Isa 49.6 This light the Prophet saw the Gentiles should come to and Kings to the brightness of thy rising And saith the Lord by his Prophet It is a light thing that thou shouldest be my servant to raise up the Tribes of Jacob take notice and restore the preserved of Israel take notice again I will give thee for a light to the Gentiles that thou mayest be my salvation to the ends of the earth Now mind the light to the Gentiles and salvation to the end of the earth which now the Gentiles profess the Prophet who was in the life saw this and many as it s said before do witness this light to the Gentiles and salvation to the ends of the earth the Redeemer of Israel the raiser up of the Tribes of Iacob and this is the Redeemer of Israel the Holy One to him whom man deipiseth to him whom Nations abhorreth to a servant of Rulers Kings shall see and arise ver 7.

in prison Now you who have had the words declared forth from the Prophets and Moses but not being guided with that spirit that gave them forth you see not the captive but are captives sees not him that brings deliverance and heals the broken hearted and recovers to the blinde their sight and sets at liberty them that are bruised that leads captivity captive and gives deliverance to the captive and this is not known till you come to the covenant of Light And when Ezekiel was among the Captives at the River of Keba the Heavens were opened and he saw the Vision of God Mark when he was among the captives and he was to go to them of the captivity and speak to them and after he was commanded to speak to the captives the Spirit of the Lord took him up and brought him to them So consider now you that have had the Prophets words but not knowing him that is on High that leads captivity captive being found out of the life are scattered abroad but hearken to the Light that will discover your iniquity whereby your captivity may be turned away whereby you may come to the life of the Prophets and Moses with which you may see Christ Lam. 2.14 For Ieremiah did lament the falsness of the Prophets which had not discovered their iniquity which might have turned away their captivity that you might come to know the voice of the Bridegroom the voice of joy the voice of gladness and the voice of them that say Praise the Lord of Hosts for his mercie endures for ever And of them that bring the Sacrifice of Praise into the House of the Lord. I will cause to return the captivity of the Land as at first saith the Lord now know this captivity led captive and this captivity returned And was it not often that Ierusal●m and the children of Israel were car●i●d into captivity for transgressing of the righteous Law of God and did no● the Enemie come upon you which trod down the Wall of Ierusalem which was before Christ was manifest in the flesh which after came and was manifest in the flesh according to the saying of the Prophet which shewed the coming of the Just one who when he was come among you that had the words of Moses and the Prophets but being out of the life saw not that which Moses and the Prophets saw and the Prophet said Jerusalem should be laid waste and compassed with Armies the Wall thrown down and you scattered Is not the word of this Prophet fulfilled among you and upon you had you been in the life as Moses was in and the Prophets and Abraham you would have seen the glory of Israel him whom God raised up to sit on Davids Throne the Hope that all the Fathers hoped for Now your Fathers being out of the life though they had the words knew not the Substance when he was come but on the contrary delivered him up to the Gentiles to be crucified which Gentiles trod your city under foot and they cried crucifie him crucifie him and desired his blood might be upon their Heads Now Jacob comes to be saved from his captivity and Israel shall return to his rest and I will be found of you saith the Lord and will turn away your captivity and will gather you from all the Nations and from all the places where I have driven you and will bring you again to this place saith the Lord whence I caused you to be carried away Captive when you come to the life of the Law this you shall witness Now wait in the light that you may come to witness this Promise fulfilled for the Lords flock hath been carried away captive but now is the Lord redeeming and gathering with his power them out of captivity and leading captivity captive And saith the Lord I will gather the Remnant of my Sheep out of all the countreys where I have driven them and bring them again to their Fold and they shall grow and encrease and I will set one Shepherd over them which shall feed them they shall dread no more nor be afraid neither shall they lack any thing saith the Lord for the day is come saith the Lord that I will raise unto David a righteous branch and a King shall reign and prosper and shall execute justice and judgement in the earth Now this Branch this King this Shepherd this Fold do we witness that are his lambs his sheep and are come to witness the life that Moses was in and the Prophets were in and David was in from which life the Scriptures was given forth to be believed and fulfilled which we see with the same that gave them forth Isa 14. and the Son we see to reigne and the Lord is cutting off according to his promise Babel his Name and his Remnant Son and Nephew and there shall be a High-way for the Remant of his people which shall be left from Assyria like as it was unto Israel in the day when he came up out of the land of Aegypt Of this take notice In that day shall the Remnant of Israel and such as have escaped of the House of Iaccb stay no more on him that smote them mark on him that smote them but shall stay upon the Lord the Holy One of Israel in truth The Remnant shall return even the Remnant of Jacob to the Mighty God for though thy people O Israel be as the Sand of the Sea yet a Remnant of them shall return and there is a Remnant that keeps the commands of God And did not the Lord speak to Ezekiel That your Fathers should be carried away captive and the time is come that whosoever shall call on the Name of the Lord shall be saved for in Mount Zion and Jerusalem shal be deliverance as the Lord hath said and the Remnant whom the Lord shall call And the Remnant of the Philistines shall perish Seek good and not evil Amos 5. hate the evil and love the good and establish Judgement in the Gate It may be the Lord of Hosts will be merciful to the Remnant of Joseph though the number of Israel be as the sand of the Sea yet a Remnant shall be saved Even so at this present time there is a remnant through the election of Grace and now is the Remnant known that doth give glory to God And thus saith the Lord to your Fathers who changed his Judgements into wickedness and his Statutes more then the wicked I will execute Judgement in thee I will do unto thee that I never did before neither will I do any more the like I wil execute Judgement in thee the whole Remnant of thee will I scatter in all the winds And these things and many more this Prophet doth relate which was done to your Fathers and what they should act and do they who are out of the life of the law But now such as be in the life of the law Prophets and Christ can
