The lot fell upon Jonah in the end, not because he was the greatest sinner of them all, 1for so is the opinion of the common people, to censure them worst whom they see most afflicted. If any one be seen to bear his cross, then many will say, this is a wicked man, and so think well of them selves, supposing that God is bent against them to ⟨p. 160⟩[…] ⟨p. 161⟩[…] ⟨p. 162⟩plague them. For he correcteth them as he did his Son, but if judgement begin at the house of God, what shall become of the ungodly?2
