John Trapp on Ezekiel 16:6

Ver. 6. And when I paſſed by thee] Not by chance, as Luke 10.31. but of free choice, and accorging to mine eternal purpoſe.

And ſaw thee in thy blood] In this deplorable condition: blood is in this verſe thrice mentioned, to ſet forth the greatneſſe of mans miſery in his pure (or rather impure) naturals, and the freeneſſe of Gods Grace toward him, all along, Matth. 11.26.

I ſaid unto thee — live] God ſpeaketh ſpiritual life to his poor people, Iſa. 55.3. and oft repeateth to them his precious promiſes, whereby they come to partake of the divine nature, having eſcaped the corruption that is in the world through lust, 2 Pet. 1.4.
