Ezekiel23:8
Ver. 8. Neither left ſhe her idols brought from Egypt] Witneſſe her two golden calves brought therehence by Jeroboam, in imitation of Apis a calf dedicated by the Egyptians to Serapis their chief idol.
— Quis neſcit qualia demens Aegyptus portenta colat?Juvenal.
For in her youth] See on ver. 3.
And poured their whoredome upon her] This kind of language and the like is here and elſewhere uſed, not to teach men to ſpeak or do foul things, but the contrary. Of Petronius his Satyricon it is ſaid, Tolle obſcaena, & tollis omnia: and that he was impuriſſimus ſcriptor puriſſimae Latinitatis. Of our Prophet it may as truely be ſaid, Tolle ſancta & tollis omnia. See on ver. 2.
