John Trapp on Isaiah 54:8

Ver. 8. In a little wrath] God can let forth his wrath in minnums, in little bubbles, as the word here rendered wrath properly ſignifieth. This wrath to the Saints, is but love displeaſed, and ſoon pacified again.

I hid my face from thee] God ſometimes concealeth his love out of increaſement of love: he departeth from us, but then turneth again and looketh through the chinkers (as that Martyr phraſed it) to ſee how we take it. Fathers leave their children (ſaith One) the other ſide the ſtile, and help them over when they cry: they ſeem to leave them ſometimes in a throng, and then reach them the hand again upon their complaint: So is it here. To ſay God hath caſt me off becauſe he hath hid his Face, is a fallacy fetcht out of the devils Topicks. When the Sun is eclipſed, fooliſh people may think it will never recover light: but wiſe men know it will. As, during the Eclipſe,Dr. Goodwin. though the earth wanteth the light of the Sun for a time, yet not the influence thereof: for the mettals that are ingendred in the bowels of the earth are concocted by the Sun at the ſame time: ſo doth Gods favour viſit mens hearts in the power, heat, and vigorous influence of his grace, when the light and comfort of it is intercluded.

But with everlaſting kindneſſe] See a like elegant Antitheſis with a double Hyperbole to boot, 2 Cor. 4.17.
