Isaiah54:4
Ver. 4. Fear not, for thou ſhalt not be aſhamed] As widdows and barren women wont to be. Thou haſt been without God and without Chriſt in the world: but henceforth thou ſhalt be married to him who is raiſed from the dead, that thou maiſt bring forth fruit unto God, Rom. 7.4. Ipſe enim quod vult jubet, Act. & M[illegible: 1 letter]n. 1490. & dat quod jubet. When you would and ſhould be certain and quiet in Conſcience (ſaith Mr. Bradford Martyr, in a ſweet letter of his to a woman troubled in mind) then ſhould your faith burſt through all things, until it come to Chriſt crucified, and the eternal ſweet mercies and goodneſſe of God in Chriſt. Here, here is the bridal-bed, here is you Spouſes reſting-place: creep into it, and in your armes of faith embrace him. Bewail your weakneſſe, your unworthineſſe, your diffidence, &c. and you ſhall ſee he will turn to you: what ſaid I you ſhall ſee? nay I ſhould have ſaid you ſhall feel he will turn to you.
