A46816	Annotations upon the whole book of Isaiah wherein first, all such passages in the text are explained as were thought likely to be questioned by any reader of ordinary capacity : secondly, in many clauses those things are discovered which are needful and useful to be known, and not so easily at the first reading observed : and thirdly, many places that might at first seem to contradict one another are reconciled : intended chiefly for the assistance and information of those that use constantly every day to read some part of the Bible ... / by Arthur Jackson.

shall never thirst 4. That by these words And he that hath no Money come ye buy and eat yea come buy Wine and Milk without Money and without price to wit any thing given in exchange for them instead of Money I say hereby is not so much meant as I conceive that the Poor are invited to come as well as the Rich as that all are invited to come freely and to accept of that Mercy and Life that is tendered in Christ though they are nothing though they have nothing and can do nothing towards the obtaining of this bliss and happiness even those that are most sensible of their Spiritual Poverty and Indigency in this regard The same that was before meant by coming to the Waters is here again meant by buying Wine and Milk only it is expressed by these other kinds of Food to imply the sweet and comfortable refreshing that Men shall find in this Spiritual Food and that all good that Sinners can want or desire is to be had in Christ and that there is provision for all sorts of People Milk for Children and Wine for those that are of grown years yea and that they shall have as sure an interest in what is tendered without Money and without Price as if they had bought it And 5. That by the frequent repeating and urging of this Invitation is implyed both Mens backwardness in accepting the Grace here tendered them and Gods earnestness that they should be perswaded and won to accept it Ver. 2. Wherefore do ye spend Money for that which is not Bread c. That is That which is not true Food See the Note Chap. 3.1 and your labour that is the Money you have gotten by your labour for that which satisfieth not that is that which will neither asswage your hunger nor nourish you and cause you to live It is as if he had said Why do you so eagerly pursue sparing neither cost nor labour that which will no way profit you that is that which will afford no furtherance for the obtaining of that Soul-satisfying bliss and happiness which in Christ is tendered to you And hereby is meant 1. The greedy pursuit of the things of the World which a Man is not sure to obtain and cannot long hope to enjoy and which whilst he doth enjoy them cannot satisfie the thirst and desires of his Soul nor make him happy 2. All strictness and diligence in false superstitious Will-worships which would provoke God to displeasure instead of pleasing him and were never like to bring them to Life Eternal Matth. 15.9 And 3. All false Doctrines concerning the way of attaining Gods favour here and Eternal Life and Happiness such as that of the Scribes and Pharisees of Mens being saved by their own works and righteousness See Tit. 3.5 Hearken diligently unto me as if he should have said And by a constant observing the direction of my word you shall be sure to prevent all such mistakes and eat you that which is good that is that which is really good that which is Bread indeed that which will indeed procure Gods Love and Favour comfort you here and preserve you unto Life Eternal and let your Soul delight it self in fatness that is you shall have abundance of the choicest and chiefest good even that which will fully delight and satisfie your So●ls See the Note Psal 36.8 Ver. 3. Incline your Ear and come unto me c. See the Note above ver 1. and Psal 45.10 hear and your Souls shall live See the Note Psal 22.26 and I will make an everlasting Covenant with you wherein is implyed 1. A renewing and confirming of that Covenant of Grace which God had made with their Fathers in and through the Lord Christ which was for the substance of it an everlasting Covenant as if he should have said Though you have on your part broken Covenant with me and though in the Babylonian Captivity I may seem to have cast you off and the Kingdom setled upon Davids Posterity may seem to be utterly ruined yet fear not I will renew and confirm that my Covenant with you And 2. The making of a new Covenant with them to wit the Covenant of the New Testament confirmed with the blood of Christ which though it were the same in substance with that which God made with his People under the Old Testament yet it was a new Covenant in regard of the new manner of the dispensation of it many ways and may be here called an everlasting Covenant in opposition to that which was before because it was to continue for ever and not to be abrogated as that which God made with the Jews was As for the following words even the sure Mercies of David some by David here understand Christ as he is elsewhere called Ezek. 34.25 and Hos 3.5 because he was that Messiah whom God had promised of the seed of David and accordingly by the sure Mercies of David they understand those stable Mercies which God had promised and covenanted in and through the Lord Christ the Mediator of the Covenant See the Note Chap. 49.18 to confer upon his People But again others understand it of King David and so by the sure Mercies of David they understand either Mercies that should as surely be performed to his People as those were for which he had engaged himself by Covenant to David or else rather the very Mercies which he had promised to David and in and through him as the Father and Type of Christ unto his Church and People 2 Sam. 7. c. and Psal 89.4 35 c. namely that God would give unto David a Son that should save his People and that should reign over them for ever And hence it was that the Apostle Paul alledged this place to prove the Resurrection of Christ Act. 13.34 And as concerning that he raised him up from the Dead now no more to return to Corruption he said on this wise I will give you the sure Mercies of David For the Promise made to Christ or to David concerning Christ the Eternity of his Kingdom and the Mercies he should procure for his People could not have taken effect if after he was Crucified he had not been raised again from the dead Ver. 4. Behold I have given him c. To wit Christ See the Note Chap. 9.6 who in the foregoing Verse was called David or at least intended as the Son and Successour of David the Mediator of the Covenant the Mercies whereof are there called the sure Mercies of David I saith God the Father have ordained him for a witness to the People that is to make known and testifie to the Gentiles the Counsel of God concerning Mans Salvation and by accomplishing what God had foretold should be to testifie and make good the Faithfulness of God Whence was that of our Saviour to Pilate To this end was I born and for this cause came I into the World that I should bear Witness unto the Truth
