From Matth. 12. 20. I am a bruised reed, 1and smoking flax, and therefore Christ hath promised, he will not break such a reed, nor quench the ⟨p. 243⟩smoke of grace, if it be true grace, but he will increase it more and more (as he saith) Until judgement break forth into victory: And he came to set at liberty them that are bruised, Luke 4. 18. Therefore I hope I am such a one as he came to bind up, and set at liberty; Yea, and that he was anointed and sent by his Father to me, and such as I am, Isa. 61. 1.
