First, I'le open what is meant by Righteousness, and then Rain.
By Righteousness is meant,1 First, That God will deliver them from oppression, that though they have unrighteous dealing with men, yet they shall have righteous dealing with him. And this is a great mercy to a people that God shall undertake that there shall be nothing but righteous dealings betwixt them and himself.
- 1Righteousness, what?
Secondly, By Righteousness is meant, The fruit of Gods faithfulness in the fulfilling of all those promises of his for good unto them, wherein the Lord doth stile himself Righteous. (Saith he) If you will now plough up your fallow ground, and seek the Lord, the Lord will deliver you from oppression, and the Lord will make good all his faithfulness to you, according to all that good word that he hath promised.
