Divers good things God hath done for his People by Prophets, As by Moses here, so afterwards by Samuel, and Elijah, and Elisha; great things in the matters of State 1God had done for this People by Prophets, and therefore he takes it very ill that they should so abuse and slight the Prophets as they did.2
