that, as I haue sayd, all the degrees and estates of that kingdome may bee held guiltie before God: and therefore there is here also contained a most euident confirmation and proofe of the accusa∣tion of the Israelites, the which was begun before, as in the former verses, to wit, 8. and 9. So then the Princes are accused of whore∣dome. And these are vnderstood questionles vnder the name of the house of Israel and Ephraim, as I haue sayd before cap. 5. ver. 1. But this whoredome is called an horrible matter, and a villanie, and no∣torious offence, to the end that in this place we should vnderstand not any kind of whoredome whatsoeuer to bee noted, but that the which of all other doth most greatly displease God. And that is i∣dolatrie, the which was first ordained and set vp by the Princes, by the King himselfe, and the Nobles of the kingdome of Israel, who were Ephraimites, and afterwards by the selfe same defended: af∣ter whose example the rest of the people committed whoredome afterwards, that is, worshipped idols, and polluted or defiled them∣selues before God. For such as are the Princes, sayth Plato, such the rest of the citizens are wont for to bee. The whole world frameth themselues after the example of the King. And therefore 1. King. 12 ver. 30. you shall finde, how easely the whole people were drawne vnto idolatrie, after that Ieroboam had once builded vp the Altars and golden Calues at Dan and Beth-el: For the people went (because of the one) of the calues, euen to Dan. And after this manner did the Princes of Israel sinne.
* 1.2The people also did afterwards pollute and defile themselues with the same idolatries and superstitions, vnto the which they saw their Princes to be giuen. And therefore it is added, Israel is defiled with whoredome, to wit, the which the Princes of this people of Ephraim did teach them. Wherefore now in this place, as I haue sayd before, I thinke the worde (Israel) to bee taken for the whole people. Therefore the sinnes, and especially the sinnes of idolatrie, excuse not the people before God.
