For how many and great calamities have fallen upon kingdoms and peoples, for the contempt of Gods word and his ministers? 1many examples can teach us, but that especially which in the last chapter of the second book of Chronicles, is set down in these words. The Lord God of their fathers, sent to them by his messengers, rising up betimes, ⟨p. 155⟩and sending, for he had compassion on his people, and on his dwelling place. But they mocked the messengers of God, and despised his words, and jested at his Prophets, until the wrath of God arose against his people, and till there was no remedy.
