Isaiah2:10

Ver. 10. Enter into the Rock and hide thee] q. d. Do if thou canſt: go where thou thinkeſt thou mayeſt be moſt ſecret and ſecure: but Gods hand will ſurely find thee and ferret thee out, as it did the five Kings of Canaan, hid in the cave of Makkedah▪ Joſh. 10. and as it did the wretched Jews, who were by the Romans pulled out of their privies and other lurking-holes to the ſlaughter, at the laſt deſtruction of Jeruſalem. Hoc autem perpetuo invenies apud peccatores, ſaith Oecolampadius here: This is ever uſual with ſinful perſons, to deſire to flie from God, but he meeteth them at every turn, as he did Adam, Cain, Jonas, Dr. Rain. &c. The ſafeſt way is to flie fron Gods anger to Gods grace. Blood-letting is a cure of bleeding, and a burn a cure againſt a burn: and running to God is the way to eſcape him; as to cloſe and get in with him that would ſtrike you, doth avoid the blow.

For fear of the Lord and for the glory] Heb. from before the fear of the Lord, and from the glory of his Majeſty: ſo the Chaldaean and Roman forces are called. See 2 Theſſ. 1.9. which ſeemeth to be taken from this Text.
