Jeremiah30:14

Ver. 14. All thy lovers have forgotten thee] Thy ſweet-hearts, thine Idols, thy carnal friends, thy Prieſts, Prophets, riches, pleaſures, all theſe have given thee the bag as we ſay; they ſtand aloof from thy help.

They ſeek thee not] Sink thou mayſt, or ſwim, for them: thou art no part of their care.

For I have wounded thee with the wound of an enemy] As if I cared not where I hit thee, or how much I hurt thee.

Crudelem medicum intemperans aeger facit. With the chaſtiſement of a cruel one] So it may ſeem, and ſo Job thought, chap. 30.21. but that was his errour. See here what a paſſe a Saint may be at; and how deeply he may ſuffer, when his ſins are increaſed. God, out of love diſpleaſed, may lay upon him and not ſpare, leave bloody wailes on his back, &c.

For the multitude of thine iniquities] Becauſe thy ſins are many and mighty, or hony: See Am. 5.12. with the Note.
