Magistrates abuse of their authority. xThe Princes of Judah were like them that remove the bound: therefore I will pour out my wrath upon them, saith the Lord. yThe Lord turned not from the fierceness of his great wrath wherewith his wrath was kindled against Judah, because of all the provocations that Manasseh had provoked him withal. zMagistrates are on earth as Gods: they bear his image, stand in his room, are to execute his judgements. By their abuse of their authority God is highly dishonoured, and his image disgraced: so as he can not but manifest his indignation against such.
