Israel 1is not hid from me] That is, the people, they pretend that they do but as they are taught, and they do but submit unto authority, they could be glad indeed if things were better, but some things m••• be yielded unto for peace-sake. It is true, these Prophets and some others are good honest men, and they would have us to do otherwise, but things are not clear yet, we cannot see but we may do this and this in case of necessity; that way they would have us go may bring us a great deal of trouble; Indeed what they say, seems to be like that which is in the Scripture, but then these and these inconveniences will follow; we should be glad if things were better reformed according to the Word, but for peace-sake we must be contented to yield to the judgment of such and such learned and wise men; and though we yield to these and these things yet our hearts are right for God. But saith God, Israel is not hid from me.
