Isaiah5:10

Ver. 10. Yea, ten acres of Vineyard ſhall yeeld one Bath] viz of wine; a poor proportion; not a gallon of wine, for an acre of ground planted with vines.

And the ſeed of an homer ſhall yeild an Ephah] and no more: the earth ſhall yeild but the tenth part of what was fown; ſo little joy ſhall you have either of your enlarged houſes, or fields laid to fields, by evil arts. Et ſignanter decem ponit jugera, ſaith Oecolampadius here: neither is it for nothing that the Prophet ſaith ten acres of Vineyard, &c. and that they ſhall have but the tyth of their ſeed again: to teach them how angry God is with ſuch, as thorough covetouſneſs refuſe to pay their tythes duely, and truly, &c.
