But how was this true? Was not Israel carried into 1captivity, and continued there many years, and never yet ⟨p. 166⟩returned again (as some think) and when they were carried into captivity for three years together, there was a siege at the City, and yet God saith here, He will not execute the fierceness of his anger?

- 1Quest.
For the Answer: That which before was said, will 1give sufficient answer to it, How shall I make thee as Admah, and Zeboim? that is, though God did suffer them to be carried away captive, and their enemies prevailed against them, yet he did not make them as Admah and Zeboim though: There was not the fierceness of Gods anger, the Burning of the anger of God, out against them. And the Lord had even in their carrying into Captivity, yet he had respect to his Elect Ones, and hath to this very day an intention to do them good afterwards: And so we shall find in the next verse, that there is a promise of the returning from their Captivity, and therefore though they were for a long time to continue in Captivity, yet still God did not execute the fierceness of his anger.
