Isaiah26:11
Ver. 11. Lord, when thy hand is lifted up, they will not ſee] i. e. Obſerve, conſider, and take warning: let Gods hand be never ſo high and glorious, ſo lifted up and exalted, yet theſe Buzzards will not behold his Majeſty, as ver. 10. as being more blind then Moles, more deaf then Sea-monſters, they refuſe to regard ought.
But they ſhall ſee and be confounded] But yet, maugre their head, (as One well paraphraſeth the words) they ſhall be driven both to ſee, and to acknowledge to their ſhame, the great and mighty hand of God, his zeal for his people, and the fire of his wrath to conſume his foes: See Zach. 1.15, 14. experientur ſuo magno malo, they ſhall to their coſt, feel the weight of Gods hand, which the higher it is lifeed, the heavier it will light at length. Mrs. Hutchinſon, Story of Sect. in New Engl. by Mr. Weid. pag. 44. that Jezabel of New England, as ſhe had vented about thirty miſhapen opinions there, ſo ſhe brought forth about thirty deformed monſters. Shee and her family were after this (becauſe they would not be reclaimed, but turned off admonition, ſaying, This is for you, ye Legaliſts that your eyes might be further blinded by Gods hand upon us, in your Legal wayes, &c.) ſlain (ſome ſay burnt) by the Indians who never uſed to exerciſe ſuch an outrage upon any.
