How shall I give thee up, Ephraim? Ephraim was a Revolter from God, a man that had given himself up to Devilism: A company of men, the ten Tribes, that worshipped Devils, while Judah kept with his God. But how shall I give thee up, Ephraim? How shall I deliver thee Israel? How shall I make thee as Admah? How shall I set thee […] Zeboim? (and yet thou art worse than they: nor has Samaria committed half thy sins, Ezek. 16.46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51.) My heart is turned within me, and my repentings ⟨p. 27⟩are kindled together, Hos. 11.8.
