I have stretched out my hands: As the Hen clocks her Chickens to her, putteth forth her wings, and spreads her feathers to cherish them with her warmth; or as a Mother calls her childe, and holds forth her arms to embrace it in tender affection: So did God deale with the Jewes, seeking to gather them into the bosome of his love.Elnathan Parr, "Commentary on Romans," in The Works of that Faithful and Painful Preacher, Mr Elnathan Parr, 4th edition (London: Printed by Ed Griffen and Wi Hunt, 1651), 137.
