And both these are yet further aggravated from the Relation which Israel had to God, thy God; which relation is set forth
1. Positively. 2. Comparatively.
1. Positively, The relation of a spouse or wife; and that is implied in the sin, which is called whoredom: Whoredom or adultery, you know, is properly the sin against the marriage-relation. Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judg. 1Adultery is the defiling of the marriage-bed; and therefore some do etymon Adulterium, quasi ad alterum, the departure of the husband or wife into the bed and bosom of a stranger: Here, I say, is the conjugal relation into which God had taken Israel, implied, to the aggravation of her apostasy; whereby her sin came to be Whoredom and Adultery against the Lord.
