For the Israelites had afterward experience of these miseries, because they were oftentimes brought into bondage by their enemies among whom they dwelled, and with whom they had ungodly joined them selves. And finally for that they would not cease of from Idolatry, they were cast out to the Assyrians and Babylonians. This chiding of God containeth just causes, wherefore the Israelites were destitute of his help for a time.1 And the end of the whole sermon is, that the people might be stirred up to repentance, and that most aptly. For among those things which do vehemently amplify sin & do set it plainly before our eyes,2 is the greatness of the benefits of god, which ought to stir us up to the observing of the law. Afterward is set forth the grievousness of the punishments, because the weight of the since committed, doth evidently declare the burden of them. Wherefore these two things are worthily alleged in the sermon, to the end the Hebrews might feel the enormity of the wicked act which they had committed, whereas otherwise they would have thought it but a light fault.
