The second sin branded with whoredom in Scripture is,1 the refusing and opposing of Reformation: When I would have healed Israel, then the iniquity of Ephraim was discovered, and the wickedness of Samaria: i. e. In a time of reformation they were worse then ever. What are they called for this? See vers. 4. They are all adulterers, &c. Idolatry is whoredom, in as much as it is a turning away from God: and opposition to reformation is whoredom, because it is a refusing to return to God: They will not frame their doings, or (as the Hebrew may be rendered) their doings will not suffer them to return to their God: 2i. e. Reformation was not consistent with the designs they drave, it was not compatible with their lusts and private interests: What follows? The spirit of whoredoms is in the midst of them.
