the Chaldeans vnto the setting forth giuing of the law of God vnto the people of Israel by Moses in the desert of Sinai This age comprehendeth 430. yeares as the holy Scripture it selfe doth declare Exod. 12. ver 41. Galat. 3. ver 17. This third age had these sixe Prophets well knowne Abraham Isaac Iacob who also is called Israel Ioseph Moses and Aaron as appeareth in Genesis the epistle vnto the Hebrews 11. cap. and infinite other places For whither in the meane season whilst the children of Israel liued vnder the Pharaos in Egypt after the death of Ioseph and before the birth or the wing of Moses there were any other Prophets of God of the Israelites ab●ding in Egypt the holy Scripture doth no where plainly make any mention And therefore neither wil I affirme the ●ame Further whereas some will haue certaine propheticall writings of Ab●●ham the Patriarch to be extant they are child●shly ●●ceiued foolishly setting one of the Rabbines called Abraham in steade of Abraham the Patriarch The 4. age from the Lawe to the bu●lding of the temple by Salomon 480 yeres had many prophets as The fourth age of the worlde is to be reckoned of vs from the giuing of the Law in Mount Sinai vntill the building of the Temple of God at Ierusalem by Salomon the which falleth into the fourth yeare of Salomon his reigne This age conteineth 480. yeares as appeareth 1. Thing 6. cap ver 1. And in the 480. yeare after the children of Israel came out of the land of Egypt and in the 4. yeare of the reigne of Salomon ouer Israel in the moneth Zif which is the second moneth he built the house of the Lord. This age had store of many godly Prophets Josua O●bora the Prophet 1. Sam. 2. ver 29. Samuel Davi● Nathan Gad. as these by the word of God well knowne vnto vs Iosua which succeeded Moses Deborah and a long time after that ●ame man of God se●t vnto Eli 1. Sam. 2. ver 27. Samuel David Nathan Gad. But whether those also were Prophets which wrote the books of the warres Num. 21. ver 14. and the booke of Iasher Ios cap. 10. ver 13. Also the bookes of Chronicles of the kingdome of Iuda and Israel whereof mention is often made in the bookes of the Kings is not set downe in the holy Scripture But that Dauid and Nathan and Gad were Prophets of God appeareth 2. Sam. 12. 1. Chron. 29. ver 29. and cap. 21. Besides these if there were any other Prophets in that age their names are not rehearsed For that which is written of Othoniel the Iudge in the third of the Iudges vers 10. and of other Iudges also that the Spirite of God fell vpon them when as they were called of God extraordinarily vnto that office this in my iudgement is not to be vnderstoode of the Spirits of prophesie as if then they became Prophets that is foretellers of things to come such as was Isaias Ieremias and others but it is to be vnderstoode of the spirite of fortitude or strength whereby they might be able boldly and without feare to resist and withstand the enemies of the Church were they neuer so much to be feared Neither are there any prophesies extant of those Iudges who after Iosua gouerned Israel as politique Magistrates in many ages neither are there any of them reckoned at any time among the Prophets but among the Magistrates of Israel Therefore that which is Hebr. cap. 11. ver 32. And what shall I more say For the time would be too short for me to test of Gedeon of Barac of Sampson of Iephthe and Dauid and Samuel and the Prophets doth not prooue those Iudges to be numbred among the Prophets but onely among godly men which by faith serued God For Paul Act. 13. ver 20. calleth them onely Kritas that is Iudges whereas he calleth Samuel who was himselfe a iudge in Israel a prophet also And albeit God Deu. 18.15 promised the Israelites that is his Church that it should come to passe that out of it he would raise vp Prophets euen after that Moses was deade yet was not this rancke and course of Prophets succeeding one an other continuall but oftentimes broken off as I haue said And in deede all the whole time in a manner of the Iudges it seemeth that there were none Few prophets in the time of the Judges or else very few Prophets of God in the Church Therefore 1. Sam. 3. ver 1. vision and prophesie is said to haue bin very rare and fayling in Israel that is in the Church and people of God But after Samuel it began to be both more common and also more knowne Therefore in his time there were many Prophets as appeareth 1. Sam. cap. 9. and 10. whose names notwithstanding the holy Scripture doth not set downe The 5. age frō the temple vnto the carrying away of the ten tribes by Salmanazar 294 yeares among many other had these prophets Proofe for this former spputation of time The fifth age of the world is from the Temple of God builded at Ierusalem by Salomon King of Iudah vnto the leading and carrying away of the tenne tribes of the kingdome of