Zechariah2:10

Verſe 10. Sing and rejoyce, O daughter of Zion, for lo, I come] After a long abſence (as it may ſeem) and great expectation, I come, not to lodge for a night, but to dwell and make mine abode in the midſt of thee; partly in my new-built temple, but principally in the Temple of my body, Ioh. 2.21. For the Word was made fleſh and dwelt amongst us, Joh. 1.14. Lo here's habitatie Dei cum carne, God dwelling with men, which the Magicians held impoſſible, Dan. 2.11. And for this the Church here, though at a great under, is commanded to ſing and ſhout, notwithſtanding her preſent preſſures. This might ſeem to her an unſeaſonable diſcourſe; which, ſaith Siracides, is as muſick in mourning. But when is phyſick more ſeaſonable,Ecclus. 22.6. then in time of ſickneſſe? And when had the Saints more need of chearing up, then when they are preſſed down with heavieſt croſſes? And what greater comfort to a good ſoul then Chriſt Jeſus our joy? Chriſtus tecythus habet in malu: his comforts are ſuch as the world can neither give, nor take away: ſuch as no good thing can match; no evill thing overmatch.
