Verſe 15. So ſhall Bethel do unto you,] i. e. the idolatry that you have committed at Bethel, by a Synechdoche of the place, this ſhall undo you. Or, So ſhall he do unto you, O inhabitants of Bethel. Bethel ſhall be made a Betharbel. They that take not example by others, ſhall be made an example to others. Lege hiſtoriam, ne ſias hiſtoria[illegible: 1 letter]

Accidit in puncto, quod non ſperatur in an[illegible: 2 letters]. Contrarily, the Saints at evening-time have light, Zech. 14.7. See the Note there.
