Thirdly, It was to upbraid this people that Hosea did 1preach unto at this time, for the abuse of his Prophets, ⟨p. 398⟩there was a time (saith he) a Prophet stood you in stead, now you care not for the Prophets, they may speak what they will, but you care not for them; but there was a time that a Prophet stood you in stead, how ever stout and proud you are now. I find divers Interpreters observe this, and among the Ancients especially Cyril of Alexandria hath it, showing how Instrumental a Prophet had been after good unto them. Had not God blessed the 2endeavours of a Prophet for good unto your forefathers, where had you been at this day?