Israel by Salmanazar King of the Assyrians into Assyria and Mesopotamia that which fell into the eight yeare or there about o● die reigne of Ezechias king of Iudah like as the besieging o● Samaria by the same Salmanazar happened about the sixth yeare of the reigne of the said Ezechias 2. King cap. 17. ver 6. In th● ninth yeare of Hoshea the king of Asshur tooke Samaria and carru● Israel away into Asshur And cap. 18. ver 9 10. And in th● fourth yeare of king Hezekiah which was the seuenth yeare of H●●shea sonne of Elah king of Israel Shalmanesar king of Asshur cam● vp against Samaria and besieged it And after three yeares they to●● it euen in the sixth yeare of Hezekiah that is the ninth yeare of Hesheaking of Israel was Samaria taken This age hath two hundred ninetie foure yeares to wit thirtie sixe of those fourtie yeares in which king Salomon reigned after he had built the Temple of God and two hundred fiftie eight yeares after the setting vp o● the kingdome in Israel by Ieroboam the sonne of Nabat that is among the tenne tribes the which fell a way from the kingdome of Iudah by and by after the death or Salomon For so man● yeares namely two hundred fiftie eight continued the same kingdome of Israel rent from the kingdome of Iudah Nowe th● age had Prophets almost innumerable For there was neuer any age vnder the whole olde Testament more full of them 〈◊〉 more garnished with the gifts of God and prophesies that a● well the Iewes as the Israelites might be made inexcusable 〈◊〉 without excuse for the despising of God and his worde Wherefore both of them for this cause afterwarde were very sharpel● and iustly punished by God as appeareth 2.

Concerning this their estate and God his then mercy towards them conferre this place with that of the Psam 81. vers 6 7. where wee finde it thus I haue withdrawen his shoulder from the burthen and his handes haue left the pots Thou calledst in affliction and I deliuered thee and answered thee in the secret of the thunder And with Exod. 20. vers 2. where God himselfe putteth them in minde both of their former condition and of his deliuerance speaking to them in this wise I am the Lord thy God which haue brought thee out of the land of Egypt out of the house of bondage Now this was a most large and plentifull testimony or witnes of his loue in that he brought the selfe same tribes out of Egypt hauing now adopted or chosen them vnto his sonnes Which myracle and worke of God is most knowen This place applied vnto Christ. But Math. cap. 2. ver 15. applieth this same vnto Christ whom God the father for a time led aside into Egypt because of the persecution of Herod In the which it is true that the couenant of GOD with the Iewes at that time seemed to bee vtterly broken off when as GOD because of their vnthankfulnesse withdrewe his sonne out of the whole countrey of Israell and then it seemed to bee againe restored when as afterward hee called the selfe same his sonne backe againe into the same land of Israel But as I sayd Matthew applyeth these things vnto Christ because that the same thing was to be fulfilled in the head the which figuratiuely and in a shadow was done in the whole body Vers 2. They called them but they went thus from them they sacrificed vnto Baalim and burnt incense to images An amplification of the former benefit THe first amplification of the former benefite of GOD by the contrary that is by the contrary stubbornnes of this people who had receiued so great a benefite from God For albeit they were most often put in minde hereof by the Prophets to acknowledge the same yet for all that did they not acknowledge God or consecrate and giue themselues vnto him nay the more diligently they were called backe vnto this duetie so much the more disobediently they departed from him and forsaking the same true God their benefactor did cleaue both vnto Baalims and vnto their images This is the summe of the amplification 2 Things here to be noted But there are two things here to be noted The one to wit that God was not contented once or to haue bestowed one benefit only vpon the Israelites 1 The bestowing and continuing of benefits vpon them wherwith notwithstanding he called them as it were from death vnto life but also continued them afterwarde For he raised vp vnto them and gaue them continually Prophets and his seruants the which might put them in minde of their duety towards God And so God promiseth by Moses Deut. 18. vers 15. That he will rayse vp vnto them a Prophet like vnto him from among them euen of their brethren vnto whom they should hearken And Act. 7. vers 37. this is againe confirmed by the Martyr Steuen And likewise Zach. 1. 