In the words we observe two general parts 1. The Churches complaint under very great calamity and disappointment, ver. 18. 2. Her triumph over all her enemies and sufferings, ver. 19. The complaint being expressed by the metaphor of ⟨p. 7⟩conception and parturition intimateth. 1. The Greatness of their affliction. 2. The Contrivances they used to procure deliverance from it. 3. The disappointment of them all; we have brought forth wind, as elsewhere ye shall conceive chaff, and shall bring forth stubble, Isa. 33. 11.

In the Triumph we may consider, 1. The Matter of it, Deliverance from the lowest to the best condition, from death to life, from a carcass to a Resurrection, from corruption to glory, from dust to singing. 2. The Reasons of it, 1. In regard of the subject, Mortui tui, Gods dead men, Cadaver meum, the Churches dead body. 2. In regard of the Author and virtue whereby it should be effected, the Word, the Power, the Spirit of God metaphorically expressed, Ros tuus, Thy dew is as the dew of herbs.
