By this place is gathered, that no mans goods are taken away, neither are any brought into bondage, except God himself both will and also bring to pass the same. For it is said here that he gave them into the hands of raveners, and sold them into the hands of their enemies round about them. David in his .xliiii. Psalm grievously complaineth of this plague, and saith that God had sold his without any price:1 which place Augustine considering, he sayeth that at the first sight it seemeth absurd, that any should be sold, when no price is given. But thus he answereth, as touching the enemies, which sold the Israelites, there was a price given by the buyers. But as touching God, which was the principal cause of the selling, he took no price. For what could those Idolatrous, violent, and ravenous men, unto whom the Jews were delivered to be sold, give unto him? Undoubtedly they neither bought nor deserved those commodities with any reward. Or ells we may think, that the price of the Hebrew bondmen, was so small and vile, that it was counted for nothing,2 and so by this figure of speech they were said to be sold without any price. Wherefore Isaiah in his .lii. Chapter, writeth: Ye are sold for nought.

Psalme grieuously complayneth of this plague, and saith that God had solde hys withoute any price:1 which place Augustine consideryng, he sayeth that at the fyrst sighte it semeth absurde, that any shoulde be solde, when no price is geuen. But thus he aunswereth, as touching the enemies, which solde the Israelites, there was a price geuen by the byers. But as touching God, which was the principall cause of the selling, he tooke no price. For what could those Idolatrous, violent, and rauenous men, vnto whom ye Iewes were deliuered to be sold, geue vnto him? Vndoubtedly they neither bought nor deserued those commodities with any reward. Or ells we may thynke, that the price of the Hebrewe bondmen, was so small and vile, that it was counted for nothyng,
