I have put off my coat; how shall I put it on? I have washed my feet; how shall I defile them?
If this verse affords as that it doth indeed afford, an awful example to what a degree of baseness and ingratitude our nature is capable of falling; it will serve at the same time to manifest the wonderful patience, and love, and forbearance of our Lord. What a beautiful representation of both is given by the Prophet. Hosea, Hosea 11:7-9.
