This only by way of allusion.

To whom was this Prophet Hosea sent.
He was sent especially to the Ten Tribes. I suppose you all know the division that there was of the people of Israel in Rehoboams time, ten of the Tribes went from the house of David, only Judah and Benjamin remained with it. Now these ten Tribes renting themselves from the house of David, did rent themselves likewise from the true worship of God, & there grew up horrible wickednesses, and all manner of abominations amongst them. To these ten Tribes God sent this Prophet. He sent Isaiah & Micah to Judah, Amos and Hosea he sent to Israel, all these were contemporary.
