Yea, though they have hired among the Nations.
Yea, though they have hyred among the Nations.
This God still takes ill that they should go to the Nations for help,1 when God had made their condition so much above the Nations, for in their going to them they did as it were say, that all the love and mercy, and protection from the great God it was no more towards them than the Nations had, they did (as it were) hold forth to the world that the Nations were rather in a better condition ⟨p. 59⟩than themselves, in that they would go to the Nations for their help; and this went very near to the heart of God, for God had laid out the very strength of his love, and the riches of his mercy upon this people, and after he had done so much for them yet that they (because they were in some little afflictions for the present, that they) should go to the Nations that did for the present prosper somewhat outwardly better than themselves Oh! this was exceeding grievous to the heart of God: and thence the Note is this.
