Vers. 11. He shall see the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities.
Vers. 11. He shall see the trauaile of his soule, and shall bee satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous seruant iustifie many; for hee shall beare their iniquities.
1Isaiah prosecutes the same argument. For he shows that after Christ hath suffered death, he shall reap the fruit thereof, from the salvation of men. To the words shall see therefore, must be supplied the fruit and efficacy. Surely these things contain wonderful consolation in them: for Isaiah could no way better express Christs infinite love to us, then in showing that he takes a singular pleasure in the work of our salvation: and doth herein as it were refresh himself, as with the fruits of his own labours. Even as one that rejoiceth to see that which above all things he desired to inioy•, as if nothing but that could content him.
