Psalms44:20

Verſ. 20. If we have for got ten the name of our God] i.e. forgone our Religion, as Renegadoes, denying the Lord that bought us. In the time of the Maccabees, many revolted to Paganiſm; Daemas forſaking Paul, became an Idolatrous Prieſt at Theſſalonica, ſaith Dorotheus; Julian turned Pagan; Damaſcen Mahometan, as ſome write; Harding an obſtinate Papiſt. In the Palatinate, when, not forty years ſince, taken by the Spaniard, ſcarce one man in twenty ſtood out, but fell to Popery, as faſt as leaves fall in Autumn.

Or ſtretched out our bands to a ſtrange God] This, Ignatius, Laurentius, and thouſands of thoſe Primitive Chriſtians would dye, rather than be drawn to do. So the three Children, the ſeven Brethren, &c. Origen, for yeelding a little, was excommunicated.
