4 §12We read in the 14. chapter of Ezekiel; 1If the prophet be deceived, I have seduced him; and I will stretch forth my hand, and will smite him. He entreateth of the false prophets, which ever between whiles vainly fed the people. §13Jeremiah saith in the fourth chapter, 2that God deceived the people. §14In the 63. chapter of Isaiah the prophet complaineth; 3Wherefore hath God so seduced the people, or made them to err, that they should depart from him? §15Solomon saith in his Proverbs; 4Even as the violence of waters, so is the kings hart in the hand of God. Undoubtedly Pharaoh was a king, therefore he inclined his will unto what part he would. §16Nebuchadnezzar was a king, therefore he inclined his will unto which part he would. §17In the 104. psalm, 5it is said of the Egyptians, that God turned their harts, so as they hated the children of Israel: they seemed before to love the Israelites. §18In the second epistle to the Thessalonians, the second chapter; 6Because men cast away the love of the truth, therefore God sent them strong illusions, that they might give credit unto lies. It is written in the eleventh chapter of Joshua, 7that None made peace with the children of Israel, among all the nations of the Canaanites, save only the Gibeonites. For God encouraged their hart to fight against the Israelites. And it is added, unto what end; namely, that they should be weeded out by them. Assuredly, he did animate them, that they should not desire to have peace, but rather to have war.
