and he shall say, no, then shall he say hold thy tongue, for we may not make mention of the Name of the Lrrd. As if when all these evils and plagues were come upon them, they had been stopped or restrained from prayer, and totally withdrawn from God, by some prohibition from men, who were so far from calling the people to solicit God by prayer to take off his hand,¹ that they forbid them so much as make mention of his name; As if they were either afraid or abhorred to mention the name of God, because he had been so terrible among them in his Judgements. And whereas we translate, We may ⟨p. 322⟩not make mention of the names of the Lord. ²Our late Annotators take notice of two other readings. We have not, or, we will not make mention of the name of the Lord; Implying that the stop lay only in their own spirits, they being either so generally wicked, that they had no mind to call upon God, or so unbelieving that they thought their case desperate, and had no hope of help if they should. A Heathen hath said, That their gods were most worshipped when most displeased; but we have some Christians in name who will not worship God at all when they are under the tokens of his displeasure. Thoughts of God are never more pleasing to a gracious heart, nor more troublesome to a wicked, then when they are in trouble.

and he shall say, no, then shall he say hold thy tongue, for wee may not make mention of the Name of the Lrrd. As if when all these evills and plagues were come upon them, they had been stopt or restrained from prayer, and totally withdrawn from God, by some prohibition from men, who were so farre from calling the people to solicite God by prayer to take off his hand,¹ that they forbid them so much as make mention of his name; As if they were eyther afraid or abhorred to mention the name of God, because he had been so terrible among them in his Judgements. And whereas we translate, We may ⟨p. 322⟩not make mention of the names of the Lord. ²
