John Trapp on Micah 2:10

Verſ. 10. Ariſe ye and depart] Veteres migrate coloni, make up your fardles and prepare for a deportation:Virg. here's no longer being for you, unleſſe ye were better. Behold the land is defiled; therefore I do viſit the iniquity thereof upon it, and the land it ſelf vomiteth out her inhabitants Lev. 18.25.

This is not your reſt] As you falſly fancy, and vainly vaunt: binding upon the promiſe, but not performing the condition. It is the guiſe of graceleſſe men to ſtuffe themſelves with promiſes, till they have made them a pillow for ſinne: Et ſic praſumendo ſperant, & ſperando pereunt, Byrn they preſume till they periſh, as he did who died with this deſperate ſaying in his mouth, Spes & fortuna Valete, Farewell life and hope together.

Becauſe it is polluted] ſc. by your ſinne, which is of ſo ſullying a nature, that it defileth alſo the very viſible heavens, which are therefore to be purged by the fire of the laſt day: like as thoſe veſſels that held the ſin-offering were either to be broken if earthen, or to paſſe the fire if of better mettal: they muſt not think to reſt that let ſin lie unrepented of in the conſcience. But as a man that hath uſed himſelf to drink poiſon, at the 1. & 2. time he may do wel, but the laſt it overcomes and deſtroyes himſelf: ſo the next ſin, though leſſe, may ſet all the former aworking. And as two poiſons met in the ſtomack make a man reſtleſſe; ſo ſin and wrath met in the conſcience, raiſe a great garboile there. Neither muſt they think to dwell in Gods good land, that will not live by Gods good laws, Eſa. 1.19. Pſ. 107.39, 40. they walk upon fireworks every moment ready to be blown up:Euſeb. de vit. Conſt. lib 5. brimſtone alſo is ſca[illegible: 2 letters]ered upon their habitations, that if the fire of Gods wrath do but lightly touch it, they are ſuddenly conſumed. Euſebius telleth us of Diocleſian, that bloody perſecutour of the Church, that giving over the Empire, he decreed to lead the reſt of his life quietly: but he eſcaped not ſo. For after that, his houſe was wholly conſumed with lightning, and a flame of fire that fell from heaven, he hiding himſelf for fear of the lightning died within a little after.

it ſhall deſtroy you even with a ſore deſtruction] Diſſipatione roboratâ, ſaith Calvin, Perditione praecisâ, ſaith Tremellius. The land longs for a vomit to ſpue you out, and it ſhall do it effectually. Poyſon given in wine works more furiouſly then in water. Woe be to that people or perſon whom God will deſtroy with a violent deſtruction. This he doth not willingly, or from his heart, Lam. 3.35. but mens ſinnes compel him to it. Surely as many a fowl is ſhot with an arrow feathered from her own boyd: and as of the blackbirds ſlime is made the lime whereby he is taken: ſo out of the dung of mens ſinnes doth God make his limetwigs (his judgements I mean) to take them withal. Long they might reſt, would they but let him reſt: but pollution is the forerunner of perdition.
