Jeremiah7:24
Ver. 24. But they hearkened not nor inclined] So croſſe-grained they were, and thwart from the very firſt.
In the imagination of their evil heart] In ſententia animi ſui peſſimi, Trem. Heb. aspectu cordis, ut Deut. 19.9.
They went backward, and not forward] As Crabfiſh do, as viſe Apoſtates, in pejus proficiunt grow every day worſe then other, being not only averſe but adverſe to any good, they dayly grow worſe and worſe, deceiving and being deceived, ſeipſit indies facti deteriores. Iſlebius firſt became an Antinomian (and the Father of that Sect) and then a Papiſt, and laſtly Atheiſt and Epicure, as Oſiander teſtifieth. Whileſt he was an Antinomian only, Cent. 16. pag. 802. he many times promiſed amendment (being convinced of his errour) but performed it not. After that, he condemned his errour and recanted it in a publike auditory, and printed his Recantation: yet when Luther was dead, he not only licked up his former vomit, but fell to worſe, as aforeſaid.
