John Trapp on Isaiah 1:10

Ver. 10. Hear the Word of the Lord, ye Princes of Sodom] Having mentioned Sodom and Gomorrah, verſ 9. he maketh further uſe thereof, probroſa hac appellatione auditores ſuos conveniens: ſharping up his Hearers in this ſort, whom he knew he ſhould not wrong at all by ſo calling them; ſee Ezek. 16.46, 48. Non tam ovum ovo ſimile, Like they were, both Princes and people, to thoſe of Sodom and Gomorrah, 1. In their ingratitude toward God. 2. in their cruelty toward men. Our Prophet therefore is very bold (as Saint Paul alſo teſtifieth of him, Rom. 10.20.) fearing no colours, although for his boldneſs he loſt his life: if at leaſt that be true which Hierom out of the Rabbins telleth us,Hier. [illegible: 2 letters] Iſ▪ 1. viz. that this Prophet Iſay was ſawn aſunder. 1. Becauſe he ſaid he had ſeen the Lord, chap. 6.1. Secondly, Becauſe he called the great Ones of Judah Princes of Sodom, &c. giving them a Title agreeable to their wicked practiſes. The like liberty of ſpeech uſed Athanaſius toward Conſtantius, Agapetus toward Juſtinian, Johannes Sarisburienſis toward the Pope. &c.
