Chore, Dathan, and Abyrom were rebels, of whose ends ye may read in the sixteenth of the book of Numbers. If any man did maliciously bring up a slander upon his wives chastity, and was not able to prove it true, he was mearced at a sum of money, or punished with stripes, as is to be seen in the 22 of Deuteronomy. In the 19 of Levit. this precept is given: Thou shalt not go up & down with tales among thy people: neither shalt thou hate thy brother in thine heart, but shalt rebuke him and tell him thy mind plainly. Also in the 22 of Exodus it is said, thou shalt not rail upon the Gods (or Judges) nor blaspheme the ruler of thy ⟨p. 398⟩people.2
