Isaiah66:12
Ver. 12. Behold I will extend peace to her] This and the following Promiſes are the delicious milk ſpoken of before, ſc. pax copioſa & p[illegible: 1 letter]rennis, peace as a river, as the waters cover the ſea: joy unſpeakable and full of glory, Gods fatherly care, motherly affection, &c. all that heart can wiſh, or need require.
Like a river] As Euphrates, ſaith the Chaldee.
Like a flowing ſtream] Or overflowing as Nilus, Claudian.—Qui cunctis amnibus extat Ʋtilior.
Ye ſhall be born upon her ſide] Humaniſſime & ſuaviſſime trāctabimini, ye ſhall be born in the Churches armes, laid to her breſts, ſet in her lap, dandled on her knees, &c. Hac Similitudine nihil fierà poteſt ſuavius. See Num. 11.12.
