THE SEVENTH SERMON.
THE SEAVENTH SERMON.
ISAIAH 30. Vers. 19. Vers. 19 Thou shalt weep no more: he will certainly have mercy upon thee at the voice of thy cry: when he heareth thee, he will answer thee.
ISAIAH 30. Vers. 19. Vers. 19 Thou shalt weepe no more: hee will certainely haue mercy vpon thee at the voice of thy cry: when he heareth thee, he will answere thee.
The purpose of these words is, to comfort the elect Jews against those sorrows and miseries that should fall upon the Church, and Common-wealth. Wherein is declared, 1. First, what favour the Lord would show them, viz. 1. That albeit they should taste of the common distresses which befell the rest, and so be in heaviness for a time, yet at length they should be comforted and refreshed; Thou shalt weep no more. 2. More generally the Prophet affirmeth, that he will have mercy upon them: not naming the particulars, because he intended to enrich them with every good blessing needful for their souls or bodies. 2. Secondly, what duty they were to perform, ⟨p. 179⟩namely, to crave this favour at the Lords hands, and that not coldly and slightly, but vehemently and earnestly: and then at the voice of their cry God promiseth to hear them; yea so to hear them, as to answer them, in granting that which they should desire of him: he could no sooner hear their crying voice, but they should feel his helping hand.
