John Trapp on Nehemiah 6:14

Verſe 14. My God, think upon Tobiah and Sanballat] Heb. Remember, to be revenged on them q.d. I cannot deal with them, but do thou do it. He doth himſelf no diſſervice (ſaith one) who when no Law will relieve him, maketh God his Chancellour. It is a fearful thing to be put over into his puniſhing hands by the Saints, as Joab and Shimei were unto Solomons hands by dying David. If men, in their beſt eſtate, are ſo weak that they are cruſhed before the moth, how ſhall they ſtand before this great God?

According to theſe their works] Qualia quiſque facit, talia quiſque luat: Let them drink as they have brewed.

And on the Propheteſſe Noadiah] Who joyned with Shemaiah in this diſſimulation, and was of his counſel. Omne malum ex gynaecio. Falſe Prophets and Seducers are ſeldome without their Women. Simon Magus had his Helena, Carpocrates his Marcellina, Apelles his Philumena, Montanus his Priſcilla, and Maximilla, &c.

And the reſt of the Prophets] Improperly ſo called, but ſo they pretended to be; and here they had conſpired, a great ſort of them, to do evil.

That would have put me in fear] By their concurrent propheſies, purpoſely to diſgrace and endanger me: Suffragia non ſunt numeranda, ſed expendenda. Multitude and antiquity are but ciphers in Divinity.
