for this is the message which God sent unto Pharaoh, Israel is my son, even my first borne,—and if thou refuse to let him go, I will 1slay thy son, even thy first borne. How much more under the Law? Is Ephraim my dear son, or pleasant child? yet since I spake unto him, I still remembered him; therefore my bowels are 2troubled for him, I will surely have compassion on him, saith the Lord. Most of all under the Gospel: Behold what love the Faith, 3hath showed us, that we should be called the sons of God. What have you here said of Gods love to man, that may not as well be said of his love to the very Angels of darkness? For is it not true in respect of them as well as in respect of us, that having given them being, he doth much more love them, after they are enstamped with his image. For he sows not wheat to reap tares; nor did he give life to Angels that he might bring forth death. God gave both man and Angels life for the manifestation of his own glory; and for the manifestation of his own glory doth he punish transgressors amongst men and Angels with everlasting death.

How much more under the Law? Is Ephraim my deare sonne, or pleasant childe? yet since I spake unto him, I still remembred him; therefore my bowels are 2troubled for him, I will surely have compassion on him, saith the Lord.
