  • “As also Elisha, when he thought he was alone in the wilderness, was with companies of angels; so in this case, though the people were at first afflicted and in the wilderness, yet those who remained faithful afterwards entered the land of promise.” — editor's note: The reference is to 2 Kings vi. 13–17, though ‘the wilderness’ agrees better with the history of Elijah, 1 Kings xix. 4–8.
