[World 3224] [Uzziah 24] THE vacancy still conti∣nueth [Division. 195] [Uzziah 25] in the Kingdom of [Division. 196] [Uzziah 26] [Uzziah 27] Israel. [Interregnum 9] [Interregnum 10] [Division. 197] [Division. 198]
[Uzziah 28] [Interregnum 11] ESAY II, III, IV. [Division. 199]
[Uzziah 29] [Uzziah 30] [Interregnum 12] [Interregnum 13] Esay the Evangelist is a Pro∣phet [Division. 200] [Division. 201] [Uzziah 31] [Interregnum 14] at Jerusalem. He fore∣telleth [Division. 202] [Uzziah 32] [Interregnum 15] [Interregnum 16] the beginning of the Go∣spel [Division. 203] [Uzziah 33] [Interregnum 17] in the last days of Jeru∣salem, [Division. 204] [Uzziah 34] [Interregnum 18] and the conflux of peo∣ple [Division. 205] [Uzziah 35] [Interregnum 19] to that light of the Lord, [Division. 206] [Uzziah 36] [Interregnum 20] and to that Law that should [Division. 207] [World 3237] [Uzziah 37] come from Sion, as a Law of [Division. 208] [Interregnum 21] old had done from Sinai: that [Interregnum 22] there should be no longer that quarrelling that had been by all Nations against the Jews be∣cause of their Religion, for now Religion should be imbraced by all Nations, that mens reliance upon their own righteousness should be abolished, and the doctrine of Re∣pentance take place. That Christ the Branch shall be glorious, and the members of the new Jerusalem holy: but the people of the times of his Prophesying so abominable that he prayeth against them, Chap. 2. 9. [as Elias had done against the ten Tribes, 1 King. 19. 14.] and threatneth sore destruction and judgments both upon men and women. Thus was it with the people in manners, though it were so prosperous with Uzziah for Victories, the Lord intended to try Judah with kind∣nesses still, as he had done Israel in the days of Jeroboam the second: He fore-saw the issue, he would leave them without excuse, and had something yet to do for the glorifying of his Name, and his Ordinances, before he would deliver his people into his enemies hand.
