1. A Nation or Kingdom in external Covenant with God stands in a conjugal relation unto God. 2. A people thus related unto God may (possibly) go a whoring from him, commit adultery against him. 3. Sometimes it comes to pass that Gods Israel whilst she lieth under the guilt of whorish departure from her God, in stead of being affected with, and afflicted for her whoredom; in stead of mourning, and judging her self before the Lord, doth securely and sinfully let out her heart to carnal comfort and rejoicing. 4. An Israel, under adulterous departures from God, hath least cause to rejoice; and more cause to mourn and lament then any nation or people under heaven.
