vnto Amos in a vision These words which Amos saw this vision or prophecie was concerning Israel vpon or against Israel Vpon Israel Israel was a common name to the 12. tribes which issued out of Iacobs loynes and was so from the beginning of Sauls reigne to the end of Salomons After whose death a rent was made in the kingdome Ieroboam sonne of Nebat seduced 10 tribes Rhehoboam Salomons sonne could keep with him but two Thus of one kingdome Israel were made two Iuda and Israel A strange division Israel divided from Israel tenne tribes from the other two Two tribes the tribes of Iuda and Beniamin continued in their obedience to the house of David the other ten forsooke it and fell away The two tribes Iuda and Beniamin called but one tribe 1. King 11.13 because of the mixture of their possessions these two tribes setled in their faithfulnesse and obedience to the seed of David are in holy scripture called sometimes u Amos. 2.4 Iuda sometimes x Ierem â— 1. Benjamin sometimes y Micah 1.1 Ierusalem sometimes z Amos 6.1 Sion sometimes * Zach. 12.7 the house of David The other tenne tribes which fell away from and forsooke their rightfull King and holy religion haue in like sort their diverse appellations a Hos 10.15 Bethel b Hos 10.5 Bethaven c Micah 1.1 Samaria d Hos 2.22 Iesreel e Amos 5.6 Ioseph f Hos 4.17 Ephraim g Hos 10.11 Iacob h Hos 10.11 Israel These are the names in the sanctified writings of the holy prophets appropriate to signifie the 10. revolted tribes Israel you see is one of them and that is the Israel in my text Thus was Amos by the holy spirit deputed and directed with his message peculiarly and properly to the kingdome of the 10. revolted tribes the kingdome of Israel Some mention is made of Iuda incidently and by the way but the scope of the prophecie is Israel The time which was my last circumstcanâ— followeth In the daies of Vzziah King of Iuda in the daies of Ieroboam the sonne of Ioash King of Israel The time is she downe in generall and in particular First in generall thus In the daies of Vzziah c Vzziah or Ozias called also Azarias 2. King 14.21 succeeded his father Amazias in the throne of Iuda This he did in the 17th yeare of the reigne of Ieroboam in Israel as appeareth 2. King 15.1 That same Ieroboam that you may distinguish him from a former King of the same name is called in my text Ieroboam the sonne of Ioash Hereby we see in generall the time of his prophecie which is more particularly set downe in the last words two yeare before the earthquake Hee meaneth that same notable and famous earthquake mentioned also Zach. 14. â—5 Yee shall fly saith he like as yee fled from the earthquake in the daies of Vzziah King of Iuda In what yeare of Vzziahs reigne this earthquâ—ke happened it is not to be collected out of holy scripture Flavius Iosephus Lib. 9. antiq Iudaic. cap. 11. saith that this earthquake happened then when King Vzziah vsurping the Priests office went into the temple of the Lord to burne incense Ribera disproueâ— Iosephus his iudgement and saith that the earthquake happened within the fourteenth yeare of the reign of Vzziah Some doe hold it was in the 22th yeare And the Hebrewes whom Funâ—cius followeth in his Chronologie doe ascribe it to the 25. yeare For my part I say not in what yeare it happened Why should I speake where the holy spirit is silent It is out of doubt that there was such an earthquake in the daies of Vzziah witnesse the Prophet Zacharie two yeares after Amos had begun his propheticall function witnesse Amos here in my text Thus dearely beloved in the Lord haue I briefly run over the exposition of this first verse let me now vpon it build some doctrine for the building vp of our selues in our holy faith you will bee pleased to remember with mee that Amos of a heardmen or a shepheard became a blessed Prophet to carry a terrible word fearefull message from the living God to the King Nobles Priests and people of Israel The doctrine to be grounded herevpon I deliver in this proposition God chooseth vile and despised persons to confound the great and mightie Vile and despised persons I call such as to the world to humane wisdome and to the eye of reason are of no price esteeme or worth Such as Ioseph was when hee kept sheepe in Canaan with his brethren and was by them sold to the Ismaelites Gen. 37.2 27. Such as Moses was when first he was cast into the flags Exod. 2.1 Such as David was while he medled with sheepfolds and followed the ewes great with youÌ„g Psal 78.70 Such as were Peter Andrew Iames Iohn while they busied themselues about mending of nets and catching of fish Matth. 4.18 21. These Ioseph Moses and David shepheards Peter Andrew Iames and Iohn fishermen vile and despised in the accompt of the world were chosen by the wisdome of the great God of heaven one to be a ruler in Egypt another to be a leader of Gods people the third to be a King the rest to be Christs Apostles Heare now a word of eternall veritie and full of comfort You shall find it Psal 113.7 8. The Lord who is high aboue al nations and glorious aboue the heavens hee raiseth the needy out of the dust and lifteth vp the poore out of the dung to set him with Princes St Pauls discourse touching this point is more large and spacious You shall find it 1. Cor. 1.27 28. God hath chosen the foolish things of this world to confound the wise the weake things to confound the strong and vile things things despised and things which are not to bring to naught the things that are The reason of Gods dealing thus in the advancement of the foolish weake vile despised needy and poore to places of dignitie is expressed 1. Cor. 1.29 It is that no flesh should reioice in his presence that is that no man should glory before the Lord. In this reason are two things worthy our religious considerations as Musculus well observeth For hereby our God first suppresseth and beateth downe the pride of flesh takes from it all glory of wisdome power and nobilitie and secondly whatsoever glory there is of wisdome power nobilitie he doth claime and challenge it for his owne peculiar Thus haue you dearely beloved the confirmation of my doctrine The doctrine was God chooseth vile and despised persons to confound the great and mightie Be patient I beseech you while I point at some vses of it The first vse is to lift vp our mindes to the contemplation of Gods good providence Poore shepheards and fishermen God exalteth and advanceth into the highest places of dignitie in Church and common-wealth Hereby wee knowe that
