Jeremiah5:12

Ver. 12. They have belyed the Lord] Or, They give the Lord the lye, (as Montfort Earle of Leceſter gave his Soveraign Henry 3. the lye) Every unbeleever doth as much,Daniels hiſt. 172. Oecolamp. upon the matter, 1 Joh. 5.10. See the Note there, Nam etiamſi non ſemper ore obloquitur, factis tamen obluctatur.

And ſaid It is not he] ſc. That ſpeaketh, but the Prophets ſpeak their own dreams and fancies. Or, as ſome render the text, He is not: there is no God to reward us if we do well, or to puniſh us, if we do worſe. See my Common-place of Atheiſme.
