Isaiah 4:6

And there shall be a tabernacle for a shadow in the daytime from the heat, and for a place of refuge, and for a covert from storm and from rain.

Ver. 6. And there shall be a tabernacle for a shadow.] Or, He shall be. Christ is a shelter and a shadow to his, whenas all worldly comforts are but as so many burning glasses, to scorch the soul more.
