Jeremiah2:26
Ver. 26. As the thief is aſhamed when he is found] As uſually he is at length, notwithſtanding all his ſlights and wiles. That was a cunning thief indeed of whom Dio writeth in the life of Severus: Bulas he calleth him, an Italian, who having gotten together ſix hundered ſuch as himſelf, robbed many in Italy under the Emperours noſe for two years together: and although he was diligently ſought for by the Emperour and his Armies, yet he could not be caught: Viſus enim non videbatur, non inveniebatur inventus, deprehenſus non capiebatur, ſaith the Hiſtorian: he was too hard for them all.
So is the houſe of Iſrael aſhamed] They are, or ought to be ſo: but —Nihil eſt audacius illis Deprenſis: vires animoſque à crimine ſumunt.
