Ezekiel20:25

Ver. 25. Wherefore I gave them alſo ſtatutes that were not good] i. e. I gave them up to their own inventions and hearts luſts, (which was worſe then to be delivered up to Satan) becauſe they were ingrati gratiae Dei, as Ambroſe hath it, they received the grace of God in vain. By ſtatutes not good ſome underſtand the Ceremonial laws, which commanded neither virtue nor vice in themſelves: Others, ſuch decrees and ordinances of God in the wilderneſſe as were not good for them, but hurtful; as that for the execution of the calf-worſhippers, of the Baal-peorites, of Korah and his company, of the murmurers at Kibroth hattaavah, &c. Solon being asked Whether he had given the beſt laws to the Athenians? anſwered, The beſt that they could bear.
