6. Ministers perverting their function: and that by encouraging and emboldening the wicked: and by discouraging and discountenancing the upright. aThe Prophet thus in the name of the Lord denounceth Gods wrath against such Ministers as build up their wall with untempered mortar, 2I will even rent it with a stormy wind in my fury: and there shall be an over-flowing shower in mine anger, and great hailstones in my fury to consume it. Take instance of the fearful effects of Gods wrath against bEli's house. cMinisters also of Gods Word do in another kind bear Gods image, stand in his room, and are instructed with his counsels. By their perverting therefore of their function God is much dishonoured, and his wrath must needs be much incensed.
