Then this teacheth us,1 that if we shall hear ungodly wretches blaspheme the name of God, we may not endure it, but have indignation & great dislike of it. And if we hear black-mouthed Rabshekahs blaspheme the holy name of God, by swearing, cursing, banning, we must be touched with grief, to hear the glorious name of our God dishonoured, and if time and place require, manifest our dislike in open reprehension of it. When Ahab and Jezebel being both wicked, heard that Naboth had blasphemed God, they rent their clothes in token of sorrow. So when Hezekiah heard the blasphemies of Rabshekah, 2he rent his cloths and was very much grieved for it. When David heard the Gentiles say,3 where is now their God? this blasphemous speech did greatly affect him, so as his very tears were his drink. And the bad speeches of the men of Sodom, did much affect Lot, & vex his righteous soul, 2. Pet. 2. 8.
