Vers. 16. Doubtless thou art our father: though Abraham be ignorant of us, and Israel know us not, yet thou O Lord, art our father, and our redeemer: thy name is for ever.
Vers. 16. Doubtlesse thou art our father: though Abraham be ignorant of vs, and Israel know vs not, yet thou O Lord, art our father, and our redeemer: thy name is for euer.
The Lord permits us familiarly to pour out our hearts before him.1 For prayer is nothing else but a manifesting of the heart in the presence God; so as the best remedy we have to relieve our cares and anguishes is to lay them up in his bosom. Cast thy burden, saith David, upon the Lord, and he shall nourish thee: Psalm. 55.22. and 37.5. The Prophet then having numbered up Gods benefits towards the Jews, whereby his power and goodness was sufficiently manifested; and yet that men by their sins deprived themselves from tasting the fruit thereof: he now comes to this point; namely, that Gods goodness is so great, that it overcomes mens stubbornness.
THe Lord permits vs familiarly to powre out our hearts before him.1 For prayer is nothing else but a manifesting of the heart in the presence God; so as the best remedie we haue to releeue our cares and anguishes is to lay them vp in his bosome. Cast thy burthen, saith Dauid, vpon the Lord, and he shall nourish thee: Psalm. 55.22. and 37.5. The Prophet then hauing numbred vp Gods benefits towards the Iewes, whereby his power and goodnesse was sufficiently manifested; and yet that men by their sinnes depriued themselues from tasting the fruit thereof: he now comes to this point; namely, that Gods goodnesse is so great, that it ouercoms mens stubbornnesse.
