Lamentations1:22

Ver. 22. Let their wickedneſſe come before thee] God had pronounced Babylons deſtruction, and therefore the Church might ſafely pray it: Think the like of ſpiritual Babylon. God ſeemeth to forget the inſolencies of his enemies, and deliverance of his people: we muſt minde him, and then it will be done. Only let us ſee to it, that our fire of zeal for Gods glory burn clear, without the ſmoke of ſelf-ends, and of private revenge.

As thou haſt done unto me for my tranſgreſſions] This was it that put a ſting into all her ſufferings: but then ſhe had this to ſupport her, that her ſighes for her ſins were many, and that her heart was faint or heavy through fear of wrath; yet not without hope of mercy, which made her thus to repaire unto him by Prayer. Qui nihil sperat, nihil orat.
