Isaiah64:5
Ver. 5. Thou meeteſt him that rejoyceth and worketh righteouſneſs] That doth thy work diligently and with delight; that being acted by thee, acteth vigorouſly for thee. Tantum velis, & Deus tibi praeoccurret, ſaith an Ancient: as the Prodigals Father met him upon the way. If ye be willing and obedient, ye ſhall eat the good things of the land, chap. 1.21. which that we may be, Nolentem praevenit Deus ut velit, Aug. volentem ſubſequitur ne fruſtra velit. God worketh in us both to will and to doe, of his own good pleaſure. Howbeit he expecteth that we ſhou[illegible: 1 letter]d go as far as we can naturally, if ever we look that He ſhould meet us graciouſly. Though the Miller cannot command a wind, yet he will ſpread his fails, be in the way to have it, if it come.
In thoſe is continuance] i. e. In thoſe ſins of ours: and ſhall we be ſaved? Or, in thoſe wayes of thine, thy wayes of mercy and fidelity is permanency: therefore we ſhall be ſaved, our ſins notwithſtanding.
