Isaiah61:2
Ver. 2. To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord] The new and true Jubilee or year of releaſment, called here in the Hebrew the year of good-will, like as the Elect are called the men of Gods good-will, Luke 2.14. This year is now, 2 Cor. 6.2. and the preſent now muſt be embraced and improved; ſith God is but a while with men in the opportunities of grace; which opportunities are headlong, and once paſt, irrecoverable.
And the day of vengeance of our God] Tribulation to them that trouble his people, 2 Theſ. 1.6, 7. Gog and Magog ſhall down in that day; all Hamans be hanged up at that feaſt royal, at the laſt day eſpecially, Luke 19.27.
To comfort all that mourn] This, Chriſt did both by word and deed: and this muſt all his Miniſters do: comfort the feeble-minded, 1 Theſ. 5.14. not burdening mens conſciences with humane traditions and merit of works. Popery is a doctrine of deſperation.Apud Hebraeos ornatus eſt in verbis. [non-Latin text not transcribed] & [non-Latin text not transcribed]
