you rather have played the part of a disloyal wife, having prostituted your selves to the first comers; yet am I ready notwithstanding to receive you into favour, and to forget all your former slips and falls. Now we have the sum of that which the Prophet meant to ⟨p. 141⟩say here. And in this second member there is a comparison from the less to the greater. For the agreement would be more easily effected, if the wife having been rejected by her husband, should afterward come to please him, and recover his favour, albeit she had married another: but when an adulterous wife finds her husband so willing and ready to pardon her; it is a very rare example, and hardly shall it be discerned in any one. We see then, how our Lord magnifies his mercy towards this people, by an argument taken from the less to the greater: which he the rather doth, that the Jews might be so much the more without excuse, in that they had so obstinately rejected so great a favour which God freely offered them.
