195. Chapter 12 [Hosea] 1 (H.B. 2) Falsities grow by reasonings originating in the delights of the natural man. 2 2-5 (H.B. 3-6) The Lord strove with the posterity of Jacob from their infancy. 2 6, 7 (H.B. 7, 8) Exhortation to be converted and not falsify truths. 2 8-14 (H.B. 9-15) The church gloried in its possession of the Word, and on account of their representative worship, and they were continually guarded by the Lord; and yet they falsified and adulterated the Word and the worship. 2
