HE repeats the same thing that he said before; to wit, that the people who had been instructed in the school of God, were no way excusable, in regard of their dullness. He rebukes them thus sharply then for not ⟨p. 415⟩having profited better in the Law, and other good means which God had given them, over and besides the common understanding wherewith all of them might have been endued. In the first place he puts the verb To know, which is more general; because God had caused his glory to appear unto them, by many miracles and testimonies of his power: in the second place he comes to the hearing; as if he should say, If these things have wrought nothing upon thee, namely, that thou hast been so long taught and instructed, both by the word and works of God, that he useth not to sit idle in heaven; it must needs be concluded, that thou art very unteachable.
