Jeremiah16:10
Ver. 10. And they ſhall ſay unto thee, Wherefore?] This is ſtill the guiſe of hypocrites, to juſtifie themſelves, and quarrel the Preacher that reproveth them. See chap. 5.19.
What is our iniquity?] Nature ſheweth no ſin; it is no cauſeleſſe complaint of a grave Divine, that ſome deale with their ſouls as others do with their bodies: when their beauty is decayed, they deſire to hide it from themſelves by falſe glaſſes, and from others by painting: ſo their ſins from themſelves by falſe gloſſes, and from others by excuſes.
