And Christ was indeed departing, except his disciples had desired him to stay in the inn at Emmaus. As for that which God saith, And if a Prophet be deceived, and hath spoken a thing, that He hath deceived him: he signifieth not thereby that he deceiveth by instilling lies into false Prophets,1 but that they are by him in just judgment delivered and given to be seduced by the devil; as God is said to have given a lying spirit into the mouths of all the Prophets of Ahab. Repl. But yet God would that the false Prophet should tell a false tale. Ans. 2He would, but in divers respects, and to a diverse end. God fore-told victory to Ahab by an Irony, and that a sharp and bitter one, thereby to recall him from making his expedition to war, and to punish him for not obeying, by delivering him to be seduced by the devil: the false Prophets fore-told victory to flatter him, the devil to destroy him, and to die.
