Sol. Thou knowest not how 1God dealeth with them, God can judge them secretly, and consume them insensibly, so as the world shall take no notice of it, as the moth eateth up the garment, without making any great rent, Isaiah 51. 8. And for this reason, they are exhorted in that place, not to fear the reproach. Secondly, What knowest thou what God will yet do with them? For God hath pleaded the cause of his servants many times by bringing strange judgements upon the ⟨p. 333⟩wicked. This Pashur shall be made Magor-missabib, that is, a terror round about, and all that hear it shall tremble, Jer. 20. 3. God can clothe thy adversaries with shame, and cover them with their own confusion, as with a mantle, Psa. 109. 29.
