For before he spake of the restitution of the Church; but now he threatens that Gods judgements are ready to seize upon those who gave themselves to a pompous, delicious, and an idle course of life. It should seem therefore that Isaiah takes up a new matter in this place.1 Yet will there be no great inconvenience, if this prophecy be joined to the former: for the Prophets usually keep this course; first, they lay forth promises of ⟨p. 323⟩grace to the faithful; then they direct their speech to the hypocrites, testifying that the mercy which God promiseth to his children, shall be so far off from benefiting of them, that they shall surely bear the reward of their sins.
IT seemes there should bee no coherence betweene these words and the former. For before hee spake of the restitution of the Church; but now hee threatens that Gods iudgements are readie to seise vpon those who gaue themselues to a pompous, delicious, and an idle course of life.
