BY this we may better discern that the Prophet speaks of the captivity to come,1 and of the redemption that was to ensue. Wherein he as well provided for the good of the people of his own time, as for theirs that were to succeed: that so, albeit those ⟨p. 505⟩which then lived, made no right use thereof, yet at least those that survived them, being hereby admonished, might amend. For it often falls out that the word moves not such as are present: nay, they having heard it, go their ways and contemn it: but their successors on the contrary, receive it with more reverence.
