But Fourthly, When was this time?1 To what time doth this refer? when was God a moth unto Ephraim and rottenness to Judah? For that, and to show the story of it, it would require some time, I only refer you to the Scriptures that have the stories of both these, when the moth began, and when the rottenness began. In the 1 King. chap. 15. from verse 8. and so on, to the end of the 17. chapter of the second book of the Kings, there you may find, the time when God was a moth unto Ephraim: And for Judah, in 2. King. chapter 16. there you may find how God was rottenness unto Judah, and it was from Ahaz his time to the time of their being carried away captive into Babylon, which was about an hundred and sixty years. And Josephus 2in his book (besides the books of the Scripture) in Lib. 9. chap. 12. and Lib. 15. towards the latter end, and Lib. 10. chap. 10. He likewise setteth forth the condition both of Ephraim and of Judah, when the Lord was a moth unto the one and rottenness to the other.
