Ezekiel22:11

11 And one hath committed abomination with his neighbours wife; and an other hath lewdly defiled his daughter in law; and an other in thee hath humbled his sister, his fathers daughter.

i. e: Some, or the man of Quality, State, and such as were of high Degree, as the word is translated; Psal. 62.9. Or what if it were translated as ver. 6. every one, 'twas grown a most general vice, as Ier. 5.8.

Adultery, which God doth, and man should abhor.

Horrible shameless doings, the Father in law committing incest with the Wifes Daughter.

And Brothers defile their own sisters; all this against the light of Nature, the Law of civilized Nations, and the Law of God. And, if our conjecture be right, all this done in their lewd Idolatrous Feasts kept to the honour of Tammuz, and in the very Temple, or near to it, compare this with the 9th verse, and with chap. 8. ver. 14.
