Corrupted themselves! you will say, who is not corrupted? who is not without sin? O but were it but only some human frailty, were not so much; but they have so corrupte• ⟨p. 5⟩themselves, that Their spot is not the spot of my Children; It is beyond that could have been expected; for those that had so near a Relation to God as this people had! they are bespotted and defiled with their sin, and so, as this spot of theirs is not the spot of his Children. Thus you have the scope of the words, and how they came in.
