Lamentations3:8

Ver. 8. Alſo when I cry and ſhout] As poor Priſoners uſe to do, for relief and releaſe.

He ſhutteth out my prayer] Or ſhutteth his eare to my prayer. This was very grievous to any good heart: more then it could be to Tully, a ſtranger to the true God, who yet bewaileth the matter to his brother in theſe words, I would pray to the gods for thoſe things; but that, alaſſe, they have given over to hear my prayers.
