Ezekiel16:48

Ver. 48. As I live, ſaith the Lord God, Sodom thy ſiſter hath not done] Heb. If Sodom thy ſiſter hath done, &c. q. d. then let me never be truſted more. Here then is a double oath taken by God, to aſſure this people that they had outſinned Sodom: a truth that they would not eaſily aſſent to. To this day we cannot get men to believe that their natures are ſo naught, their lives ſo leud, their ſtate ſo dangerous as the Preachers make them. Their hearts are good, their penny good ſilver, &c. The Prophet Eſay loſt his life, ſay the Rabbines, for calling the Rulers of Jeruſalem, Rulers of Sodom, and the people of Judah, people of Gomorrah, Eſa. 1.10.
