- 1Expos.
First,1 The Prophets constancy. They forsook God generally, the ten Tribes generally went away and forsook God, but the Prophet still keeps close to God.
- 1Note.
Let all the world do what they will and forsake God and seek other comforts where they will, 1but still (saith a faithful soul) God shall be my God. Hosea he lived in wicked times, generally all the ten Tribes went away from God, but still my God, my soul shall keep close to God, I have chosen the LORD to be mine, and I have found that Soul-satisfying good in Him, that he shall be mine for ever, here will I rest for ever; I have chosen the way of Gods true Worship, I will not suit my self with the common way of Worship where I live, but I will choose God to be my God whatsoever the world doth.
