But now that's observable, Though they thought they had agreed deal of Reason for themselves, yet after they had once smarted, and they found indeed that there was that oppression upon them after they had a King and these Princes more than ever they were under in their lives, now was a time that Hosea could speak freely to them, and say in the Name of God, Where is your King, and those men that you were so earnest for? what good have you got? For it is observable though they were never so eager upon having a King, yet if you read the story in Samuel, when God did but thunder from Heaven, Oh! then we have sinned; and when they were under oppression, then Hosea could speak freely and plainly to them, Where is your King? and where are these men?

Men will not hear so long as they do not suffer; If men be 1once set upon a way, and have their Estates about them, and countenance from great ones, speak what you will against their way, they will not hear you; but let these men smart for their way, and find by experience the evil of it, then you may speak to them and say, Do you think now that it was wisely done, that that you were so eager upon? do you think you dealt well for your selves? Oh then they will be ready to say, I confess I did not think so seriously of those things before, I looked only upon that, that appeared for the present, and now after-wit is bought, although it be dear, I see cause now to repent of what I have done.
