Vers. 16. Their children also shall be broken in pieces before their eyes: their houses shall be spoiled, and their wives ravished.
Vers. 16. Their children also shall be broken in pieces before their eyes: their houses shall be spoiled, and their wiues rauished.
He paints out an image of more then barbarous cruelty. For behold the uttermost extremity of the enemies rage; when no age whatsoever shall be spared; when little children are slain, who should rather be defended in regard of their young years. ⟨p. 150⟩And yet he further amplifies the cruelty, when he saith that this shall be done in the presence of their fathers and mothers. That which follows of the houses which shall be spoiled, and of the women which shall be ravished, tends also to the same end: and this falls out when the enemies having forgotten all humanity, and being inflamed with cruelty, would that those whom they have subdued were utterly rooted out, with their name also.
HEe paintes out an image of more then barbarous crueltie. For behold the vttermost extremitie of the enemies rage; when no age whatsoeuer shall be spared; when little children are slaine, who should rather bee defended in regard of their young yeares. ⟨p. 150⟩And yet he further amplifies the crueltie, when he saith that this shall be done in the presence of their fathers and mothers. That which followes of the houses which shall be spoiled, and of the women which shall be rauished, tends also to the same end: and this falles out when the enemies hauing forgotten all humanitie, and being inflamed with crueltie, would yt those whom they haue subdued were vtterlie rooted out, with their name also.
