Vers. 22.
Yea, great people and mightie nations shall come to seeke the Lord of hostes in Ierusalem,* 1.1 and to* 1.2 pray before the Lord.
HEre also are two other circumstances expressed, namely, the qualitie or dignitie it self of the people which shall ioyne them∣selues with the Iewes to seeke the true God: and the place,* 1.3 where they shall seeke him. As for their dignitie, the same is here set forth two-fold, namely, their multitude, and their excellencie. For (many shall come).* 1.4 The which is set against the small people, which then dwelled in Iudea. And the selfe same shall be mightie nations, the which shall excell among the rest in same, power, and rule bea∣ring. Whereby the Church of God shall bee the more ioyfull▪ and greater, [unspec 1] and the glorie thereof the more cleere, and renowed. The place also is set downe, [unspec 2] whither these people shall come, to 〈◊〉〈◊〉, Ie∣rusalem it selfe, the chiefe and head citie of the Iewes, that they should vnderstand that they haue therefore a most iust and most true cause of ioy,* 1.5 and that they are indeed honoured by God. A•••• the Prophet by the way setteth downe a reason, why these people shall come vnto that place especially, namely, because the face or
descriptionPage 1015
presence of the Lord shalbe there. He calleth the face of God those visible signes of the presence of God, which were at Ierusalem, namely, the Temple it selfe, and the sacrifices which were offered in the Temple. So then the people did seeke that place, not being mo∣ued with the consideration of the soyle or land it selfe, nor with the dignitie of the walles and stones, nor with the riches or excellencie of the people of the Iewes: but for that there were there at that time the manifest tokens of the presence of God, such as now are the pure preaching of his word or of the Gospell, and the sincere or true administration of the Sacraments ordained by himselfe.
