1This particular verse is a branch of the comfort, that how ever God dealt with the world, he would be sure to have a care of his own, I will leave in the middest of thee an afflicted and poor people, and they shall trust in the name of the Lord. The whole Scripture is for consolation and comfort: when God pulls down, it is that he may build up: when he purgeth, it is that he may cure and heal: he is the father of comfort, whatsoever he doth, it is for comfort: therefore he hath a special care in his Prophets, and Ministers, and Ambassadors, that those that belong to him may be raised up with comfort, and not be overmuch dejected and cast down: but to come to the words I will also leave in the middest of th•e &c.
