5 This reproves those who are violent opposers of the Gospel. As the former may be called a worldly violence, so this may be called a persecuting violence. Such was the violence of Paul before his conversion, Act. 26. 11. I punished them oft in every Synagogue, and compelled them to blaspheme, and 1being exceedingly mad against them, I persecuted them even unto strange Cities. The Scribes and Pharisees are said to be filled with madness, against Christ after the miracle was wrought in curing the man with the withered hand, Luke 6. 11. There are some that understand my Text of this persecuting violence. 2This is called a rage reaching up to heaven, 2 Chron. 28. 9.
