Vers. 24. And none inhabitant shall say, I am sick: the people that dwell therein, shall have their iniquity forgiven.
Vers. 24. And none inhabitant shall say, I am sicke: the people that dwell therein, shall haue their iniquitie forgiuen.
Now the Prophet returns again to the Church; for the ruin which he threatened should fall upon the Assyrians, tended not a little to the consolation of the faithful: for what security could the Church have had, unless God had opposed his help against the power of so many enemies, which assailed her on every side? Having in a word then touched the state of the wicked; to wit, that they shall all be brought to nought, because they persecute the children of God, he aptly returns where he left, to wit, that God will omit no occasion that may make for the good and salvation of his Church. He saith then that the Citizens of the Church shall be freed from all incommodities, because by the favour of God, they shall enjoy an happy estate.
NOw the Prophet returnes againe to the Church; for the ruine which he threatned should fall vpon the Assyrians, tended not a little to the consolation of the faithful: for what securitie could the Church haue had, vnlesse God had opposed his helpe against the power of so many enemies, which assailed her on euery side? Hauing in a word then touched the state of the wicked; to wit, that they shall all be brought to nought, because they persecute the children of God, he aptly returnes where he left, to wit, that God will omit no occasion that may make for the good and saluation of his Church. He saith then that the Citizens of the Church shall be freed from all incommodities, because by the fauour of God, they shall inioy an happie estate.
