Isaiah 44:4

Isa 44:4 And they shall spring up [as] among the grass, as willows by the water courses.

Ver. 4. As willows by the water courses. ] Not only as the grass, but by a further growth, as the willows, which are often looped, sed ab ipso vulnere vires sumunt, but soon thrust forth new branches; and though cut down to the bottom, yet will grow up again; a so will the Church and her children.

a Uberius resurgunt, altiusque excrescunt.
