The parties between whom this debate is, are the Lord 1and the people of Israel, which are here called the inhabitants of the land; whereby he implieth, First that the Lord himself was now become their adversary, seeing there is no controversy or contention but between adversaries; as though he should say; the contention shall not be hereafter between you and the Prophets, because ye contemn their persons as weak and base men, and deride and neglect their admonitions, reprehensions, and threatenings, as though they were false and ridiculous; but between the Lord himself and you, who is most wise to find out your sins, and most just to punish them. And this controversy shall be begun in the Court of Conscience, before the Tribunal Seat of Gods Judgement, where by the law which you have transgressed you shall be convicted, and after shall be fully determined when as he shall inflict upon you, such real punishments as your sins have deserved.
