Hierom 1conceived these words to be meant of Christ; he shall come as the morning, being called the Son of righteousness, 2the morning-star; and he conceives that it may have reference to the title of the 22. Psal. A Psalm of David, to the chief Musician upon Aijeleth Shahar, that is the morning hind, to wit, Christ, who was sent forth as the morning hind•, and hunted in his infancy and in his life, as the hind is pursued by the hounds.

1If we take the words as they lie before us, they are an expression of Israels confidence in God after a night of trouble, the word [prepared] signifies also decreed, 2it is decreed upon as the morning, and the evening, and as the day follows the night by a decree: Children when they see the Sun a going down will many times cry because they think the Sun will never rise again; but if a man should do so, you would think him very simple. Even thus it is with us, 'tis no wonder to see wicked men in their straits crying out, we are undone, this darkness will never be over, yet such is the baseness of our unbelieving hearts who think when the clouds of sorrow begin to arise, and blackness begins to cover the sun of our prosperity, mercy will never break through, that we are undone, past remedy, and there is no help for us, light will no more appear. But more particularly; observe.
