It is a wonderful expression which God useth towards Ephraim, Jer. 31.20. My bowels are troubled for him. Ephraim saith, I smote upon my thigh, and presently God smites upon his heart, and cries out, My bowels are troubled for him, I will have mercy upon him: O ineffable sympathy! answerable whereunto, God hath a cup of consolation prepared in his hand, which he putteth to their mouths, and bids drink, yea, drink abundantly of it, till they forget their sorrows, even that overflowing cup, Fullness of joy and pleasures for ever at his right hand. Ever with the Lord. 1Surely as a father pitieth his children, so the Lord pitieth them that fear him; and such compassions would he have to fill the bowels of all his Evangelical Messengers: 2Comfort ye, comfort ye my people, saith their God, speak ye comfortably to Jerusalem, &c. Thus doth God fill up his Title brim-full, and running over, The Father of mercies, 3and the God of all comfort.
