Isaiah53:8

Ver. 8. He was taken from priſon and from judgement] Abſque dilatione & titra judicium raptus eſt, ſc. ad crucem; ſo Vatablus rendereth it: He was hurried away (to the Croſſe) without delay and againſt right or reaſon. Or, as others, he was taken from diſtreſſe and torment into glory, when he had cryed conſummatum eſt, It is finiſhed; Inauditâ cauſâ and, Father, into thy hands I commit my Spirit. The Seventy render it ſomewhat otherwiſe, as may be ſeen. Act. 8.33. the Apoſtle Peter explaineth it, Act. 2.24.

And who ſhall declare his generation?] Or, who can reckon his age, or his race? Or, who can utter or deſcribe his generation? i. e. The wickedneſſe of the men of thoſe times he lived in: or the hiſtory of his life and death? Some underſtand it of his eternal generation, Prov. 8.24, 25. Others of his Incarnation, that great Myſtery of godlineſſe: Quantus enim Deus quantillus factus eſt homo! Others of his holy ſeed, his Croſſe being fruitful,Aug. and his death giving life to an innumerable generation, Revl. 7.9.

For he was cut off out of the land of the living] Quaſi arbor ſaevis icta bipennibus, as a tree that is hewn down, 2 King. 6.4.

For the tranſgreſſion of my people] Our iniquities were the weapons, and our ſelves the traitours, that put to death the Lord of Life; Judas and the Jews were but our workmen. This ſhould draw dreary tears from us, Zach. 12.10.
