And this also appeareth in the reason which she yieldeth of her apostasy, in the words following: that give me my bread and my water, my wool and my flax, mine oil and my drink. In which words is also contained the exceeding great unthankfulness of the people in ascribing all the benefits which they enjoyed unto their idols and false gods, whereas the Lord alone was the author and fountain of them. The which their sin was so much the more unexcusable, because in the Law the Lord had promised all these gifts unto them, to the end that they should expect them from him alone, & having received them, they should ascribe the whole praise unto him only of his own gifts: Levit. 26. 4, 5. Deut. 128. 2, 3, 4, 5, &c.
