Vers. 1.

I will stand vpon my watch, and set me vpon the towre, & will looke and see what he would say vnto me, and what I shall answer to him that rebuketh me.

* 1.1THis Chapter containeth another Sermon of Habacuck, in re∣spect of argument or matter agreeing, I confesse, with the for∣mer, but the which notwithstanding seemeth both to haue been made, and also shewed by God a long time after the former, name∣ly, after that the Prophet fastening both his minde and also his eyes vpon the miserie described before, had prayed vnto God, and re∣quired some matter to comfort the godly with all. The which at the length was offered vnto him by God. For in regard of the great faithfulnes of God his prouidence, and care for those that are his, & for the state of this whole world, the Prophet hoped that there was by God prepared some comfort for the godly, albeit that he sawe before nothing but confusion, or things in his iudgement hudled vp together farre out of square and order. And this Sermon hath two parts,* 1.2 namely, a reason of the vision shewed vnto the Prophet: and a reporting and declaration of the same,* 1.3 the which partly com∣forteth the godly, and partly sheweth the destruction of the Chal∣deans, and the causes of the same.

* 1.4As for this first verse, it is the first part of this Sermon, wherein the Prophet teacheth, by what meanes and when there was shewed vnto him by God a more louing vision. And first of all he telleth, that at the length he tooke heart, and recouered himselfe from out of so great an encombrance, and dispute, or complaining against God, the which condemning, he calleth a reprehension or reproof and rebuke made of himselfe, and with most assured confidence or trust hoped for the peculiar and especiall care of God concerning those that are his, and that he wayted a long time for another vision from God, whereby the former might be mitigated or eased.
