Notwithstanding] Gods wrath may be so far provoked, as God unalterably setled to take vengeance, Chap. 24. v. 4. 1 Samuel 3:14. but though Josiah were truely pious, and rightly zealous, yet the people still doted after Manasseh’s idolatry, Jer. 3. 6, 10. justly therefore are Manasseh’s provocations remembred in this time of reformation.
provocations] Heb. angers.
