- 1Expos. 2.
Let no men boast they live more at ease than others. 1Others suffer more hardship than thou; do not think that God loves thee more than others: God loved Judah at this time more than Ephraim, and yet Ephraim lived bravely, and prevailed over Judah, and Judah was brought under in such a manner as this; Judah was Gods true Church, and Israel did apostatize from God, and yet one had more outward prosperity than the other.2 Thus many times those upon whom Gods heart is more set, they suffer hard afflictions: And those that Gods heart is not so much upon, they enjoy their prosperity.
