The outward members, especially the hand and tongue, are made the weapons of unrighteousness, both against God and Man.

1The Church-Historian reports of Julian the Apostate, that when he was wounded in the Battle against the Parthians, he took of his blood, and threw it up to Heaven, he stretched out his hand against God, saying, in derision of Christ, O Galilean thou hast overcome: This outward gesture of his body, expressed the secret indignation of his mind. And it is observed by Jerome, 2who saith, he received it from the Tradition of the Jews, that the Amalekites, who were professed Enemies to the Jews, did lye upon the watch, to take all advantages against them, in their march from Egypt to Canaan, and when at any time they turned aside out of the way, either because of legal uncleanness, or upon any natural necessity, they would fall upon them and slay them; which being done, they cut off that member which had the Seal of the Covenant (Circumcision) upon it, and with their hands stretched out, threw it up towards Heaven, as if they would challenge God himself to revenge their blasphemy of him, and the contempt of that sacred Institution.
