John Trapp on Ezra 6:12

Verſe 12. And the God that hath cauſed his name] i. e. his Word and true worſhip, Acts 9.15. Pſal. 138.2. Mic. 4.5. 1 Kings 5.3, 5.

Deſtroy all Kings and people] A dreadful curſe, and ſuch as God ſaith Amen to. Let all perſecutors, and Church-robbers look to themſelves. Gods hand hath ever beene very heavie upon ſuch and their poſterity. See Prov. 20.25. with the Note.

Let it be done with ſpeed] It hath beene too much retarded and delayed already: Let it now be expedited. David made haſte and delayed not to keep Gods Commandments, Pſal. 119.60. And Auſtin crieth out, Nimis ſerò te amavi Domine. It was a great burden to his good ſoul, that he began no ſooner to love God. He reſolveth therefore to redeeme time, and to redouble his diligence; not leaving till his ſoul was turned into a lump of love. Morus noviſſimè omnium germinat; & tamen parit inter primas. The Mulberry-tree buds laſt, but fruits with the firſt.
