4. When they come Inordinately, with base, low, 4carnal and self-ish ends, as those Sechemites did in the Gen. 34. v. 22, 23. who were persuaded to be circumcised (which was the *sign and scale of the Covenant of God with his people) upon carnal hopes and expectations of increasing their substance, and enriching themselves by this means. Vers. 22. Only herein will the men consent unto us, for to dwell with us to be one people. If every Male among us be circumcised as they are circumcised. Vers. 23. Shall not their Cattle and their substance, and every Beast of theirs be ours. This God reproves in his own people, Ezek. 33.31. With their mouth they show much love, but their heart goeth after their covetousness.
