So Isa: 54. v. 5. Thy maker is thine Husband (the Lord of hosts is his name) and thy Redeemer the holy one of Israel, the God of the whole Earth shall he be called This is yielded as the Reason, why the Church shall not be ashamed nor confounded, in the middest of her Troubles and Trials, she is married unto her Maker, and her Redeemer is her Husband. And Isa. ch: 61. 10. setting out the mutual Glory of Christ and his Church in their walking together, he saith it is, as a Bridegroom decketh himself with ornaments, and as a Bride adorneth her self with Jewels: such is their condition, because such is their Relation: which he also farther expresseth ch. 62. v. 5 As the Bridegroom rejoiceth over the Bride, so shall thy God rejoice over thee. As it is with such persons in the day of their Espousals, in the day of the Gladness of their hearts, so is it with Christ and his Saints in this Relation: He is a Husband to them, providing that it may be with them, according to the state and condition whereinto he hath taken them.
