And so much concerning the first degree of the Israelites punishment, signified by the birth of the Prophets first child. Now followeth the second degree; the withholding of Gods mercy from them. The which is first typically shadowed under the name of the second child; and after manifestly expressed: first, simply, in the reason why this name was imposed, verse 6. and afterwards amplified by way of comparison or dissimilitude: verse 7.

The second degree of their punishment is simply set down verse 6. She conceived yet again, and bare a daughter. And Verse 6 God said unto him; Call her name Lo-ruchamah: for I will no more have pity upon the house of Israel: but I will utterly take them away.
The second degree of their punishmēt is simply set down verse 6. Shee conceiued yet againe, and bare a daughter. And Verse 6 God said vnto him; Call her name Lo-ruchamah: for I will no more haue pity vpon the house of Israel: but I will vtterly take them away.
Whereas the Prophet saith, that his wife conceived yet again, he showeth, that there was a certain space or distance 1of time between the birth of the two children: by which he signifieth, that the Lord after that he had for their sins inflicted upon them the first punishment, would not presently bring upon them his second and more grievous judgement, but would give them some respite and time of repentance, that so turning unto him, he might spare them and receive them to mercy. For if they had, after they were overthrown and led captives, unfeignedly repented of their sins, the Lord would have had compassion on them, and received them into his love and favour. But when they obstinately continued in their impenitency, the Lord refuseth to show mercy unto them. And this he signifieth by the birth of the second child.
