Behold this day hath the Lord fulfilled this word of his in our ears before our eyes. And therefore is it that ⟨p. 193⟩we are all here this day met before the Lord, that we may witness unto this his good word and promise, Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and show thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not. In the two last Verses of this Chapter, the Lord promiseth to establish a Covenant with David and raise up a deliverance to the seed of Jacob, and cause them to return out of their captivities, & he will have mercy on them.
