the virgin the daughter of Zion hath despised thee, and laughed thee to scorn, the daughter of Jerusalem hath shaken her head at thee. The daughter of Zion, and the daughter of Jerusalem are but one and the same; she was called a virgin, not (as some have conceived) because she was never taken or forced by any enemy; nor was she so called, because he had preserved her self pure and chaste in the worship of the true God (For she had her failings and Idolatrous dalliances before that day) but she was so called because of that special care which God had of her to protect and save her against the insultations of the enemy then ready to assault her, even as a virgin is protected from violence in her fathers house. And the Prophet to assure them that it should be so, speaks of the ruin of Sennacherib's Army, and Jerusalems laughter, as accomplished and come to pass already; The virgin daughter &c. hath despised thee, and laughed thee to scorn, and shaken her head at thee. What God saith shall be done, is as good as done already. The Assyrians were yet in their Jollity, laughing at Jerusalem, and promising themselves the spoil of the people of God, yet (saith the Lord) Jerusalem hath laughed thee to scorn; that is, assuredly she shall. And as the people of God do sometimes formally and explicitly laugh at the downfall and witherings of the wicked, so they always virtually and secretly laugh them to ⟨p. 197⟩scorn, even when they stand and flourish in their greenness and prosperity; For while the Godly are not daunted with the power and splendour, while they are not terrified with the threats and high looks of the wicked, but in the singleness and simplicity of their hearts, keep close to God, his ways and truths; even this, though they use the duest respect to them in regard of their authority, both in word and gesture, is a laughing them to scorn; For this is as a thorn in the sides of evil men, and as a prick in their eyes, when they see they will not stoop to their greatness in any sinful compliance with their commands. This is a truth, but the former is the truth intended in this Text.
