The wayes of Christ are unsearchable for this knowledge might well come among the heathens by the Iews daily conference and by preaching the word among them in their Synagogues and by the Septuagints translation The Septuagints translation was much used among them Saint Luke and the Apostles chiefly used that translation and cite many times the Text of their translation as learned men observe and the godly Proselites did much read it doubtlesse and the prophane heathen might also read it because Horace and Ovid mock at their Sabbatismes as the Chaldeans had done It is also as true they might have knowledge by the Iews being so dispersed and having Synagogues in all great Cities by which means Iews matters would ●e much celebrated Beloved Reader if we were better versed in the holy Scriptures of the Son of God we should know more of him and the mannaging of his Mediatorian Kingdome in mercy and severity from Gen 3 15. cocerning the holy Seed and the Seed of the Se●pent SECT 3.

But for answer we ought to understand the warriour● there and here are of divers times and peoples and places as is above noted That of Exckiel is of Israel and the low Jerusalem this of Gog and Magog in the Apocalyps is meant of the troublers of the Church the holy City from heaven wheresoever and that at divers times 2.

David foretold them this David shewed his house could not be upright with God but would be thornes and must be burnt and that therefore they should expect a better King and Kingdom So the revolting and wavering Hebrews through misbelief concerning Christs Kingdome and Priesthood would prove to be but thornes and briars whose end was burning Psalm 22 40. 95. 2 Sam. 23.
