Ezekiel8:14

Ver. 14. And behold there ſat women] Theſe were Preiſts of Iſis, whoſe impious and moſt impudent kind of worſhip is largely deſcribed by Herodotus, Diodorus Siculus, Plutarch, and Euſebius: as celebrated with very unſeemly ceremonies, worſe if it might be, then thoſe of Priapus. But who would ever have looked for ſuch immodeſt doings among Gods profeſſed people? See 1 Cor. 5.1.

Weeping for Tammuz] i. e. For Oſiris King of Egypt, and idolatrouſly adoring his image, which his wife Iſis had advanced.
