4. You may spread the blasphemies of the Babylonish faction in the eyes of heaven. Thus did ⟨p. 26⟩Hezekiah when Rabshakeh blasphemed, and we know how it prevailed. Great, and grievous have the blasphemies been wherewith the men of Babylon have blasphemed the Saints of God, and the footsteps of his Anointed, which God takes as done against himself, and so repays them, Ezek. 35. 12. compared with the 13 verse. In the 12 ver[…] said, I have heard all thy blasphemies which thou hast spoken against the mountains of Israel, saying, they are laid desolata, they are given us to consume: But in the 13 verse these words are charged upon them, as if they were spoken against God himself, Thus with your mouth you have boasted against me, and have multiplied your words against me. Therefore at the 14 verse follows the punishment. The spreading of their hellish blasphemies, is exceeding prevalent with God, and very potent.