2 That thereby they are not bettered but waxe worse worse The other poynt to be noted is that the Israelites all this notwithstanding became the harder and the worse departed the farther and the more from God by how much they were called back more neerely and often vnto him the which no doubt is a shew a note of desperate or vnrecouerable and past and all hope disobedience and stubbornnes of minde Vers 3. I led Ephraim also as one should beare them in his armes but they knew not that I healed them The second amplification of the same benefite THe second amplification of the same benefite taken from the place but the person onely by whome they were admonished or warned is here changed For in the verse before he speaketh of the Prophets but in this place of God The Israelites therefore despised not onely the Prophets of God but also God himselfe teaching them and diuerse waies going about to bring them into the way againe Nay moreouer that which is a signe of brasen-faced shamelesnes and vnamendable rebellion against God the more earnestly they were by God brought into the way and called back from idols the more egerly and hotly did they worship those their idols and embraced them the more straightly and sweetly in their armes and bosomes Finally they neuer acknowledged themselues to haue bin relieued by God in their greatest afflictions for here he compareth afflictions vnto most grieuous diseases and resembleth the deliuerance from those afflictions vnto the healing and medicine of a griefe but such was the obstinate and stubborne malice of their minde and their vncurable idolatrie they attributed all benefites all deliuerances of theirs vnto their idols as vnto the authors of them and for this cause sacrificed vnto them This place especially concerneth the enemies of God his people but generally all such as doe imitate them in the like sinnes and not vnto the true God as hath bin shewed before cap. 4. ver 14.8 ver 11. And of this complaineth God against them by the Prophet Ioel cap. 3. ver 5. after this manner Ye haue taken my siluer and my golde and haue caried into your temples my goodly and pleasant things Vers 4. I led them with cordes of a man euen with the bands of loue and I was to them as he that taketh off the yoke from their iawes and I layde the meate vnto them The third amplification of the former benefite THe third amplification of the same benefite described before And it is taken from the entire or earnest and most louing affection of God himselfe For there could not any thing be done more kindly vnto the Israelites then it which then was done by God vnto them neither could there any thing be performed more louingly vnto them For God witnesseth that at that time he drewe and brought forth the Israelites by al those waies and meanes whereby any thing is done or bestowed vpon any man heartily louingly and friendly For he defended them against the Egyptians egerly pursuing after them he fed them with meate from heauen by the space of 40. yeares he kept their garments whole and sound in the wildernes he saued them harmlesse from wilde beastes he led them in all their whole iourney with great carefulnes by a fierie pillar by night and by a cloude by day And thus much doth Moses testifie of God in his song Deuter. 32. ver 10 11. when hee saith He found him in the lande of the wildernes in a wast roaring wildernes he led him about he taught him and kept him as the apple of his eye As an egele stirreth vp her nest fluttereth ouer her birds stretcheth out her wings taketh them and beareth them on her wings so the Lord alone led him

first after the Temple was purged by the Machabees vntill the destruction of Ierusalem In all the which time the Iewes were so constant or stedfast in remouing of Idols from themselues and from the Temple of God that they often skirmished with the Romanes about that matter Ioseph lib. 1.2 3. de Bello Iudaico neither are they sayd or read since that time especially in Iudea to haue been Idolators as they were before vnder the Antiochi and before also vnder the Kings of Iudah and Israel Secondly this selfe same thing hath much more been fulfilled after the preaching of the Gospell and is now at this day also fulfilled in the true Church of God out of the which Idols were afterward cast by the Christian Emperours themselues and now also are remoued and alwayes haue been refused by the Christians This therefore is one part of the second benefit in this place comprehended and contained 2. The false teachers loosing their authoritie in the Church The second part is the false teachers loosing of their authoritie in the Church nay moreouer their correction and chastising as is shewed in the verses following Here therefore God promiseth that he will remoue the false Teachers whom he calleth Prophets to wit in a generall signification taking this word and not for those which truely doe foretell things to come but for those which professe or take vpon themselues to bee the interpreters and expounders of the law and word of God but falsely Further God also promiseth that he will remoue their Father and Spirit to wit the vncleane Spirit And by the name of the vncleane Spirit is the diuell signified as where it is sayd Matth. 