Their 1flocks and their herds.] Mark, They make use of their own, according to their own mind, in their own ways, to worship me as they list, and therefore God doth not call them His, doth not own them as His, but he calls them their flocks and their herds; What they do saith God, what they offer, it is their own, their flocks and their herds, I will not own them.

This is a sad thing.
