Commentary upon the Prophecy of Isaiah

¹HE amplifies and sets forth Gods goodness towards his people, showing, that he bestowed benefits upon their •athers whilst they suffered themselves to be conducted by him: yea, he had such care over them, that himself was troubled in their troubles, and bare their miseries and anguishes. In speaking thus, he notes out the inestimable love which God bears towards his chosen. And the Lord also the better to draw and allure us to come unto him speaks after the manner of men, attributing unto himself all the affection, love, and fatherly compassion that can possibly be in them.² And yet it is impossible to think of any love or good will of men in this world, which he far surmounts not.
