Vers. 34. By the same way he came shall he return, and not come into this City, saith the Lord.
Vers. 34. By the same way hee came shall he returne, and not come into this Citie, saith the Lord.
We have said before, that to return by the same wa•, signifies,1 To go his way without performing any thing; as we use to say in our common proverb; He went as wise as he came, when one returns without doing that which he came for, and is prevented in all his enterprises. To confirm this, he adds that the Lord hath said it. For no sooner hath he (which cannot lie) spoken, but we ought forthwith to receive and embrace his word; and that no less then if all impediments being taken away, we saw the effect by and by to take place.

For no sooner hath he (which cannot lie) spoken, but we ought forthwith to receiue and imbrace his word; and that no lesse then if all impediments being taken away, we saw the effect by and by to take place.
