Ezekiel34:28-29

Ver. 28. And they ſhall be no more a prey to the heathen] As the Jews then were and are to this day, being uſed by the Papiſts as ſpunges. The Chriſtian Hebrews alſo ſuffered with joy the ſpoiling of their goods: but then (for an allay to their grief) they knew within themſelves that which did ſufficiently ſupport them, and make up their loſſe, Heb. 10.34.

Sept. plantam pacis.Ver. 29. And I will raiſe up for them a plant of renowne] i. e. Chriſt the true tree of life: Or the Church planted and rooted in Chriſt, and much renowned all the world over. Chriſt myſtical is a vine covering the whole earth.

And they ſhall be no more conſumed with hunger] They ſhall have enough of all good things, a ſufficiency, though not a ſuperfluity; a Davids ſat habeo, becauſe the Lord hath heard the voyce of my ſupplications, Pſal. 116.1.

Neither bear the ſhame of the heathen any more] God will bring them in credit with thoſe which formerly ſlighted and reproached them. God faſhioneth mens opinions, ruleth their tongues, promiſeth to them who by patient continuance in well-doing ſeek for glory and honour and immortality, eternal life: where the Saints ſhall ſhine as the Sun in his ſtrength, Rom. 2.7. Mat. 13.43.
