And so much concerning their second degree of punishment: the which is amplified by a dissimilitude, vers. 7. Vers. 7 Yet I will have mercy upon the house of Judah, and will save them 1by the Lord their God; and will not save them by bow, nor by sword, nor by battle, by horses, nor by horsemen. In which words is contained a gracious promise to the house of Judah, of that mercy, which in the former verse he refuseth to vouchsafe the house of Israel. Wherein we are to consider, the party to whom this promise is made, namely, the house of Judah: and secondly the benefits which are promised, the which are two fold, first his mercy, and secondly salvation, which is an effect thereof: unto which are annexed the true means, whereby he would save them, to wit, by the Lord their God: and after the false and insufficient means are removed, in which notwithstanding men usually put their confidence; and will not save them by bows.
