Isaias — Chapter 58
These annotations are from the original 1609 Douay Old Testament, the first complete English Catholic Bible translation, produced by English scholars in exile at the English College of Douai. The archaic spelling is preserved.
This content was digitized from the original 1609 Douay (Old Testament) and 1582 Rheims (New Testament) print editions by OCR. The OCR process sometimes confused print page numbers with verse numbers, and may have assigned annotations to the wrong chapter. Chapter and verse labels on this page reflect the OCR output from the original print pagination and may not correspond to canonical Scripture chapter/verse numbers. For canonical reference, consult a standard Douay-Rheims edition. The annotation texts themselves are authentic 1609/1582 Douay-Rheims content.
Verse 1
Many sinners are so fast asleepe in their wickednes, that they can not heare ordinarie admonitions: to such therfore Gods Preachers must crie, and not cease to crie, as with a loude trumpet.
Verse 5
Fasting alone without amendment of euil manners, & without other good workes, doth not appease Gods wrath. Yet being ioyned with contrition of hart, and sincere pietie, doth then greatly please him. S. Ierom teacheth how it behoueth to fast effectually from sinne.
