And he measured the City, the Gates thereof, and the Wall thereof.
In that he saith, he measured the Wall 1also, it is to show us that all things now are according to the Rule of the Word: The Inhabitants are according to the Word, the Entrance is according to the Word, yea, and so is the safety of it also, even a Fence to fence them from their Enemies; even a fence on every side, ⟨p. 112⟩that they may be at ease and rest, and be no more a tossing to and fro: O thou afflicted, and •ossed with Tempest, saith he, and not comforted, (I will do many good things for thee) in righteousness shalt thou be established: thou shalt be far from Oppression, for thou shalt not fear; and from Terror, for it shall not come nigh unto thee, Isa. 54. 11, 14.
