2 c When the hypocrisie of the wicked is discouered thei brast forthe into an open rage: for they can abide nothing but flatteries, read, {Isa. 30, 10}.
2 d He sheweth what is the nature of the hypocrites: to wit, to faine that they wolde obey God and imbrace his worde, if thei were assured that his messengers spake the trueth: thogh in dede they be moste farre from all obedience.
2 b This declareth that pride is the cause of rebellion, & contempt of Gods ministers.
2 a Who was also called Jezaniah, {Chap. 42, 1}.
3 e Thus the wicked do not onely contemne, & hurt the messengers of God, but sclander, and speake wickedly of all them that support or fauour the godlie.
