On this ground the Lord cast of the house of Ely, 1 Sam. 2. 30. and Saul, 1 Sam. 13. 13, 14. and Solomons kingdom in part, 1 Kings 11. 11. and Coniah, Jer. 22. 28, 30. This is exemplified in sundry parables as of the vineyard, Isaiah 5. 5. of the figtree, Luk. 13. 7. Of the olive branches, Rom. 11. 20. and of the husbandmen, Mar. 12. 9.
