The LORD that is here said to come with ten thousands of his Saints, is Jesus Christ himself: and they that come with him are called his Saints, because given to him by the Father, for the Sake of the shedding of his Blood. Now in that he is ⟨p. 156⟩said to come to execute judgment upon all, and especially those that speak hard Speeches against him; 'tis evident that the Father tendereth his Name which is, Jesus, a Saviour, and his undertaking for our Redemption; and as evident that the hard Speeches, intended by the Text, are such as vilify him, as Saviour, counting the Blood of the Covenant, unholy, and trampling him, that is Prince of the Covenant under the Feet of their reproachful Language; this is counted a putting of him to open shame, and a despising the riches of his Goodness, Heb. 10. Chap. 6. Rom. 2. Time would fail to give you a view of the revilings, despiteful sayings, and of the Ungodly Speeches which these abominable Children of Hell, let fall in their Pamphlets, Doctrines, and Discourses, against this Lord the King. But the threatening is, He shall execute judgment upon them for all their ungodly Deeds, and for all their hard Speeches that ungodly Sinners have spoken against him.
