ISAIAH 42. 24, 25. Who gave Jacob to the spoil, and Israel to the Robbers? did not I the Lord? he against whom we have sinned; for they would not walk in his ways, neither were they obedient to his Law. Therefore he hath poured upon him the fury of his anger, and the strength of battle; and it hath set him on fire round about, yet he knew not; and it burned him, yet he laid it not to heart.

THE Lord in this Chapter, by the Prophet Isaiah, doth foretell heavy things against the people, and by the way marks the Lords dealings; he ever gives warnings before he sends any plagues; he lightens before he thunders, that the people might not say, they did not hear of it, and that the wicked might be the more inexcusable, and that the godly might make an Ark to save themselves in. These words contain in them five ••veral things. 1. The Author of this Destruction or Judgment. 2 The Causes of it. 3. The Judgment it self. 4. W•• they were on whom this Judgment was inflicted. 5. The Effect of it. Now by Divine permission I will open these word• in order to you.
