your selves and this shall be our controversy hereafter I shall offend you by declaring a Righteousnesse in you which you you may say is too high too great and you be your owne condemners or being reconciled and establishing a Covenant of peace you will then be ashamed of all the evill that you have done 2. Know your sinnes lie upon the Lord they are his he beares them all there is none now under iniquity but Christ you are Righteous the Lord is your Righteousnesse there is a fountaine opened for sin and for uncleannesse to wash in That fire of jealousie in which the Lord appeared in my last hath judged and destroyed the wicked one and now appeares your righteousnesse That was an arraignment of the filthy Prince this is a clearing of the holy One and both in the power and truth of God 3. The consideration of your unworthinesse unfitnesse may be to you sad and troublesome it is to me glorious It being the great designe of God to visit his people in a low condition in prison in Babylon and to glorifie himselfe and the riches of his power and mercy to love freely to cover and take away iniquity to blot them out as a thick Cloud God now hath taken your filthy garments from you and cloathed you with beautifull garments and put a crowne upon your heads He gives you beauty for ashes You were burnt to ashes by the wrath of God here 's now beauty for you You are brought forth in your full proportion your originall your feet your first standing and your head the glory of the Lord in eternal praise The holy God takes pleasure to raise the highest buildings out of the lowest and poorest beginnings the more glorious the end the viler and deeper the foundation God that raised the first creation out of a Ch●os and established it upon the waters will raise the new heavens and new earth out of a weake and confused heape of waters a poore and despised people And there where men looked not for him will he appeare Out of Nazareth from whence no good comes from Egypt a place of thraldome and captivity And thou Bethlehem little among the thousands of Judah out of thee shall he come forth unto me to be Ruler in Israel This man shall be our peace when the Assyrian is in the land And the remnant of Jacob shall be among the Gentiles in the midst of many people as a Lion among the beasts Mic. 5. All which shews that the Lord chuses to manifest himselfe first in those that are beastly gentle ignorant meane despised people and even then when the Assyrian the man of sinne is in the land in them and upon them The Lord hath been with you informer mercies and in late sufferings he appeared amongst you in a spring of blessings since hath lyen downe in disgrace made his grave with the wicked and with the rich in his death he hath beene numbred with transgressours Your sins have slain your Lord your glory and your Lord by death hath borne and slaine your sins you have lien dead because Christ your life hath beene kild your sins but Christ hath died with you in you into you and Sampson-like by his death hath kild all his enemies your transgressions have made his grave there buried themselves and loose their destroying nature in him hanging upon him he how offers up his soule a sacrifice for sinne which is an acceptable and pleasant thing to God who is pleased to see our sins fall by Christs death and smels a sweet savour in that death that takes away the misery and griefe of his people and out of which he rises with them to glory and righteousnesse Now shall he see of the travail of his soule and be satisfied and by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justifie many he had not beene righteous if he had not died but dying under our sins he and we rising together are both righteous It satisfies the Lord to travail with you to travail out of your grave to be in death with you and thence to ascend to glory and it matters not if men be unsatisfied Be you unrighteous in your selves the Lord coming forth out of this obscurity and shining upon you you will say Surely in the Lord have I righteousnesse and strength even to him shall men come and all that are incensed against him shall be ashamed In the Lord shall all the seed of Israel be justified shall glory Confesse the Lord amongst you 't wil justifie you and strengthen you and then they that are incensed against you are incensed against him uncover his face clearly and all will be ashamed to oppose their Lord and so you may goe on in righteousnesse and strength glorying Your way hath beene darke and obscure to your selves and others here is light for you shewing you whence you come and whither you goe Mentioning you from the womb declaring your generation which hath beene cut off and shewing your end or that Canaan that you are going too The Lord is here a Sun and shield no good thing will he with-hold a plain path of justice mercy and goodnesse trodden out to you shewing what you must doe whith●r you must goe and what guide you have to direct you That you are now the mother and womb of the Kingdome into which all is cast and the Father of mercies saies you are the Father too and must bring it forth in perfect and eternall righteousnesse I have no more to say or rather I will ever say and say more strongly and plainly what I have here spoken weakly and darkly Behold the Lord hath proclaimed unto the end of the world Say you to the Daughter of Sion Behold thy salvation cometh behold his reward is with him and his work is before him And they shal cal them the holy people the redeemed of the Lord And thou shalt be called sought out a City not forsaken T is your salvation that is come you shall see evill no more let all the world know it let the news of it fill the dark and troubled earth proclaim it openly he gives you a reward of all your paines and sufferings he brings al good with him you will need no supplyes but what he will daily bring forth to you And his worke is before him T is now cleare what he will doe reigne over the Nations in righteousnesse set up an everlasting Kingdome for the Saints that shall never be destroyed And all must owne you and confesse you to be the holy people holinesse that hath beene the worlds scorn will now be their saviour that which they have derided shall they now trust in your justice and faithfulnesse you are holy with the holinesse of God or holy as your heavenly Father is holy to raine downe blessings upon the just and unjust and to let the Sun of favour and salvation to shine generally upon all upon the evill and the good God hath sought you
