All the people shall hear and fear, and do no more presumptuously.

EXPLANATION

Verse 13. Pride. Hebrew “do presumptuously,” as the Prot. translate. How will they excuse their leaders, Luther, and so forth and themselves, from this grievous charge?

Hic niger est, hunc tu Romane caveto. Hor. Bible.
