I pray the Reader to pause over these sweet verses, and read them again and again: it is impossible to read them too often. The Lord had once before given the same blessed promises to his afflicted ones, Jeremiah 30:10 : but such is his grace, and the exceeding riches of his grace, that he will repeat the gracious assurances. And Reader! I pray you, as you read these verses, recollect, that they belong to the Israel of God, in all ages, even Jesus's Church forever. Amidst all our unworthiness and rebellions, as in the Church's history, so in the Church's history through all ages, the Lord hath respect to his own glorious name, and to his Covenant promise in Christ. See the precious scriptures, Ezekiel 20:1 and Romans 11:1.
