Ezekiel33:26

26 Ye stand upon your sword, ye work abomination, and ye defile every one his neighbours wife, and shall ye possesse the land?

You trust to your Sword, and stand with it as 'twere drawn ready to kill and slay, you do all with violence, and force, not regarding what is right and equal and fear no restraints or punishments.

Idolatry, or other wickedness not to be named.

Adultery is so common among you, that 'tis no bold hyperbole to say, every one defiles his neighbours wife.

And can such sinners flatter themselves, that they shall inherit the Land promised to a holy and good Father, and to the like Seed? Will not the Land spew Jewish sinners out, as it did spew out such Canaanit[illegible: 1 letter]h sinners?
