The Hebrew is, Men of Iniquity; Which phrase plainly imports, that he doth not speak of the ordinary race, or rank of sinners, but of the Extremest sinners, men so full of iniquity, that they deserved this black Title, men of Iniquity. Antichrist is called not only a man of sin, or the man of sin, but (which implieth a sinner of a higher form, then both the former) That man of sin (2 Thes. 2.3.) He being indeed not only among the chiefest sinners, but the chief of sinners. The phrase in the Text is a degree lower then that, yet it notes a very great degree. And therefore when the Prophet would assure the greatest sinners repenting and returning to God, of the readiness of God to pardon, he expresseth them in this stile (Isa. 55.7.) Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man, or (as the Original Text hath it) the man of iniquity, his thoughts and &c. As a man of Bloods notes a very bloody man, a man given up to that particular sin of cruelty. So a man of iniquity, is one given up to sin in General. Hast thou marked the old way which wicked men, men of iniquity, have Trodden.
