1A month] I find Interpreters have a great deal of do about this expression. Many think that God aims at one special month, and they tell u• of one month in the year which answereth to our July, that there were many grievous things to befall the Jews in that month in former times, and in latter times too, as if that were a more Ominous month than any other. I will not spend time to speak further of that.

But there is certainly somewhat else in this expression. I find an expression parallel to this in Zech. 11.8. the holy Ghost there speaks of three Shepherds that God will cut off in one month; these Idol Shepherds, saith he, My soul loathed them, and their soul also abhorred me, I will cut them off in one month. There is the most exact description of your superstitious Idol Shepherds, even such as we have at this day amongst us in many places, saith God, My soul loathed them, and their soul abhorred me. Who do more hate the power of godliness than those kind of men, and against whom is the soul of God more than against those kind of men? And I will destroy them in a month saith God. Wherefore by this Month I take the meaning of the holy Ghost to be in these two things.
