The presumption here spoken of, is not only the presumption of heart (saith Cajetan) of which God only is Judge, but a presumption manifested in word or work, which he conceives to be intimated by the Hebrew phrase, with an high hand. Grotius understands one that either denies that there is a God, or that the Law was given by God, or after admonition goeth on in his trespass.
