The word of the Lord came unto Jonah, &c.
The word of the Lord came vnto Ionah, &c.
That which came unto him was not always with him, but so it was, that when the word of the Lord came unto any of the Prophets, then they were well furnished with ability to teach, to preach, to reprove, or to command whosoever the Lord would have so handled. As by example: Nathan the Prophet did David the King, that he should build a Temple, 2. Sam. 7. and 1. 1Chron. 17. And a little after he came and bid him that he should not build it. Where we see, that when he bid him build it, then the Spirit of the Lord came not unto him to bid him so to do. And therefore the Spirit of God came unto him the very same night, and bid him that he should go to David, and bid him that he should not build it. For this is evident, that as God himself is constant, so his Spirit and his word are constant, and therefore never saith and unsaith one thing.
