Lamentations1:21

Ver. 21. They have heard that I ſigh] My friends have; and yet they pitty me not: this was a great vexation, and is much complained of. See ver. 2, 16, 17, 19.

All mine enemies have heard of my trouble: they are glad] This [non-Latin text not transcribed] is the devils diſeaſe: the wicked compoſe Comedies out of the Saints Tragedies, and revel in their ruines. But God people, in this caſe, have a double comfort. 1. That God hath done it (and not the enemy) that he hath a holy hand in all the troubles that befal them. 2. That their enemies ſhall not ſcape ſcotfree, but be ſoundly puniſhed.

That thou haſt done it] Or, but thou haſt done it: and ſure we are, thou wilt not overdo.

Thou wilt bring the day that thou haſt called] The diſmal day of vengeance, that thou haſt threatened Babylon with, eſpecially by Iſay and Jeremy.

And they ſhall be like unto me] Their future deſolation is my preſent conſolation.
