They went to BAAL-PEOR.
God complains of this people as a Husband of an Adultress: Though I delighted in her, and loved her, though she had all the content she could desire, yet she goes and forsakes me, and gives up her self to a filthy unclean Whoremaster: God takes it exceeding ill that he loses his love. And I beseech you observe: There's nothing goes nearer to an ingenious heart, than the loss of Love; he had rather lose his Money than his Love (such an one hath requited me il for my love:) this (I say) goes to the heart of a man, and there's nothing more grieves him than that he finds his love is ill bestowed. So certainly it goes to the heart of God that his Love should be ill bestowed upon people.
