Zechariah1:11
Verſe 11. We have walked to and fro thorow the earth] Itavimus, we have courſed up and down with incredible ſwiftneſſe. Hence they are called the charrets of God, Pſal. 68.17. (Heb. Gods-charret, to note out their joynt-ſervice, as of one) as here, his horſemen, ready preſt to do his pleaſure.
and behold all the earth ſitteth ſtill, and is at reſt] excepting the Church alone, which like Noah's Ark, is ever toſſed up and down, till it reſt at laſt on the everlaſting mountain: then ſhe ſhall have her happy Halcyons: then ſhe ſhall ſee her enemies afar off, as Lazarus did Dives, or as the Iſraelites at the red-ſea did their perſecutours, dead upon the ſhore. Mean-while, ſhe muſt not expect to be calm, and quiet for any continuance.Joh. 16.33. Joh. 16.20. Eſth. 3.15. Eſay 21.10. 1 Cor. 3.9. In the world ye ſhall have trouble, And ye ſhall weep and lament: but the world ſhall rejoyce: they ſhall revel, and laugh themſelves fat. The king and Haman ſat down to drink: but the city Shuſhan was perplexed. The Church is called Gods threſhing-floor, becauſe threſhed with continuall croſſes: and Gods-husbandry, becauſe he will be ſure to plow his own ground, and to make long furrows upon their backs, whatſoever become of the waſte; and to weed his own garden, though the reſt of the world be let alone, and grow wild. Moab is not poured from veſſell to veſſell, Jer. 48. Job 10.10.[illegible: 1 letter] but ſetleth upon the lees: when the Iſrael of God is poured out as milk, and crudled like cheeſe, as Job ſpeaketh in another caſe.
