This Chapter, though full of excellent and seasonable truths, will be too long to Analyze; it shall suffice to search back only to the 17 verse, where you find the poor captived Church under despondency of mind, comparing her condition to that of a woman in travail, who hath many sharp pains, and bitter throws, yet cannot be delivered, much like that in 2 Kings 19. 3. The children are come to the birth and there is no strength to bring forth.