to the people upon it and spirit to them that walk therein I the Lord have called thee in Righteousness and will hold thy hand and will keep thee and give thee for a Covenant of the people for a light of the Gentiles Now this Covenant to the people and this light to the Gentiles that the Prophet speak of the Gentiles witness now the light and the people witness this Covenant of God and Gods promise fulfilled And them that were Ministes of this Covenant were sent to turn the Gentiles from darkness to the light and chose Iews and those Gentiles that did believe in the Light did believe the everlasting Covenant and did receive the everlasting Covenant and the glory of Israel and this brought in the Gentiles to light which broke down the Partition-wall between the Iew and the Gentile and of twain made one new man which covenant of Light the Prophet saw before he was come and when he was come your fathers owned him not neither received though by signs and wonders and miracles confirmed he his Ministry that he came from God yet said they blasphemously which had the Prophets words and Moses words but out of the life of both That by Beelzebub the Prince of the devils he cast them out And here they having the words and not the life when the thing was come that the words spoke of they that had the words knew him not and the Gentiles their mindes being alienated from the life of God and strangers from the Covenant of promise and Common-wealth of Israel to them the light was promised and that to it the Gentiles should come which many did and do now injoy and know the unsearchable Riches that are hid in God Christ Iesus And the Iews and the Gentiles receiving the Light the Covenant of promise they come to be baptized with the spirit into the one body and that Covenant of Light which brings in the Gentiles le ts see the end of the first covenant that doth decay and le ts see the everlasting covenant Christ Iesus wh● came to fulfil the Law and not to break it heaven and earth shall pass away but not one tittle of the Law shall pass away Psal 19.7 the Law is perfect converting the soul and brings it from under that which was against it and so at this covenant of God the Light of the Gentiles the Iews stumble which covenant the Prophets prophesied of and your fathers in those dayes stood against and so here is the saying fulfilled Ps 69.22 The builders rejected the corner stone and as David said Their Table became a snare a trap and a stumbling-block and a recompence unto them And hath it not been so I say then have they stumbled that they should fall Rom. 11.11 God forbid but rather through their fall salvation is come unto the Gentiles for to provoke them to jealousie take notice of that Now if the fall of them be the Riches of the world Vers 12. and the diminishing of them mark the riches of the Gentiles how much more their fulness I speak to you Gentiles So here who are come into the life of Moses and the Prophets do witness that which Moses and the Prophets said should come to pass That Christ should suffer and rise from the dead and shew light to the people and to the Gentiles in which Light Iews and Gentiles are one I will make an everlasting covenant with you saith the Lord Isa 54.55 56. even the sure mercies of David behold I will give him for a witness to the people a leader and commander to the people Behold thou shalt call a Nation that knew thee not and nations that knew thee not shall run unto thee Now this everlasting covenant is witnessed to which Nations run and the people witness the leader which you that had the covenant which did decay stood against and do injoy the covenant of peace and authority which you do not that have not the life which I will not remove saith the Lord that hath mercy on thee and every one that keeps from polluting takes hold of this covenant As for me this is my covenant with them saith the Lord my Spirit that is in thee c. So the everlasting Covenant is witnessed which doth not decay with which is seen that which doth decay I will make an everlasting covenant with them and their seed shall be known among the Gentiles and saith the Lord My glory shall be declared among the Gentiles and I will take of them for Priests and Levites saith the Lord And behold saith the Lord the days come that I will make a new Covenant with the House of Israel and with the House of Iudah not according to the covenant which I made with their Fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to bring them out of the Land of Egypt which covenant they brake though I was an husband to them saith the Lord but this shall be the covenant which I will make with the House of Israel After those dayes I will put my law into their inward parts and write it in their hearts and will be their God and they shall be my people and they shall teach no more every man his neighbor and every man his brother saying Know the Lord for they shall all know me from the greatest to the least saith the Lord for I will forgive their iniquities and I will remember their sins no more Mind this you that have this first covenant which was given to your fathers when they came out of the Land of Egypt but saith the Lord I will make a new covenant not according to the covenant I made with your fathers which was to decay for there you had a Law in Tables of Stone writ but here in this covenant you shall have the Law written in your hearts with which you shall come to know the Lord and need not say Know the Lord And here is the Covenant which is everlasting Now the covenant which was made with your fathers while that was standing you were to be taught the Lord but this covenant being witnessed and received the Law-Writer in your hearts you shall no more every man teach his brother and his neighbor saying Know the Lord for all shall know him from the greatest to the least And now thousands do witness this second covenant this everlasting covenant not according to that covenant given to your Fathers in Tables of Stone but the everlasting covenant w●i●ten in the heart where they know the Lord And these witness the second cove●a●t where the iniquities are forgiven Ier. 31. and the sins and transgressions the Lord will remember no more If these Ordinances depart from before me saith the Lord then shall the seed of Israel cease from being a Nation before me for ever and I will give them one heart and one way that they may fear me for ever for the good of them and of
