Isaiah32:6
Ver. 6. For the vile perſon will ſpeak villany] Why then ſhould he be advanced to great places? why ſhould he be ſmoothed and ſoothed up with high titles? The adverſary and the enemy is this wicked Haman, ſaid Eſther, chap. 7.6. Before, ſome had ſtiled him Noble, others Great, and ſome perhaps Vertuous; only Eſther giveth him his own: Peſſimus iſte, That moſt wicked Haman: ſo, Go tell that fox, ſaith our Saviour; and God ſhall ſmite thee thou whited wall, ſaith St. Paul to Ananias, &c. Nomina rebus conſentanta imponentur] a ſpade ſhall be called a ſpade, Bernard. a fool a fool; there ſhall not be nomen inant, crimen immane, ſedes prima & vita ima, ingens authoritas & nutans ſtabilitas, &c.
And his heart will work iniquity] Exegefis flagitioſi, the true portraiture of an evil Magiſtrate: Judex locuſta civitatis eſt malus. Scalig.
