Jeremiah2:20

Ver. 20. For of old time I have broken thy yoke] Or, For when of old I broke thy yoke &c. ſc. in Egypt, Pſal. 81.5, 6, 10. whilſt the deliverance was freſh, thou hadſt very good reſolutions.

And thou ſaidſt I will not tranſgreſs] Or, I will not ſerve, ſc. other Gods. Good words, hadſt thou been as good as thy word. But what followeth?

When upon every high hill and every green tree, &c.] No ſooner did her old heart and her old temptations meet, but they preſently fell into mutual embraces. When men have made good vows, let them be as careful to make good their vows unto the Lord, Pſal. 76.11.

Thou wandereſt playing the harlot] Thou runneſt a madding and a gadding after Idols, [non-Latin text not transcribed].
