In the .Cvj. psalm thou readest / he destroyed the rivers and dried up the springs of water and turned the fruitful land in to bareness / for the wickedness of the inhabitants ⟨p. xlv⟩therein. When the childer of Israel had forgotten God in Egypt / God moved the hearts of the Egyptians to hate them & to subdue them with craft & wiliness. Psalm. Ciiij. and deuteronomion .iij. Moses rehearseth saying: God was anger with me for your sakes: so that the wrath of God fell on Moses for the wickedness of the people. And in the second Chapter of the second book off kings God was angry with the people and moved David to number them when Joab and the other lords wondered why he would have them numbered and because they feared lest some evil should follow / dissuaded the king: yet it helped▪ not. God so hardened his heart in his purpose / to have an occasion to slay the wicked people.1
