Vers. 13 Only they were to acknowledge their iniquity. For he that hideth his sin shall not prosper. And lest they might say, they were to seek how to frame their indictment against themselves: God, to prevent that excuse, frames it for them, putting the words (as it were) into their mouths; adding in the end, the cause of all: to wit, they refused to hear those wholesome instructions, which God tendered them out of his word. p. 64. 65. 66.

Vers. 14 But because poor sinners are not easily brought to believe, that God means as he speaks, when he offers them mercy: he exhorts them the second time, to return unto him upon ⟨image 169⟩this ground. viz. that sowsoever they had showed themselves as a disloyal wife towards him: yet he retained the affection of a loving husband towards them; and would be ready to accept them again into his favour, though but one out of a City, or but two out of a Tribe should come unto him. p. 168. 169. 170.
