LECTURES UPON THE SECOND CHAPTER OF THE PROPHECY OF HOSEA.
LETCVRES VPON THE SECOND CHAPTER OF THE PROPHECIE OF HOSEA.
The argument of this chapter is like 1unto the former; for herein the people of Israel are accused, and sharply reproved for their sins of idolatry, and unthankfulness towards God, and withal Gods fearful judgements are denounced, both against the whole Synagogue, and Church of Israel, and also against the particular members thereof. With which threatenings, lest the faithful and true children of God, should be too much amazed and beaten down with excessive grief, for the downfall of the Church; he raiseth them up again with sound comfort, preaching unto them the glad tidings of the Gospel, wherein he foretelleth their reconciliation with God, the espousals of the Church to her husband Jesus Christ, and the manifold benefits which should accompany this happy contract.
