First, the threatening and curse of God is directed against such, which will surely take hold of them, and not fail. The Lord, saith the law, shall send upon thee cursing, trouble, and shame, in all that ¹which thou settest thine hand to do, until thou be destroyed. And thou shalt be a wonder, a Proverb, & a common talk among all people. Yea this was denounced against, and executed upon the very Priests themselves that were impious and sinful, notwithstanding their place and function was so venerable. Behold, saith he, I will ²cast dung upon your faces. And I have made you to be despised and vile before all the people, because ye keep not my ways, but lift up your faces against the law.
