Isaiah1:14
Ver. 14. Your New Moons] Theſe were commanded to be kept to mind them of Gods gubernation of all things, as from whom come all alterations and changes; and ſo to teach them to rely on his providence at all times and turns. This they thought not on, and are therefore turn'd off with contempt.
Your appointed Feaſts] Or rather your ſet-meetings, whether for Feaſts or Faſts.
My ſoul hateth] Not all his ſences only were offended, but his very ſoul alſo, which is an Emphatical ſpeech, and an argument of his hearty deteſtation. Hypocriſie is hatefull to men, much more to the holy God. When Bernardine Ochin offered the Cardinal of Lorrain his ſervice in writing againſt the Proteſtants, he ſleighted him with greateſt ſcorn, becauſe he knew he had diſſembled and plaid the Hypocrite. The other Papiſts ſhould have dealt in like ſort with Bolſecus, that twice-baniſhed and thrice-runnagate Fryar and Phyſitian, whom they baſely hired to write the lives of Calvin and Beza, alledging him in all their writings as Canonical.
They are a trouble unto me] or a burthen, a combrance, God, though he be not weary of bearing up the whole world, yet under this burden he buckles as it were, and elſwhere complains, that he is preſſed under it as a cart is preſſed that is full of ſheaves, Amos 2.13.
