Ezekiel34:23

Ver. 23. And I will ſet up one Shepheard] Who indeed is the only Shepheard. Magiſtrates and Miniſters are Shepheards: but Chriſt is the good Shepheard, Joh. 10.11. the great Shepheard and Biſhop of ſouls, 1 Pet. 2.25. Heb. 13.20. the true Shepheard, above all for skill, love, and power: above Jacob, above David of whom he deſcended, and by whoſe name he is here called: ſo Jer. 30.9. Hoſ. 3.5. Ezek. 37.24.

Even my ſervant David] i. e. Chriſt the Son and ſucceſſour of David, not David George; as that odious heretike who dyed at Baſile blaſphemouſly applied this text to himſelf as if he had been the man here intended. The Jews themſelves confeſſe that Meſſias is here meant.

He ſhall feed them] This is thus repeated, as that which containeth a world of comfort. It ſheweth alſo that Chriſt will do it to the utmoſt. Jacob was a ſedulous Shepherd: Chriſt much more.
