Matthew Poole and continuators on Ezekiel 2:4

4 For they are impudent children and stiffe hearted : I do send thee unto them, and thou shalt say unto them , Thus saith the LORD GOD.

Shameless, who cannot blush else they could never have transgressed so highly, constantly, and obstinately; Sodom in her day did not hide her sin, nor blush, so did the Jews in Isaiahs times, so they did to the dayes of their Captivity, and under the Captivity.

Hard hearted, resolute and strongly bent to do what ever liked them. Of disposition that relenteth not but rather more confidently going on in evil.

Who appeared in so much glory, and on the Throne.

Give thee Authority that thou mayest, and I give thee charge that thou must go to them, and say unto them, what I shall say unto thee. They will scoffe and persecute, but I command and remember whom thou hast seen, who is with thee.

Be sure to tell them who sends thee, read the Commission, T[illegible: 1 letter]us saith, &c.
