Isaiah28:14
Ver. 14. Wherefore hear the word of the Lord] Stand forth and hear your doom, ye that jear when you ſhould fear, as if ye were out of the reach of Gods rod.
Ye ſcornful men] Heb. ye men of mockage, ye who mock at the word of God by your words, deeds and geſtures; quales ſycophantas quotidie videmus, of which ſort we find not a few now a dayes; ſuch duſt-heaps as theſe we have in every corner, men that have turned religion not only into a form but alſo into a ſcorn, accounting the wiſdom of God fooliſhneſs. [non-Latin text not transcribed] Theſe Saint Peter calleth ſcoffers, or ſuch as make ſport with the word, 2 Pet. 3.3. And the Prophet here uno verbo multa peccata exprimit, dum Illuſores nominat, in calling them mockers, calleth them all that naught is.
That rule the people] ſuch as Shebna now was, and afterwards Tobiah, Neh. 2.19. Herod, Domitian, Julian, Sr. Thomas Moor, &c.
