And saith he in the last verse, When I turn back your Captivity before your eyes. Sometimes a mans name is vindicated when he is dead; God vindicates him from reproach when he is dead: But saith he, I will get you fame and praise, even before your eyes; In the very places where you have been put to shame, there will I get you fame and name, and your eyes shall see this: So that thus then you see the Parallel; If that the Saints and people of God be sensible of the reproach of the Solemn Assembly, God will turn their former Miseries, into after Mercies, and he will cause their after Comforts to run parallel with their former trouble.
By way of Application then:
If these things be so. First, rejoice not over us O our enemies; for though we be fallen, yet we shall rise again. Speak no more arrogantly O ye Children of man, though the righteous fall seven times, he shall rise again.
