2. Because Abraham could not have been ignorant of certain examples of that divine dispensation which God had set before the eyes of all—first in the general flood, then in the overthrow of Sodom, third in Abimelech's household—all of which we produced above in their place. PLAC. But this is not to untie the knot, but to cut it. What if in Ezek. 21 by 'the just' is meant one who seems just to himself or to others, as it pleases some interpreters? What if 'just' is understood by comparison with others more wicked?—according to that word of Mic. 7:4: the best of them is like a thorn; the most upright is worse than a thorn-hedge.

Latin

2. Quia eius divinae dispensationis exempla quaedam Abrahamus ignorare non poterat, quae Deus omnium oculis obiecerat, primo in diluvio generali, deinde in Sodomorum subversione, tertio in Abimelechi familia, quae omnia supra suo loco produximus. PLAC. Hoc vero non est nodum solvere, sed secare. Quid si Ezech. 21 per justum intelligitur is, qui sibi, aut aliis, justus videtur, ut quibusdam placet interpretibus? Quid si justus intelligitur per comparationem cum aliis nequioribus? juxta illud Mich. 7: 4. optimus eorum est similis spinae; rectissimus prae pineto est.