12. ver 43. Now when the vncleane spirit is gone out of a man he walketh throughout drie places seeking rest and findeth none Likewise Mark. 1. ver 26. And the vncleane spirit tare him and cried with a lowd voyce and came out of him ☞ For the diuell is the author of all error and lying as Christ Iohn 8. ver 44. witnesseth that he is a lyar and the father thereof as he is also the author of that corruption which is brought into the true and heauenly doctrine the which is signified Reuelat. 16. ver 13. by the vncleane spirits like frogges comming out of the mouth of the dragon and out of the mouth of the beast and out of the mouth of the false Prophet Now God sheweth that he will earnestly and diligently ouerthrow all that same false interpretation and doctrine of the false Prophets when as he promiseth that the author thereof also shall be remoued out of the Church of God And this was fulfilled especiallie by Christ himselfe who confuted or ouerthrew the false doctrine of the Scribes and Pharises Matth. 5. Secondly by his Apostles through the preaching of the Gospell and now by the true Pastors of the Church of God out of the word of God Vers 3. And when any shall yet prophesie his father and his mother that begat him shall say vnto him Thou shalt not liue for thou speakest lyes in the name of the Lord and his father and his mother that begat him shall thrust him through when he prophesieth A Confirmation of the former promise of the rooting out of false doctrine the which is taken from the euent issue A confirmation of the former promise of the rooting cut of false doctrine or falling out of the matter For the false teachers shall be in such hatred that they shall not so much as be priuatly borne with of their friends or at their hands remaine vnpunished much lesse publikely or openly And here are three things taught First who shall punish false Prophets yea euen priuatly to wit their very parents which begat them the which is in this sentence twise repeated very effectuallie and not only their father but also their mother 1. Who shall priuatly punish the false Prophets whose affection towards her children is wont to bee most tender but at that time the loue of godlines and the desire and liking of true faith shall ouercome and get the vpper hand in them And so was it commanded concerning such as should entice vnto idolatrie were they neuer so neere of kinne Deut. 13. ver 9. Thou shalt euen kill him saith God in that place thine hand shall be first vpon him to put him to death then the hands of all the people And that which here is set downe in precept seemeth by Moses to bee testified of the children of Leui that it was performed in action when they drew their swords at the commandement of God and slew euery man his brother in the reuenge of the great idolatrie which was committed in worshipping of the golden Calfe whereunto he alludeth Deut. 33. ver 9. saying Who sayd vnto his father and vnto his mother I haue not seene him neither knewe he his brethren nor knewe his owne children meaning that he slew all without partialitie for they obserued thy word and kept thy couenant For wee ought to loue GOD more then our owne children For Christ sayth Matth. 10. ver 37. He that loueth father or mother more then me is not worthie of me And he that loueth sonne or daughter more then me is not worthie of me And out of this place is easily gathered if he ought to doe this who is as it were a Magistrate but only in his owne familie or houshold how much more ought he to punish the said false Shepheards who is a Magistrate in the Common wealth that is vnto whom a greater care and charge of reuenging the glorie and doctrine of God is cōmitted by God himself The second thing is what punishmēt shall be appoynted for them 2. What punishment they shall haue namely death and destruction For so I thinke these wordes to bee expounded Thou shalt not liue Shall thrust him through Not that all false doctrine and the teacher therof is to be put to death notwithstanding for one doth more hurt and is obstinate or stiffe necked in his opinions then another in the Church of God but for that if the case so stand or fault be such that the sonne be to be punished with death by his father or by his mother for his stiffe standing in his error the parents will not spare that their sonne themselues there shall be in them so great a zeale of maintaining of the trueth The third thing is for what cause the Prophets both are to bee iudged false 3. For what cause the Prophets are to be iudged false Prophets and also to be punished and also to bee punished to wit for that they haue taught a lye that in the name of the Lord as if they were true Prophets So then their fault and sacrilege or robberie appeareth to be two-fold and both of them committed against God to wit for that they corrupt or falsifie his trueth for this is a lye and doe falsely boast that they are sent

