Now therefore we know why the praise of the City was added, even to be a great City, for that Jonah might prepare him self to undertake and pass through this battle, least he afterward in the middest of his course should faint. But mark, that the fear of this thing, even that the City was great and populous, did in the beginning wonderfully dismay him, insomuch that he fled from the calling of God. But now he is nothing moved with the greatness of that City, but constantly he followeth the Lord, whether he calleth him: we see therefore how faith when it once hath gotten the victory in our hearts, doth mount aloft over all impediments, and contemneth all the greatness & glory of this world. Now by and by is there added.
