3. God will not always suffer it. Prophet-hating is a deadly sin. It is said of Herod, Luke iii. 20, ' He added yet this above all, that he shut up John in prison.' So 2 Chron. xvi. 10, ' Then Asa was wroth with the seer, and jmt him in a prison-house ; for he was in a rage with him because of this thing.' Were these scriptures Avritten for our instruction, and yet are you guilty of prophet-hating, that seek, by sacrilegious violence to rob and deprive ministers of that which is their portion before God and men ? So Hosea iv. 4, ' This people are as they that strive with the priest.' Enter your protest against it, have no hand in this sin.
