Now is briefly declared unto the readers, what conditions & alterations the Israelites had in all the time, which was between the pains & punishments now described, wherewith they were for their Idolatry punished, & the first king, whom they chose unto them selves, rejecting Samuel. When they were grievously oppressed, they sighed & groaned, & repenting them selves, turned unto god, & desired aid of him. And God as he is gentle & merciful, despised not their mournings & invocations but sent them some one judge, by whose leading and conduct they were delivered from their oppressors.

Wherefore ⟨image 78⟩God according to his justice punished them again, and they again when they were grievously oppressed, groaned, & continually prayed unto god, which yet again by an other judge delivered them from misery and calamity.

1Wherefore the whole time of the judges may be aptly distributed into three differences. First he Hebrews were justly punished for their since and wickedness. Secondly they being oppressed, wept, prayed, and implored help at gods hand. Lastly god by some judge delivered them. Moreover this is to be marked,
