Lamentations4:22

Ver. 22. The puniſhment of thine iniquity is accompliſhed O daughter of Zion] A word of comfort in the cloſe of this doleful ditty. The Sun of Righteouſneſſe loveth not to ſet in a cloud. See Iſa. 40.1. Profane Elegies have no comfort in them, as this hath.

He will no more carry thee away into Captivity] i. e. No more in haſte; after thy return from Babylon. Caried away they were again,Accommodant huc Iſa. 21.11. legentes prô Dumah Rom[illegible: 1 letter]. many ages after by the Romans, whom to this day they therefore call Edomites, and the Popes hierarchy the wicked kingdom of Edom, which they ſay ſhall be certainly deſtroyed, as is here alſo foretold: and then ſhall they be brought back again to Jeruſalem, and there reſetled by their Meſſiah. See the Chaldee Paraphraſt upon this text.

He will diſcover thy ſins] i. e. Puniſh thee ſoundly for them, in the ſight of all men. See on Pſal. 32.1, 2. Job 20.17.
