Ezekiel14:3

Ver. 3. Theſe men have ſet their Idols in their hearts] Though they would ſeem to abhor idols, yet the devil is at inne with them, and their hearts are no beter then ſo many Idol-temples, as thou wouldeſt eaſily perceive, hadſt thou but my fiery eyes, and couldeſt ſee their inſides, as I do.Piſcat. Suſtulerunt ſtercoreos deos ſuos ſuper cor ſuum, they have laid their dungy-deities upon their very hearts; a place where I only ſhould be by right, for it is the bridal-bed.

And put the ſtumbling-block of their iniquity] i. e. They are impudent ſinners, as the Scholiaſt interprets it, and reſolved of their courſe, whatever comes of it.Hoc ſignificat craſſum Dei contemptum & quali profeſſam rebellionem.

Should I be enquired of at all by them?] q. d. No, never; I ſcorn the motion, I abhor ſuch ludibrious devotion as this is: Away with it. Piſcator rendereth the words, An ergò ſeriò interrogor ab eis? Thinkeſt thou that I am ſeriouſly ſought unto by theſe? q. d. Nothing leſſe.
