Hieruſalems conſtane protection then is here affevered and aſſured, per comparationem promiſſionis & experientie ſimul, & ſimilitèr eam conteſtantium. See the like, Job 42.5. with the Note.

In the City of our God] The Church is the City of the living God, Heb. 12.22. a City that breedeth men yea Conquerours, as Herodotus ſaith of Ecbatana the Metropolis of the Medes, and as Pindarus of another place, [non-Latin text not transcribed], &c. Herod. Clio[illegible: 1 letter] Nemeis Od. [illegible: 1 letter]

God will eſtabliſh it for ever] There ſhall be a Church till the Worlds end, maugre all her enemies.
