John Trapp on Zechariah 2:6

Verſe 6. Ho, ho, come forth, and flee from the land of the North] A proclamation to thoſe in Babylon to make haſt home, and come away for ſhame: now they had ſo fair a way made, and ſuch free liberty given them to return. A man would wonder they ſhould be ſo backward to a buſineſſe of this nature. But they that were born in hell, know no other heaven, as the proverb is. There they had lived a long ſeaſon in peace and ſafety in a rich and fat though a forreine Countrey. There they were at quiet, enjoyed their religion and cuſtoms, got wealth, had favourites at Court: and what ſhould they trouble themſelves to remove into a Countrey where they were ſure to meet with many bitter enemies, the Samaritans and others? And who can tell whether this Proclamation of King Darius be not a deſigne to try their affection to their countrey, and ſo to fall upon ſuch as did offer to return thither? Thus by caſting of perils, diſtruſting of promiſes, and liſtening to that Improba Siren Deſidia, Antiqr. Lib. 11 Cap. 4. they ſtaid half of them, at leaſt behinde: whatever Joſephus hath falſly ſtoried of 4628000. that returned: the contrary whereto ſee Ezr. 2.64.

for I have ſpread you abroad into the four windes] And do now offer to recollect and reduce you to your own countrey. See that ye ſhift not off Me that ſpeak from heaven.Heb. 12.25. and 2.3. See that ye neglect not ſo great ſalvation. How oft is the Lord even fain to ſmoak us, and ſo force us out of our clayie cottages, toward our heavenly home; And what aſhame is it to us that a Heathen ſhould ſay Fugiendum eſt ad clariſſimam patriam: Plotin: apud. Ang de C.D lib. 9. Cap. 16 ibi pater, ibi omnia. We ſhould even flee apace to our own countrey that is above: ſith there is our Father, there is All that heart can wiſh or need require.
