Quae cum ita sint , quis arbitraretur , Deum immortalem suae haereditatis unquam obliturum , suam gentem , suam ecclesiam deserturum ? Nam cum olim finitimi Israëlitarum populi urbes ma jorum nostrorum ab hostibus solo exaequatas , templum direptum atque incensum , reliquias populi a Chaldaeis in servitutem abductas viderent , su perba verborum contumelia Israëlem a Deo rejectum criminabantur . Sed Deus apud Hieremiam omni asseveratione confirmat , ratos coelestium orbium cursus ac rapidas siderum conversiones ante conquieturas , quam Is raëlitarum obliviscatur . [ . . . ] Ex quo efficitur , nec Ismaëlitas , nec Christianos religionem certam , quam sequantur , ullam habere , multo minus ecclesiam certam in tanta varietate .
Since
these
things
a
re
true
,
who
could
think
that
immortal
God
would
ever
be
unmindful
of
His
people
,
His
flocks
,
His
inheritance
and
desert
His
own
tribe
,
His
own
church
?
When
long
ago
the
neighbors
of
the
Israelites
saw
the
cities
of
our
elders
leveled
to
the
ground
by
the
enemy
,
the
temple
plundered
and
burned
,
a
nd
the
remnants
of
the
people
led
into
slavery
by
the
Chaldeans
,
they
charged
with
haughty
reproach
that
Israel
had
been
rejected
by
God
.
Yet
God
confirms
to
Jeremiah
with
every
assurance
that
the
fixed
courses
of
the
heavenly
orbs
and
the
swift
revolutions
of
the
stars
would
stop
before
He
would
forget
Israel
.

It is clear from this that neither the Ismaelites nor Christians have any established religion which they follow , much less an established church amidst such variety .
