2 There were promises also for the intention of the affections, Isa. 40. 31. They 1that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength, they shall mount up with wings as eagles. The eagle is a bird of the strongest and highest flight of any that flies in the air. So 12 Zach. 8. In that day he that is feeble shall be as David, and the house of David shall be as God. 2So 110 Psal. 3. It is prophesied of the first bringing in of the Gospel, that Thy people shall be a willing people in the day of thy power. And this was to be when God should send forth the rod of his power out of Zion, as it is vers. 2 You know what Hushai said of David, 2 ⟨p. 8⟩Samuel 17. 8. He and his men were 3mighty men, and chased in their minds as a Bear robbed of her whelps in the field. And yet he that is feeble shall be as David. Deodate refers this promise to the beginning of the Gospel, and so Cartwright. That is the second reason.
