Isaiah40:9
Ver. 9. O Zion that bringeſt good tydings] That Evangeliſt: The Goſpel is the ſumme of all the good news in the world. Chriſts Incarnation (Biſher the word here uſed, cometh of Baſhar, which ſignifieth Fleſh) was glad tydings of great joy to all people, Luk. 2.10.
Get thee up into the high mountain] Zion was it ſelf an high mountain: yet is bidden to aſcend into an higher, for the better promulgation of the Goſpel.
Lift it up, be not afraid] Viz. for perſecution which is Evangelii genius, the evil Angel that doggeth the Goſpel at the heeles, as Calvin wrote to the French King.
Behold your God] Behold the Meſſias, who hath been ſo long expected, is now exhibited.
