1There are four things that principally cause shame.
- 1Causes of shame.
First, Disrespect from those we desire honour from, that is shame: When one comes to any, to a superior, and expects respect from him, and finds that he is cast out, this is a great shame. So they shall be ashamed of their sacrifices, they make account that I should honour their sacrifices, that they should have honour from me by reason of their sacrifices, but I will cast shame upon them, they shall have nothing but arguments of disrespect from me. In 1 King. 2.16. when Bathsheba came to Solomon to ask a Petition of him, deny me not saith she; the old ⟨p. 327⟩Latin hath it, Ne confundas faciem meam: do not confound my face, do not make me ashamed, & the Hebrew is, Ne avertere faciem meam, do not cause my face to be turned, that is, do not make me ashamed by giving me such disrespect when I expect such honour from thee. When God doth cast off the sacrifices of men and shows disrespect unto them, that causeth shame, it doth confound or should confound their faces.
