Isaiah29:13

13. Wherefore the LORD said, Forasmuch as this people draw near me with their mouth, and with their lips do honour me, but have removed their heart far from me , and their fear towards me is taught by the precept of men :

To wit, in acts of worship.

With outward Devotions, and the profession of Religion.

They do not pay Me that Love, and Fear, and Obedience, which I require, and prefer before all Sacrifices, and external Services.

They Worship Me not in such way and manner, as I have commanded and prescribed, but according to their own, and other Mens inventions, preferring the devices and traditions of▪ their false Prophets, before My Institutions. For this was a common Errour among the Iews, as we learn from Ier. 7. 31. Hos. 5. 11. and many other Scriptures, And thus our blessed Saviour expounds this very place, Mat. 15. 7, 8, 9.

Marginal references: Ezek. 33. 31. Mat. 15. 8. Mar. 7. 6.
