forsaken my house, I have left mine heritage, I have given the dearly beloved of my soule into the hands of her enimies Jer. 12, 7. the Prophet had a little before spoken of their Hypocrisie towards God, viz. vers. 2. (as well as towards himselfe vers. 6.) and therefore that sin* 1.1 is to be thought the main cause at least, why this punishment was threatned.
I have taken away my peace from this peo∣ple, saith the Lord, even loving kindnesse, and mercies, Jer. 16, 5. my peace. so that I will be their enemy. if it had beene but their peace, that is, peace among themselves, or with men: or, their prosperity: it had not, deserv'd the name of a threat in compari∣son of this. loving kindnesse and mercyes: or goodnesse, and bowels (or pity) so the o∣riginall 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉. as proper ex∣pression of desertion and anger, as may be: if God had remov'd onely 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 his good∣nesse, * 1.2 or beneficence, by not doing them good; yea if he had afflicted them with never so great judgments: yet if he had retain'd his bowels,* 1.3 to pity them in their misery, (and such mercy is properly meant by 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 bowels) their conditiō had been hopefull.

whom the former threat was de∣nounced c. 18, 17. And both these threats were for the same sinne viz: Idolatry; as you may see verse the 15 of this chapter and chap. 16, 11.
In Hosea also, you have the like threat of Desertion, and for the same sinne: For the wickednesse of their doings I will drive them out of my house▪ I will love them no more. ch. 9, 15. now this wickednesse was Idolatry; as is to be seen by those wordes in the same verse, All their wickednesse is in Gilgal (as if their other wickednesse were no wic∣kednesse compared with Idolatry which they committed in Gilgal c. 12, 11.)
I will forsake them, I will▪ hide my face from them Deut: 31, 17; for the same sinne, verse 16.
