1But here is a difficulty; In the first Chapter you heard there that God though he threatened Israel, yet he saith, I will ⟨p. 401⟩have mercy upon Judah; but here he saith, Ephraim shall fall and Judah also shall fall with him: Now for the reconciling of that we are to know that, though Judah fall with Israel, yet there shall be a great deal of difference in their falling. Israel, the ten Tribes shall fall, be brought into captivity, so as never to return again, I mean never to return from their captivity in that way as Judah did; Judah was to return again after seventy years; so Judah fell with them,2 but they fell not as they fell. Though the Saints therefore may be scourged with rods, yea with scorpions as they are at this day, as well as wicked men, yet the Lord doth not, he will not, take his loving kindness from them.
