1. That Gods worship among them was generally mixed and corrupted with their own inventions, for so it is said, Psal. 106. 40, 41. they went a whoring with their own inventions. And this so inflamed the wrath of God, who is a jealous God, and tender over his own honour, that he abhorred his own inheritance; yea, he expresses himself as a man doth whose heart is broken by the unfaithfulness of his wife, Ezek. 6. 9. Upon this account his professing people became the generation of his wrath, Jer. 7. 29, 30.

This presages the ruin of Nations indeed.
