So here in the same sense these make no bones at all to call God, their God; albeit they had even at this instant forsaken him; as was said yesterday. For this so gross and graceless §1an impiety reigned amongst them, that they esteemed §2all things to be governed by blind fortune, and and chance; and that God never punished them justly. Albeit then, by their disloyalty they had forsaken God, yet the Prophet, the better to discover their pride and rebellion, brings themselves in, speaking here; as if God had been much obliged unto them.

Thou shalt say unto them (saith he) One while God speaks to the people, and another while to the Prophet. When they then shall begin to murmur after this manner; thou shalt answer, because you have forsaken me. Now that the Prophets words might have the greater weight, God bids him speak unto them, as in his own person: because then you have forsaken me; as if Jeremiah spake not, but God by bis mouth.
