Ezekiel18:2

Ver. 2. What mean you] Or, What's come to you? (qua vos dementia cepit?) that you do ſo toſſe this ſinful and ſenſeleſſe Proverb amongſt you both at Jeruſalem, Jer. 31.29. and alſo here at Babylon.

— delicta parentum Immeritus Judaee luis?

Muſt I be blaſphemed rather then you faulted? Is it for your fathers ſins only that ye ſuffer? and do ye thus think to put off the reproofs of the Prophets, as if your ſelves had not ſeconded and out-ſinned your Fathers, and are therefore juſtly puniſhed?

The fathers have eaten ſour grapes] Sin is no better: it is an evil and a bitter thing to forſake the Lord, Jer. 2. what wild ſour grapes your fathers both bred and fed upon, ſee Iſa. 5.2, 8, 11, 20, 21, 22, &c. and it was woe woe unto them.

And the childrens teeth are ſet on edge] Or, ſtupified. But is there not a cauſe? and are there not ſins enough with you, even with you to procure your ruth and your ruine; but that I muſt be injurious rather, then you be found obnoxious?
