gold and silver is cankered; and the rust of them shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as it were fire. Ye have heaped treasure together for the last days. Behold, the hire of the labourers who have reaped down your fields, which is of you kept back by fraud, crieth: and the cries of them which have reaped are entered into the ears of the Lord of sabaoth. Ye have lived in pleasure on the earth, and been wanton; ye have nourished your hearts, as in a day of slaughter. Ye have condemned and killed the just; and he doth not resist you, v. 1--6.

b Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love. Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent, Rev. ii. 4, 5. I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth, iii. 15, 16.

For I will not dare to speak of any of those things which Christ hath not wrought by me, to make the Gentiles obedient by word and deed, Through mighty signs and wonders, by the power of. the Spirit of God; so that from Jerusalem, and round about unto Illyricum, I have fully preached the Gospel of Christ. Yea, so have I strived to preach the Gospel, not where Christ was named, lest I should build upon another man's foundation: But as it spoken of, they shall see : and they is written, To whom he was not that have not heard shall understand, xv. 18-21.

When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)

a But when ye shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not, (let him that readeth understand,) then let them that be in Judæa flee to the mountains, Mark xiii. 14. For the days shall come upon thee, that thine enemies shall cast a trench about thee, and compass thee round, and keep thee in on every side, Luke xix. 43.

Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip, Heb. ii. 1.

And a woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!

a And thou shalt eat the fruit of thine own body, the flesh of thy sons and of thy daughters, which the LORD thy God hath given thee, in the siege, and in the straitness, wherewith thine enemies shall distress thee: So that the man that is tender among you, and very delicate, his eye shall be evil toward his brother, and toward the wife of his bosom, and toward the remnant of his children which he shall leave: So that he will not give to any of them of the flesh of his children whom he shall eat because he hath nothing left him in the siege, and in the straitness, wherewith thine enemies shall distress thee in all thy gates. The tender and delicate woman among you, which would not adventure to set the sole of her foot upon the ground for delicateness and tenderness, her eye shall be evil toward the husband of her bosom, and toward her son, and toward her daughter, Deut. xxviii. 53-56. Even the sea monsters draw out the breast, they give suck to their young ones: the daughter of my people is become cruel, like the ostriches in the wilderness. The tongue of the sucking child cleaveth to the roof of his mouth for thirst: the young children ask bread, and no man breaketh it unto them, Lam. iv. 3, 4. The hands of the pitiful women have sod

Samaria shall become desolate; for she hath rebelled against her God: they shall fall by the sword: their infants shall be dashed in pieces, and their women with child shall be ripped up, Hos. xiii. 16. But woe to them that are with child, and to them that give suck, in those days! and pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, Mark xiii. 17, 18. But woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck, in those days! for there shall be great distress in the land, and wrath upon this people, Luke xxi. 23. For, behold, the days are coming, in the which they shall say, Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that never suck. Then shall they begin to say bare, and the paps which never gave to the mountains, Fall on us, and to the hills, Cover us, xxiii. 29, 30.

VER. 20.

But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, aneither on the sabbath day:

Let them be blotted out of the book of the living, and not be written with the righteous, Psal. lxix. 22-28. For, behold, the LORD will come with fire, and with his chariots like a whirlwind, to render his anger with fury, and his rebuke with flames of fire. For by fire and by his sword, will the LORD plead with all flesh and the slain of the LORD shall be many, Isa. lxvi. 15, 16. And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth up for the children of thy people and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book, Dan. xii. 1. Hear this ye old men, and give ear all ye inhabitants of the land. Hath this been in your days, or even in the days of your fathers? Joel i. 2. For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city. Then shall the LORD go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle, Zech. xiv. 2, 3. For, behold, the day cometh that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the LORD of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch, Mal. iv. 1. For in those days shall be affliction, such as was not from the beginning of the creation, which God created, unto this time, neither shall be, Mark xiii. 19. And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled, Luke xxi. 24.

b Thus saith the LORD, As the new wine is found in the cluster, and one, saith, Destroy it not; for a blessing is, in it: so will I do for my servants' sakes, that I may not destroy them all. And I will bring forth a seed out of Jacob, and out of Judah an inheritor of my mountains: and mine elect shall in-. herit it, and my servants shall dwell there, Isa. lxv. 8, 9. And it shall come to pass, that in all the land, saith the LORD, two parts therein shall be cut off and die; but the third shall be left therein. And I will bring the third part through the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried: and they shall call on my name, and I will hear them: I will say, It is my people; and they shall say, The LORD is my God, Zech. xiii. 8, 9.

a And then if any man shall say to you, Lo, here is Christ; or, lo, he is there; believe him not, Mark xiii. 21. And they shall say to you, See here, or see there: go not after them nor follow them. For as the lightning, that shineth out of the one part under heaven, shineth unto the other part under heaven; so shall also the Son of man be in his day, Luke xvii. 23, 24. And he said, Take heed that ye be not deceived: for many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and the time draweth near go ye not therefore after them, xxi. 8.

them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast which had the wound by a sword, and did live, Rev. xiii. 13, 14. And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone, xix. 20.

c For false Christs and false phets shall rise, and shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect, Mark xiii. 22. For Paul had determined to sail by Ephesus, because he would not spend the time in Asia: for he hasted, if it were possible for him, to be at Jerusalem the day of Pentecost, Acts xx. 16. If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men, Rom. xii. 18. Where is then the

blessedness ye spake of? for I bear you record, that, if it had been possible, ye would have plucked out your own eyes, and have given them to me, Gal. iv. 15.

d All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me, I will in no wise cast out, John vi. 37. And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand. I and my Father are one, x. 28-30. What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things? Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth, Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us. Who shall separate us from the love
