Now I having showed how God tried his by people dwelling among the idolatrous nations, what they would do, and we having seen also what they did, to wit, that they made marriages with them, and served their gods, both which have bin set down in the first part of this chapter: I will now proceed to the second part, and come to the three examples therein set down by the holy Ghost; and herein I will speak chiefly of these things therein, to wit, of the sin, punishment, repentance and deliverance of the people, and how they turned away again from the Lord afterwards. The first example is to the twelfth verse: the second to the 31. verse: the third, to the end.

Their sin is set down, first generally, that they did evil in the sight of the Lord; and then more particularly, that they forgot him, and fell to Idolatry. Here I give this watchword to the reader, that seeing I shall in this book often meet with things that I have already spoken of, at least, that there are diverse things mentioned oft and sundry times herein; therefore I will not go over them again, as oft as I meet with them, being the same
