John Trapp on Isaiah 45:11

Ver. 11. Thus ſaith the Lord, &c.] q. d. Leave off ſuch inſolent and unbecoming language; and learn of me about what ye ſhould rather buſie your ſelves.

Ask me of things to come] Me, and not your Wizzards. Have recourſe to my Prophets, beleeve them and ye ſhall prosper. Let your patient mind be known to all men, the Lord is at hand for your deliverance.

Command ye me] This is a wonderful expreſſion, and doth notably ſet forth the power of prayer.Mr. Burr.
