Isaiah64:7
Ver. 7. And there is none that calleth upon thy Name] i. e. Very few: for that God had then a praying people, this very prayer declareth:Apparent rari nant[illegible: 1 letter]s in gurgite vaſto. but they were drowned in the multiude, being ſcarce diſcernable.
That ſtirreth up himſelf to take hold of thee] That rouſeth up himſelf, and wraſtleth with God, laying hold on him by faith and prayer, reſolved to retain him. Let us go forth as Sampſon did, and ſhake up our ſelves againſt that indevotion and ſpiritual ſloth, that will creep upon us in doing good: See for this Mr. Whitfield's Help to ſtirring up, an excellent Treatiſe, written upon this text.
For thou haſt hid thy face from us] Or, though thou haſt hid thy face: Ne tuis quidem ferulis caeſi reſipuimus.
