First, Some presume that God will protect them from evil while they do evil. (Mich. 3.11.) The beads thereof judge for reward, and the Priests thereof teach for hire, and the Prophets thereof divine for money, yet will they lean upon the Lord and say, Is not the Lord among us? none evil can come upon us. These were such as made it their business to break the Law of God, yet they thought God would not suffer any trouble to break in upon them.

First, Some presume that God will protect them from evill while they doe evill. (Mich. 3.11.) The beads thereof judge for reward, and the Priests thereof teach for hire, and the Prophets thereof divine for money, yet will they leane upon the Lord and say, Is not the Lord among us? none evill can come upon us. These were such as made it their busines to breake the Law of God, yet they thought God would not suffer any trouble to breake in upon them.

What will the Almighty do against us? Surely nothing; he is not so strict as you make him. The Prophet describes the worst of men, the men settled on their lees, speaking thus (Zeph. 1.12
