The opening of the Text.
I will briefly open the words to you, and then drive up such Observations as they will naturally afford; some on whereof I will single out, for the Subject of my present Discourse.
Thus saith the Lord] Jehovah, he that hath power enough to make good his promises; for he is Jehovah, The Fountain of Beings, his own, and every things else that hath a being; and therefore is able to give a being to his promises.
Your Redeemer] The God and Creator of all things, and of all men; but Your Redeemer, that redeems you from Hell and Wrath to come: That redeemed you from Egypt, and from all the Nations whither you have been carried away captive; and will redeem you from Babylon also. He is willing, as well as able; for he is your Redeemer.
