And their Idols shall be a snare unto you. Namely wherewith ye shall be taken, and when ye shall be given to their Idolatry, ye shall be punished with most grievous punishments and discommodities. Augustine in his 13.1 question upon this book hath noted, that God threateneth after his accustomed manner, that at the length it shall come to pass, that he will punish since by since. For the Israelites in not obeying the commandment of God committed sin: and he again threateneth that Idols shall be a stumbling block unto them, namely that they should worship them, wherefore afterward they should be grievously punished. By which words he declareth that the first transgression should be punished and chastised with the wicked crime of Idolatry, as Paul testifieth to the Romans, that the Idolatry of the Ethnics was punished with most filthy lusts. But the punishment of the Israelites (as it is here set forth) hath with out doubt a great emphasis. For what can there happen more grievous, than to be among thorns, and continually to fall among them? Undoubtedly hereof follow wounds almost thorough out all the parts of the body, and new pains, and those vehement succeed one an other. And as thorns if they stick in the flesh do sharply prick, so to dwell among enemies, and to have them joined ⟨image 67⟩together with us, can not be but very full of troubles.

For ye Israelites in not obeyeng the commaundement of God committed synne: and he agayne threatneth that Idoles shalbe a stumblyng blocke vnto them, namely that they should worship them, wherfore afterwarde they should be grieuously punished. By whiche wordes he declareth that the first transgression should be punished and chastised with the wicked crime of Idolatry, as Paul testifieth to the Romanes, that the Idolatry of the Ethnikes was punished with most filthy lustes. But ye punishement of the Israelites (as it is here set forth) hath with out doubt a great emphasys. For what can there happen more grieuous, than to be among thornes, and continuallye to fall among them? Vndoubtedly hereof followe woundes almost thoroughe out al the partes of the body, and new paynes, and those vehement succede one an other. And as thornes if they sticke in the fleshe do sharpely pricke, so to dwell among enemyes, and to haue them ioyned
