And when Gideon was dead, the Israelites went a whoring and worshipped Baal. Whereby we may learn how ingrate men are towards God. He had adorned them with so many benefits, & yet their good prince being dead, which kept them in their duty, they fell straightway from the true worshipping of him. Wherefore it hereby manifestly appeareth how diligently we must pray for good princes & a godly Magistrate: for then is understand with how great a commodity they were given unto the people, when now at the length the anger of God waxing fierce, they are taken away. For that there were many Baalim, 1in this place is particular mention made of Baal-berith which a man may call Jovē foederis, or Jovē foederatum. Him made they a God over them, and worshipped him for the Lord. The sum of the worshipping of him seemeth to be this, that they referred ⟨image 162⟩all the good things which they had, as received of him: & they believed that he turned away from them those evils which they were not troubled with. By reason of which faith, they counted him for their God, & worshipped his outward image.
