1Wherefore now that we have briefly showed the causes of this troublesome commotion, and have defined the crime of sedition, and declared the grievousness thereof by the punishments, now let us see how ingrate the ⟨p. 198⟩Ephraimites were against Jephthah. He, seeing he had excellently well deserved of Israel, they ought undoubtedly by the law of justice and honesty, to have gone and met him, to have sung songs of victory, and with great honour and praises have exalted and commended him. For as much as justice and honesty do require this, that we should give thanks unto them, which have bestowed benefits upon us. Nature followeth this order, that we should convert the effects into their causes, for as much as they have their conservation and increase from thence, from whence they spring.
