THus saith the Lord, Behold I will lift up my hand to the Gentiles,* 1.1 and set up my standard (i.e. the Gospell) to the people, and they shall bring their sonnes in their armes, and thy daughters shall be carried upon their shoulders, and Kings shall be thy nursing Fathers, and Queenes thy nur∣sing Mothers: that is, GOD will stirre up the Princes of the Earth to be a protection to it,
and to shrow'd it under the wings of their authority. The Apostle Iohn speaking of the new Jerusalem, saith,* 1.2 the Kings of the earth shall bring their glory to it, Rev. 21.24.
Other sheepe I have (saith our Saviour, meaning the Gentiles not yet called) which are not of this fold, them also must I bring, and they shall heare my voyce, and there shall be one fold and one shep∣heard, Joh. 10.16.
And the Gentiles shall come to thy light,* 1.3 and Kings to the bright∣nesse of thy rising. The aboun∣dance of the Sea shall be converted un••o thee, the forces of the Gen∣tiles shall come unto thee. Who are these that fly as a cloud, and as the doves to their windowes?* 1.4 they are the words of the Church, wondering, as it were at the sight of such a propagation, as a cloude and Doves: it is a pro∣phesie of the Gentiles converted, they fly as a cloud, that is, most swiftly, and shall in such f••ocks
come into the Church, as if a whole flight of Doves driven by some hawke or tempest, should scoure into the Columbary and rush into the windows. The Prophet Esay almost in every Chapter speaketh of the vocati∣on of the Gentiles, as the 2. & 9. the 11. the 18. the 42. and 45.
