First, The good plight of their young ones, They are in good liking. As if it had been said, Though the Hinds have much pain in bringing them forth, yet they are slick and fat, as soon as, or soon after they are brought forth. The word which we render in ⟨p. 323⟩good liking, notes a growing into health and strength,1 which we call recovering (Isa. 38.9, 16.) The writing of Hezekiah King of Judah, when he had been sick and was recovered, &c. And 'tis said of Naaman (2 Kings 5.14.) his flesh came to him, or he recovered his flesh, as the flesh of a little Child. The same word is used (Psal. 126.1.) When the Lord turned the Captivity of Zion, we were like to them that dream; which others translate thus, and conceive it nearer the Original Text, When the Lord turned the Captivity of Zion, then we were like them that are fed and grow fat at the dug, and so are cheerly or in a comfortable condition. Thus the Hinds young ones grow fat, lusty, and strong; As the Lord takes care for their bringing forth, so of their bringing up; he that maketh the Hinds to calve, makes their calves of good liking too; as he makes the Babe thrive at the Mothers breast, so the Calf at the Hinds dug. And when they have a while grown fat at the dam's dug, then Secondly, They grow up with Corn.
