See how God pleads with Apostatizing Israel, Jer. 2. 9, 10, &c. Wherefore I will yet plead with you, saith the Lord. Pass ye over to the Isles of Chittim, and see, and send unto Kedar, and diligently consider, if there be any such thing? Hath any Nation changed their gods, which yet are no gods? ⟨p. 141⟩But my people have changed their glory for that which doth not profit! Be astonished O ye Heavens at this, and be horribly afraid, be ye very desolate, saith the Lord; for my people have committed two great evils; they have forsaken me the fountain of living waters, and have hewen out unto themselves broken cisterns, that can hold no water: And hence follows, v. 15. The young lions roared and yelled upon him, and laid his land waste; his Cities are burnt without inhabitant: and v. 17. Thou hast procured these things unto thy self, because thou hast forsaken the Lord thy God: and v. 19. Thy own wickedness shall correct thee, and thy back-slidings shall reprove thee; know therefore and see that it is an evil thing and bitter, that thou hast forsaken the Lord thy God, and that my fear is not in thee, saith the Lord God of hosts. And may not God thus plead with the Apostates of London, and punish them as he did his people of Israel?
