Vers. 4. For since the beginning of the world, they have not heard, nor understand with the ear, neither hath the eye seen another God besides thee, which doth so to him that waiteth for him.
Vers. 4. For since the beginning of the world, they haue not heard, nor vnderstand with the eare, neither hath the eie seene another God besides thee, which doth so to him that waiteth for him.
This verse confirms that which we have said before; namely, that the faithful desire nothing here which is strange and unheard of: but only that God would but show himself such a one towards them, as in times past he had done to their fathers; and that he would continue forth his liberality.
THis verse confirmes that which wee haue said before; namelie, that the faithfull desire nothing here which is strange and vnheard of: but only that God would but shew himselfe such a one towards them, as in times past he had done to their fathers; and that hee would continue foorth his liberalitie.
And withal, seeing it hath been his custom to succour his people, and to give them some assured testimonies of his presence; that he would not now discontinue the same for the time to come: that so his almighty power might still shine more and more. For you must note, that he so brings in the people praying unto God, that therewithal they should confirm their hope from the remembrance of the time past, and with the more boldness might have their recourse to the throne of grace.
