For their mother hath played the harlot.
Their mother, that is, the State and the Church, for they were both involved in one, hath played the harlot. This [For] hath reference two ways; either it may have reference to those words, I will not have mercy upon them, for not only they are, but their mother is defiled with whoredoms, she hath played the harlot: or secondly, it hath reference only to the latter part, they are the children of whoredoms, for their mother hath played the harlot: either it referreth to the reason why God will not have mercy upon them, because their mother hath played the harlot: or secondly to the reason why they are the children of whoredoms, for their mother hath played the harlot. And from both these references we have very useful observations for us.
