This is made an evidence […] the estrangement of Gods heart from a people, and an immediate fore-runner of their ruin. Isa. 9. 13. 14. 17. For this people turneth not unto him that smote them, neither do they seek the Lord, therefore the Lord will cut off from Israel head & tail, branch & ush, one day therefore the Lord shall have no pity on their young men nor mercy on their fatherless, for every one is an Hypocrite. It takes away all pity in God, all hopes in themselves of any good.
