First God biddeth him, Arise and shake off all impediments, and then to go and call them to the battle, and now he bids him cry out against them, and so terrify them. Every Prophet is a crier, as appeareth where the Lord biddeth Isaiah to lift up his 1voice like a Trumpet. Every Prophet must both be plain and bold, and this many times maketh the poor servants of God to speak their minds as plain and bold as if they sate in judgement. John was a voice, a voice would not serve, he was the voice 2of a crier, and yet he could not make the crooked straight, nor the rough plain.
