8 He therefore that despiseth, despiseth not man, but God, who hath also given unto us his holy Spirit.



Ver. 8. He therefore that despiseth] That thinks it a trick of youth to fornicate, and a trick of wit to over reach or oppress; that holds it a matter of nothing to set light by the former lessons; he shall find that he hath to deal with God and not man in this business; and that it is by the Spirit of God that we have spoken unto him, who will punish their contempt of his counsels.
