Inference 6.
Was the sword drawn against the Shepherd,1 and he left alone to receive the mortal strokes of it; How should all adore both the Justice, and Mercy of God; so illustriously displayed herein! Here is the Triumph of Divine justice, and the highest Triumph that ever it had, to single forth the chief Shepherd; the man that is Gods fellow; and sheath its sword in his breast for satisfaction. No wonder it's drawn and brandished with such a Triumph, awake rejoicingly, O sword, against my Shepherd, &c. for in this blood shed by it, it hath more glory than if the blood of all the men and women in the world had been shed.
