Israel is sick; no Bell stirs, no Balm is thought of, no Prophet consulted, not God himself solicited. Hence, behold, a complaint from Heaven, a knell from above the Clouds: for though the words sound ⟨p. 211⟩through the Prophets lips, who tolls like a Passing-Bell, for Israel, yet they come from the mouth of the Lord of Hosts. The Prophet Ezekiel useth like words;1 and adds with them, the Lord of Hosts saith it. There is no doubt of his spiritual inspiration: all the question is of his personal appropriation. It is certain, that the Prophet Jeremiah speaks here many things in his own person, and some in the person of God. Now by comparing it, with other like speeches in the Prophets, these words sound, as from a merciful and compassionate Maker. Why is not the health of my People recovered? Mei populi, saith God, who indeed might alone speak possessively: Mine; for he had chosen and culled them out of the whole world to be his people. Why are not My people recovered? There is Balm, and there are Physicians, as in Isaiah▪ 2What could I have done more for my Vineyard?
Israell is sicke; no Bell stirres, no Balme is thought of, no Prophet consulted, not God himselfe sollicited. Hence, behold, a complaint from Heauen, a knell from aboue the Clouds: for though the words sound ⟨p. 211⟩through the Prophets lips, who toles like a Passing-Bell, for Israell, yet they come from the mouth of the Lord of Hoasts. The Prophet Ezekiell vseth like words;1 and addes with them, the Lord of Hoasts saith it. There is no doubt of his spirituall inspiration: all the question is of his personall appropriation. It is certaine, that the Prophet Ieremie speakes here many things in his owne person, and some in the person of God. Now by comparing it, with other like speeches in the Prophets, these words sound, as from a mercifull and compassionate Maker. Why is not the health of my People recouered? Mei populi, saith God, who indeede might alone speake possessiuely: Mine; for hee had chosen and culled them out of the whole world to be his people. Why are not My people recouered? There is Balme, and there are Physitians, as in Esay
