Isaiah42:14

Ver. 14. I have long time holden my peace] As a travelling woman biteth in her pain as long as ſhe is able: So had God, for cauſes beſt known to himſelf, forborn a long while to appear for his people, and to avenge them of their enemies: But now Patientia laeſa fit furor: Deique patientia quo diuturnior, eo minacior: now down goeth Dagon and the devils whole Kingdom, before this jealous Gyant.

Now will I cry like a traevelling woman] Which when ſhe can bear no longer, ſets up her note and is heard all the houſe over. This is very comfortable: God is pained as it were for his people; in all their afflictions he is afflicted: he longs for their deliverance, which therefore ſhall not be long ere it come.
