Thirdly, Stretching out the hand, is a posture of pride and impudence; pride is written upon a stretched-out-hand. To sin presumptuously,1 is in the Original to sin with a high hand (Numb. 15.30.) The Septuagint render that place, The soul ⟨p. 128⟩that in the hand of pride thinks so, shall be cut off: The Chaldee Paraphrase gives it thus; He that sins with an uncovered head; An uncovered head is an argument of boldness, and that he who acts, cares not who sees him. Modesty causeth us to hang down, or cover the head, when we have done ill, and shame makes us cover the head when we receive evil, or are punished (Jer. 14.4.) The Ploughmen were ashamed, they covered their heads because the ground was chapt: for there was no rain in the Earth: So that to do, or suffer with an uncovered head, is like doing or suffering with a high, or stretched-out-hand, boldly, presumptuously, and as it were, hanging out a Flag of defiance against the God of Heaven.
