Micah7:10
Verſe 10. Then ſhe that is mine enemy ſhall ſee it &c.] Not onely ſhall I behold his righteouſneſſe (as before) but mine enemy ſhall ſee it, and feel it too, to her ſmall comfort. They ſhall ſee it when 'tis too late to remedy it: as they ſay, the Mole never opens her eyes, till pangs of death are upon her.
And ſhame ſhall cover her,] when ſhe ſhall ſee that thou haſt ſhewed me a token for good; that thou haſt holpen me, and comforted me, Pſal. 86.17.
which ſaid unto me, Where is the Lord thy God.?] So laying her religion in her diſh, whereby God became intereſted in her cauſe, and concerned in point of honor, to appear for her. The Church is no leſſe beholden to her enemies inſolencies for help, then to her own devotions: for God will right himſelf, and her together. See Joel. 2.17. with the Note.
Mine eyes ſhall behold her] and feed upon her miſery, not as mine enemy, but as Gods: nor out of private revenge, but out of zeal for his glory.
Now ſhall ſhe be trodden down, as the myre of the ſtreets] Erit infra omnes infimos: ſhe ſhall be as mean as may be. Nineveh that great city, is now a little town of ſmall trade; Babylon is nothing elſe but a ſepulture of her ſelf. Thoſe four Monarchies that ſo heavily oppreſſed the Church, are now laid in the duſt, and live by fame onely: ſo ſhall the Romiſh Hierarchie, and Turkiſh Empire. All Chriſts enemies ſhall ſhortly be in that place that is fitteſt for them; ſc. under his feet, as was before noted: he will dung his Church with the carcaſſes of all thoſe wilde boars, and buls of Baſhan, that have trod it down.
