But if they were cast off by the Lord, 1yet such is the unconscionable beastliness of those graceless persons, that for their own filthy lust they would thus endanger them, as the loathsome practise of those unclean Locusts, the Popish Monks and Friars, both in this land and elsewhere hath abundantly witnessed to the world in former ages. See more in the first verse of this Chapter.

Jephthah having found ill dealing at their hands before, as we have heard, 1for that they were not lead by conscience and the fear of God, when they cast him out, but by partiality, used cruelty against him; he did not therefore trust them upon their word, but requireth an oath of God at their mouths, as may be gathered by their making God a witness of the promise which they made unto him, and so tieth them to a sure covenanting with him: For it had not otherwise been wisely provided for by him: and therefore when he went with the messengers to Mizpeh, he rehearsed these things there before the Lord, that so the promise which they made, might stand sure, God being desired to be the beholder and witness.
