^{1 a} The Lord thus speaketh to the Prophet, willing him to vse all diligence & seueritie to rebuke the hypocrites.

^{2 b} They wil sime to worship me and haue outward holines.

^{2 !} The workes of the hypocrites.

^{3 c} He setteth forthe the malice and disdaine of the hypocreies, which grudge against God, if their workes be not accepted.

^{3 d} Thus he conuinceth the hypocrites by the seconde table & by their duetie toward their neighbour that thei haue nether faith nor religion.

^{4 e} So long as you vse countemnion & oppression, your fasting & praier shal not be heard.

^{6 f} That you leaue of all your extorsions.

^{6 !} The fast of the faithful.

^{7 g} For in him thou seest thy self as in a glasse.

^{8 h} That is, the prosperous estate, wherewtih God wil blesse thee.

^{8 i} The testimonie of thy goodnes shal appeare before God & man.

^{9 k} Whereby is ment all maner of injurie.

^{10 l} That is, haue compassion on their miseries.

^{10 m} Thine aduersitie shalbe turned into prosperitie.

^{12 n} Signifying that of the Jewes shulde come suche, as shuld buylde againe the ruines of Jerusalem & Judea: but chiefly this is ment of the spiritual Jerusalem: whose buylders were the Apostles.

^{13 o} If thou resfaine thy self from thy wicked workes.

^{13 !} Of the true Sabbath.
