HE shows, that all the evils wherewith he threatened the Assyrians should turn to the salvation of the Church. Why so? Because God would no less severely punish the injuries done to his children, then if they had been done to himself. And thus he sets forth his fatherly love and his inestimable good will towards us, in that he vouchsafes to take arms even in his own person as it were for our defence. Whence we may gather,1 that all the menaces so frequent in the holy Scriptures, serve much for the consolation of the faithful.
