Ezekiel2:4

Ver. 4. For they are impudent children] Heb. hard of face. Sin hath oaded ſuch an impudency in their faces that they can bluſh no more then a a ſack-but. Os tuum ferreum, ſaith Cicero to Piſo, that brazen face of thine: and Durus hic vultus lachrymare neſcit, Thou canſt not bluſh, much leſſe bleed for thine offences, ſaith Seneca to one.

And ſtiff-hearted] Duri-cordes, incurvi cervicati, quoſque citius fregeris quàm flexeris, ſuch as will ſooner break then bend. Many of our hearers, alaſſe, are no better. We do even waſh a tile-ſheard, draw water with a ſeive, &c. Bern.

I do ſend thee unto them] About hard ſervice: ſed curam exegerit non curationem, it is the care and not the cure of the charge, that is charged upon thee.

Thou ſhall ſay unto them] Proficiſcere, & Prophetato. Thou ſhalt be as my mouth, Jer. 15.19.