Now this first verse is a promise of this new state of the church which should be renued and restored The renuing of the Church and the destruction of the wicked the which because it could not be those wicked and vngodly ones remaining in the Church whome he had described before he teacheth that their most grieuous and last destruction and ouerthrow should by and by be taking a similitude from a most hotte burning fire and such as should most easilie deuour them as light stubble The which thing although some doe expound of the last destruction of Ierusalem the which fel out in the end after Christ his ascension or going vp into heauen I rather expound it of those miseries the which the Iewes suffered after the dayes of Malachias vntill the comming of Christ vnder the Grecian Kings of Syria and Egypt Vers 2. But vnto you that feare my name shall the Sunne of righteousnes arise and health shall be vnder his winges and ye shall go forth and grow vp as fat calues The happines of the godly HE sheweth by the contrarie how happy and full shall be the good successe and estate of the godly and the faithfull whom in this place he calleth those that feare God that it might be the more ioyful vnto them That it shall be full he teacheth by the cause for that the Church shall then haue and see the Messias in whome there is full and perfect righteousnes and the remedie and medicine for all our sinnes and miseries and that with the cleare and euident and hence foorth no more darkened and light of knowledge And the Church shall see it in the Gospell in heart imbrace it Vers 3. And ye shall tread downe the wicked for they shall be dust vnder the soles of your feete in that day that I shall doo this saith the Lord of hostes An amplification of the former benefit AN amplification of the former benefit of God taken from the most full victorie which the godly in the end shall haue ouer the wicked because that the godly in the end shal at the full haue rule ouer the wicked neither shall the godly be any more afraid of them And this do I vnderstand of the full and last happinesse and resurrection or rysing againe of the godly Psalm 149. Vers 4. Remember the law of Moses my seruant which I commanded vnto him in Horeb for all Israell with the Statutes and Iudgmentes A double admonition A Profitable admonition consisting of two partes the first conteined in this verse the secōd expressed in the verse folowing The first wherein the godly are taught namely that vntil such time as these things come to passe 1. That they must continue in the law of God giuen by Moses they must perseuere or continue and serue God both in the morall and also the ceremoniall and political or Iudicial law of God giuen vnto them by Moses and that the must not by any meanes turne from the same vnto the inuentions and heathenish ordinances of men Vers 5. Behold I will send you Elijah the Prophet before the comming of the great and fearefull day of the Lord. 2. Of the time and notes that the former benefite is giuen them of God THe second admonition concerning the time and the notes and markes by the which the godly shall vnderstand know the former benefit to be giuen by God And this shall then bee when as Iohn the Baptist shall be sent the which shall begin that same wonderfull restoring and renuing of the Church So doth Christ himselfe expound this place of Iohn the Baptist Mat. 11. ver 13.14 in these wordes saying All the Prophets and the Law Prophesied vnto Iohn And if ye will receiue it this is Elias which was to come The like is Mark 1. Vers 6. And he shall turne the heart of the fathers to the children and the heart of the children to their fathers least I come and smite the earth with cursing A commendation and approbation of the office of Iohn the Baptist A Commendation and an approbation or allowance both of the person and also of the office of Iohn the Baptist together with a description or setting foorth of his office And here withall also doth the Euangelist Marke begin his historie of the Gospell cap. 1. ver 1.2 after this maner The beginning of the Gospell of Iesus Christ the Sonne of God As it is written in the Prophets Behold I send my messenger before thy face which shall prepare thy way before thee And with this place of Malachias fully agreeth the place of Luke cap. 1. ver 17. where the Angel Gabriel sayth vnto Zacharias concerning Iohn the Baptist He shall go before him to wit before Christ in the spirit and power of Elias to turne the hearts of the fathers to the children and the disobedient to the wisedome of the iust men to make readie a people prepared for the Lord.
