Isaiah16:4
Ver. 4. Let mine out-caſts] who are dear to me, Jer. 30.17. though I may ſeem to have caſt off the care of them. Out eaſts they may be: but not caſtawayes. See chap. 52.5, 6. perſecuted, but not forſaken, 2 Cor. 4.9. Bowels of mercy muſt be put on toward godly Exiles eſpecially, who are Dei [non-Latin text not transcribed], and ſhould therefore be dear to us.
For the extortioner is at an end] Heb. Emunctor, the Milker, or Squeezer, or W[illegible: 1 letter]inger out, Prov. 30.33. ſo the Aſſyrian Tyrant is called: as alſo Vaſtator & Proculcator, the ſpoiler or plunderer, and Conculcator, the Oppreſſour or Treader down, is conſumed out of the Land: and it ſhall not be long ere I fetch home my baniſhed: be content therefore to harbour them awhile: herein thou ſhalt do thy ſelf no diſſervice at all.
