In the 51. of Isa. 22. Mark how God brings the deliverance of his people from the fear of his wrath, as an argument to strengthen them against all other fears. Behold I have taken out of thy hand the cup of trembling, even the dregs of the Cup of my fury. To what end is this spoken? In the beginning of the next chapter (for Chapters were not divided by the Prophets, but afterward, and therefore they have an immediate connection to one another) Awake, awake, put on thy strength O Zion, put on thy beautiful garments. So saith faith to a believing soul, why art thou afraid of the wrath and displeasure of men, be not fearful, for I have taken out of thy hand the cup of trembling: there was a time wherein there was a cup of trembling in ⟨p. 34⟩thy hand, and thou wert afraid thou shouldest drink of that, I have taken that out of thy hand, and therefore awake, put on strength, be not afraid of man, being thou art delivered from such fear.
