No doubt but the Judges of that time were very unwilling to hear such reprehensions: §1for they could not endure to be handled §2so sharply; neither did they think it §3was lawful so to do: because they would §4have all in their power; & would have their fantasies held for law, that all things which §5please them should be lawful for them; that every man should gloss and flatter them, by consenting to the things which they had §6wickedly done: they would be judged of none in their actions; no, they would not be subject to God himself. Being grown to this unruliness then, so as they could neither bear admonitions nor threatenings, the Prophet even summons them to appear before the judgement seat of God.
