An exposition with practical observations continued upon the fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh chapters…

Hezekiah sends to the Prophet, Isa. 37.3. and tells him that it was a day of trouble, and of rebuke, and of blasphemy, as it is with us at this day; therefore saith he, Lift up thy prayer for the remnant which is left: and saith my text, In their afflictions they will seek me early. We have many rumours of peoples gathering together, and each discovering their poor spirits being dejected and cast down with every rumour of fear, my text saith, Come, let us return unto the Lord, for he hath torn and he will heal, he hath smitten and he will bind up, therefore let our conversations be as becometh our text; providence at this time hath cast us upon a very seasonable word the Lord make it as suitable, The words are the beginning of the sixth chapter in the Septuagint translation, & Hierom begins the sixth chapter with these words, and join (come let us return) with them: the words are a prophecy of what the Lord will work in his people Judah, God saith that he will return unto his place, till they acknowledge their sin; and here they say, Come let us return unto the Lord: this was Gods aim in tearing them, and he had his end in it, now from the Connection of these two, Gods wounding, and their returning unto him again, observe.
