John Trapp on Isaiah 62:1

CHAP. LXII.

Ver. 1. FOr Zions ſake I will not hold my peace] Habes hic orationem prophetae ſanctiſſimam, Pro Panegyrico Eccleſia dicto omnia quae hoc capite dicuntur rectè meo judicio accipientur. Hyper. ſaith Oecolampadius; Here we have the Prophets Oration; yea here we have the Prophets Panegyrick to the Church, ſaith Hyperius, by way of congratulation for her felicity and dignity in Chriſt her head and husband: as alſo his reſolution to be earneſt and importunate with God and men for her deliverance and reſtitution. Terentius that noble General under Valens the Emperour, a[illegible: 1 letter]ked nothing but that the Church might be freed from Arrians: and when the Emperour tore his Petition, he ſaid that he would never ask any thing for himſelf, if he might not prevail for the Church.

Ʋntil the righteouſneſſe thereof go forth as brightneſſe] Till Chriſt come in the fleſh, if I ſhould live ſo long; as long as I have any being howſoever (See the like 1 Tim. 6.14.) and after that, by my writings, which ſhall continue to the worlds end.
