LECTURES UPON THE FOURTH CHAPTER OF THE PROPHECY OF HOSEA.
LECTVRES VPON THE FOVRTH CHAPTER OF THE PROPHECIE OF HOSEA.
The Prophet having in the former Chapter 1testified and approved the love of God towards the people of Israel, to the end that those who were long to continue in a grievous Captivity, might in the middest of their miseries be supported with some comfort: doth now again direct his speech to the Israelites of his own times, accusing and convincing all states and conditions, of divers grievous and enormous sins, which reigned and ruled in the whole land; and withal intermixeth such just and well deserved punishments, as the Lord was purposed to inflict upon them, unless they prevented them by their unfeigned repentance. And least the people of Judah by following their practise, should make themselves subject to the like miseries, he admonisheth them not to communicate with them in their sins, that they might not be partakers of their punishments.

And least the people of Iuda by following their practise, should make themselues subiect to the like miseries, he admonisheth them not to communicate with them in their sinnes, that they might not be pertakers of their punishments.
