As for the evil of the Sword, that I have already opened in the latter end of the former Chapter. But that which I here would note, is; The abiding of the Sword upon their Cities; From whence observe; That the abiding 1of the Sword it is a sore Judgment. So it was here, for afterwards in the reign of Hoshea then was this Prophecy fulfilled, when Samaria was besieged for three years together. When God threatens fearfully, he threatens the abiding of the Sword; when he doth not only threaten the Sword, but Bathing his Sword, and being filled with blood, and made fat with fatness, and devour, and shall be made Satiate, and made Drunk with blood. All these expressions we have in Scripture, these six expressions, in two Scriptures you have them all. Isa. 34. 5. 6. and 2then Jer. 46. 10. Oh! this is a dreadful thing, for the ⟨p. 112⟩Sword to abide. It hath abode long upon Germany, the Lord hath been angry with them for almost this thirty years: we think three or four years long for the abiding of the Sword.
