Although Tyre shall seem to be utterly destroyed when God shall afflict her, yet the Prophet shows that she shall obtain mercy, for after her calamities she shall be restored to her first glory.

But it is rightlie said that such a restauration shall be brought to passe by the worke of the Lord, for otherwise Tyre must of necessitie feele that which Malachie pronounceth against the Idumeans, to wit, that the Lord would ouerthrow and cast downe all that which they built and set vp, Mala. 1.4. They had neuer recouered their first estate then vnlesse the Lord himselfe had been the author of it.
