"THis Text may be called A Divine Plaister for a Sinsick Out-cast: in other words it is Gods Cre of Sion, when incurably Wounded. You have here the Patient described from divers Adjuncts: some Inherent, abiding in the Patient; some Extrinsecal, relating to the Patient. That which is Abiding, is that she is an Out-cast, Wounded, and Sick: That which is Extrinsecal, relateth either to the Spectators, or to the Physician.

I will restore health to thee, and will heal thee of thy wounds: which Affection is amplified, 1. From the Cause, Because they called thee an Out-cast, therefore will I heal thee. 2. From the Infallibility of it, upon the testimony of this Physician; Thus saith the Lord. They say, Thou art an Out-cast: the Lord saith, He will restore her."
This is an edition of a classical book first published in the eighteenth century.
