1Isaiah the 63. chapter; Wherefore hast thou made us to err, 2Lord? Which saying Jerome interpreteth of Gods loving kindness. God did not straightway punish their sins; wherefore they began to contemn his judgements: God did suggest this his mercy in them, which was good; but through their fault, it was drawn to contempt. They may also be the words of the wicked, which cast upon God the cause of their sins. Or else the godly, when they think themselves, by the just judgement of God, to be forsaken of his grace; and afterward, they acknowledging their sins, speak after such a sort: doubtless not in blaming of God, but in marvelling at his judgements. But howsoever thou understand it, God is exempted from the fault. 3It is written in the fourth of Jeremiah; Thou, 4ô Lord, hast seduced thy people. Jerome answereth, saying; Those things, which were now spoken, seemed unto the prophet to be repugnant to the other words, which were spoken in the third chapter before: where God declared unto him, 5that Jerusalem should be called the seat of God, and that all the heathen should flock about it. But now God said, that The hart of the king, & of the princes should quail, the priests and people should be astonished: and therefore the prophet cried; Thou saidst, we shall have peace, but behold the sword. But the times (saith Jerome) must be distinguished; for those things, which were first spoken, were to be fulfilled after the captivity of Babylon: and that calamity, which was showed of afterward, was even at the doors.
1Esaie the 63. chapter; Wherefore hast thou made vs to erre, 2Lord? Which saieng Ierom interpreteth of Gods louing kindnes. God did not straitwaie punish their sinnes; wherefore they began to contemne his iudgements: God did suggest this his mercie in them, which was good; but through their fault, it was drawne to contempt. They may also be the words of the wicked, which cast vpon God the cause of their sinnes. Or else the godlie, when they thinke themselues, by the iust iudgement of God, to be forsaken of his grace; and afterward, they acknowledging their sinnes, speake after such a sort: doubtles not in blaming of God, but in maruelling at his iudgements. But howsoeuer thou vnderstand it, God is exempted from the fault.
