Now after these conditions required of God is set forth the transgression of the Israelites. But ye (saith he) have not hearkened unto my voice. The Jews were not yet fallen so far that they committed Idolatry, they are only reproved for violating the covenant, because they had saved the Idols and altars of the Canaanites. The wonderful goodness of God surely is showed by these words: Why have ye this done? 1He demandeth the cause as being ready to hear their excuse, if they could bring any that were just and lawful. And by this means also the grievousness of the sin is amplified, as being so grievous that it could by colour be defended. And undoubtedly thus it is.2
