To. But,1 before we talk any further of this wicked spirit, which came upon Saul, after that the good spirit of the Lord was departed from him. It hath heretofore been declared, that Saul was a great hypocrite, and a most glorious man, and an envious Rebel to God, and had so provoked God unto anger,2 as that he caused Samuel to tell him,3 that he should be bereaved of the kingdom,4 which he had given him, as in deed it was. And the cause why GOD gave him over unto the wicked sprite, came by reason thereof.
