Jeremiah2:33
Ver. 33. Why trimmest thou thy way to ſeek love?] Cur bonificas? So Calvin rendereth it, why doſt thou make good thy way? that is, ſet a good gloſſe upon it, even the beſt ſide outwards. The ſame word is uſed of Jeſabels dreſſing her head, 2 King. 9.30. What need this whoriſh tricking and trimming, if all were right with thee?
Jactas vaenales, quas vis oberudere, merces.
Therefore alſo haſt thou taught the wicked ones thy way] Heb. the wicked women (for the word is feminine) thoſe ſhe-ſinners may learn immodeſty of thee, who are meretriciſſimae. And for this it is that thou art pointed at with the finger as it were, verſ. 34, 35.
