The fourth and last part of the Text, is the true Use we are to 1make of Gods mercies, contained in these words, Be ashamed and ⟨p. 22⟩confounded for your own ways O house of Israel. The words in the Hebrew are both of the same signification; be ashamed and ashamed. Erubescite & rubore afficiamini, So Junius: blush for shame, and be confounded with shame, for your own ways, that is, for your own evil ways, and for your doings that are not good (as it is expounded in the former verse) O house of Israel. Give me leave to alter the persons, and in stead of the House of Israel to put in the house of England, and so it will suit most excellently to this Assembly here gathered together this day. For the House of Commons is the house of England representatively. Let us then read the words thus: Be ashamed and ashamed, for your own evil ways, O you house of England.
