buriall place, Isa. 65. 4, 5. God 〈◊〉〈◊〉 of a people that remain among the graves, and lodge in the monuments; which say, stand by thy self, come not near to me, for I am holier then thou, &c. sick 〈◊〉〈◊〉 were of a Noli me tangere, strict in 〈◊〉〈◊〉, 〈◊〉〈◊〉 of foul* 1.1 sinnes. There are that tell us, that the nature of this Potters field is such, as, if a strangers body be laid in it, it consumes it to the* 1.2 bone in four and twenty hours; which it doth not to the body of any Jew. This, if it be true, saith one, it seems God would have the earth thus markt to preserve the memory of the bloudy mony, by which it was purchased: and therefore he gave it a vertue to consume strangers bodies ere they could corrupt, refu∣sing the Jews; to shew how they had lost their priviledge to their own land, by crucifying their Lord, and strangers began to be possest of it. Also, to teach us, that his hope is nearest incor∣ruption, who is the greatest stranger from the sin of the Jews, that is, 〈◊〉〈◊〉 Christ.
