Ver. 9. In mine ears ſaid the Lord of hoſts] Or, in the ears of the Lord of hoſts: q. d. God well heareth and knoweth all your cunning contrivances, your coloured and cloaked covetouſneſs as it is called, 1 Theſſ. 2.5. 2 Pet. 2.3. The cryes alſo of thoſe poor whom you have by fraud or force unrooſted, and undone, is come into Gods ears, Deut. 15.9. and 24.15. and he will reckon with you: though by your greatneſs you can bear out your wrong dealing, becauſe it is — facinus majoris abollae.

Of a truth many houſes ſhall be deſolate] You ſhall be driven out of your great and fair houſes, aut à milite, aut à morte, either by the enemy, or by Death, who ſhall come upon you with a firmae ejectione, and then the place of your habitation ſhall know you no more: a poor fool God will make of you, Jer. 17.11. Luk. 12.20. If many houſes be not deſolate, never truſt him more: if they be not left for Cadowes and Jack-dawes to dwell in.
