Eighthly, They would raise reproaches upon the true worshippers of God, as in the 7. Chapter of this Prophecy, vers. 3.1 They make the King glad with their wickedness, and the Princes with their lies. That is, this was their cunning devise, to raise all the reproaches that possibly they could, against those that were true, forward, and zealous worshippers of God, especially against the Prophets and Ministers, and therefore in Amos you shall find (and he prophesied at the same time) that Amaziah said, the Land could not bear his words, they are a company of seditious men, that the Country could not bear their words, but they were even enough to set the people together by the ears, yea what are these men that oppose the Kings Laws but such and such? These were the snares that they set to catch the people, to make them out of love with the true worship of God. Thus they were a snare set upon Mispah and a n•t upon mount Tabor.
