Verſe 15. The Lord hath taken away thy judgments] i. e. He hath remitted thy ſins, removed thy puniſhments, turned againe thy captivity as the ſtreames in the ſouth, commanded his Prophets faying, Comfort ye, comfort ye my people &c. Eſa 40.1.2. tell her that all accuſations and actions laid againſt her in the coury of heaven are non-ſuted, and Gods wrath appeaſed. This is the ſumme of all hte good news in the world: this is a ſhort goſpell.
he hath caſt out thine enemy] As rubbiſh and ſweepings of the houſe are caſt out: ſo hath God dealt by thine enemies corporall and ſpirituall: [non-Latin text not transcribed] repurga. re everrere ſignificat. that thou being delivered out of the hands of both, might ſerve him without feare, in holineſſe and righteouſneſſe before him all thy dayes Luk 1.74, 75.
the king of Iſrael even the Lord is in the middeſt of thee] In the many teſtimonies of his powerfull and gracious preſence: yea, he hath ſet him up a mercy-ſeat, a throne of grace, and bidden thee come boldly thereunto Heb. 4.16.
