lord_n of_o host_n the_o god_n of_o israel_n as_o yet_o they_o shall_v use_v this_o speech_n in_o the_o land_n of_o judah_n and_o in_o the_o city_n thereof_o when_o i_o shall_v bring_v again_o their_o captivity_n the_o lord_n bless_v thou_o o_o habitation_n of_o justice_n and_o mountain_n of_o holiness_n we_o be_v here_o present_v with_o a_o comfortable_a vision_n in_o the_o prophecy_n of_o jeremiah_n the_o man_n who_o for_o the_o most_o part_n be_v fill_v wi●h_a bitterness_n and_o have_v his_o pen_n dip_v in_o water_n of_o gall_n that_o like_o a_o comet_n foretell_v the_o fate_n of_o king_n and_o kingdom_n that_o denounce_v sword_n famine_n pestilence_n captivity_n and_o such_o like_a judgement_n against_o judah_n for_o their_o apostasy_n impiety_n iniquity_n impenitency_n and_o incorrigibleness_n and_o make_v the_o cup_n of_o divine_a fury_n to_o go_v round_o among_o the_o nation_n he_o have_v now_o and_o then_o a_o little_a sweeten_v put_v into_o his_o mouth_n for_o his_o own_o and_o the_o church_n consolation_n according_o in_o this_o and_o the_o forego_n chapter_n he_o come_v with_o milk_n and_o honey_n in_o his_o mouth_n and_o treat_v prophetical_o of_o the_o restauration_n of_o the_o jew_n the_o come_v and_o kingdom_n of_o the_o messiah_n the_o manifestation_n of_o the_o new_a covenant_n the_o gather_v &_o enlarge_n of_o the_o catholic_n church_n consist_v of_o jew_n and_o gentile_n with_o all_o the_o happy_a turn_n and_o return_n of_o the_o church_n of_o god_n in_o general_n and_o of_o the_o jew_n in_o particular_a till_o the_o time_n come_v that_o they_o shall_v not_o be_v pluck_v up_o nor_o throw_v down_o any_o more_o for_o ever_o but_o i_o confine_v myself_o to_o my_o text._n the_o word_n read_v contain_v a_o prophecy_n with_o its_o preface_n the_o prophecy_n be_v in_o these_o word_n as_o yet_o they_o shall_v use_v this_o speech_n in_o the_o land_n of_o judah_n and_o in_o the_o city_n thereof_o when_o i_o shall_v bring_v again_o their_o captivity_n the_o lord_n bless_v thou_o o_o habitation_n of_o justice_n and_o mountain_n of_o holiness_n i_o call_v this_o a_o prophecy_n because_o the_o matter_n and_o scope_n be_v especial_o prophetical_a yet_o be_v there_o doctrinal_a and_o historical_a hint_n evident_a enough_o in_o they_o if_o we_o consider_v what_o be_v imply_v as_o well_o as_o what_o be_v express_v and_o it_o serve_v our_o occasion_n to_o improve_v what_o be_v doctrinal_a and_o historical_a in_o they_o as_o well_o as_o what_o be_v prophetical_a let_v we_o therefore_o look_v over_o the_o word_n again_o and_o search_v out_o the_o content_n more_o diligent_o and_o distinct_o 1._o and_o then_o we_o shall_v find_v that_o these_o word_n show_v forth_o historical_o what_o the_o land_n of_o judea_n and_o more_o especial_o jerusalem_n former_o have_v be_v viz._n a_o habitation_n of_o justice_n and_o mountain_n of_o holiness_n 2._o that_o then_o they_o be_v salute_v by_o man_n and_o bless_v of_o god_n 3._o that_o at_o the_o time_n when_o this_o prophecy_n be_v write_v they_o be_v far_o from_o be_v a_o habitation_n of_o justice_n or_o mountain_n of_o holiness_n 4._o and_o that_o they_o be_v as_o far_o from_o be_v bless_v of_o god_n and_o man_n as_o they_o be_v from_o be_v a_o habitation_n of_o justice_n and_o mountain_n of_o holiness_n these_o four_o particular_n result_v from_o the_o word_n as_o yet_o or_o yet_o again_o as_o some_o read_v it_o for_o the_o particle_n yet_o note_v not_o a_o continuation_n of_o something_o in_o be_v but_o a_o restauration_n of_o something_o that_o former_o have_v be_v in_o be_v but_o now_o for_o some_o time_n have_v be_v intermit_v 2._o these_o word_n show_v forth_o doctrinal_o what_o judea_n and_o jerusalem_n always_o shall_v have_v be_v viz._n a_o habitation_n of_o justice_n and_o mountain_n of_o holiness_n for_o if_o while_o they_o be_v holy_a and_o righteous_a they_o be_v happy_a and_o prosperous_a and_o upon_o their_o degeneration_n their_o felicity_n depart_v and_o woeful_a misery_n ensue_v and_o be_v like_a to_o continue_v till_o their_o reformation_n no_o doubt_n in_o point_n of_o duty_n they_o ought_v always_o to_o have_v be_v a_o habitation_n of_o justice_n and_o mountain_n of_o holin_n £_o 3._o these_o word_n as_o they_o be_v prophetical_a be_v also_o promissory_a they_o contain_v a_o threefold_a promise_n 1._o the_o promise_n of_o a_o happy_a restauration_n from_o their_o captivity_n in_o these_o word_n when_o i_o shall_v bring_v again_o their_o captivity_n that_o be_v their_o captive_n the_o abstract_n be_v

again_o from_o the_o land_n of_o the_o enemy_n 2._o the_o promise_n of_o a_o holy_a reformation_n of_o the_o jew_n from_o their_o present_a impiety_n and_o iniquity_n for_o when_o it_o be_v say_v they_o shall_v use_v this_o speech_n o_o habitation_n of_o justice_n and_o mountain_n of_o holiness_n it_o mean_v this_o speech_n shall_v be_v due_o and_o true_o use_v jerusalem_n shall_v not_o only_o

from_o the_o speech_n than_o we_o may_v infer_v god_n promise_v that_o religion_n and_o righteousness_n shall_v flourish_v again_o in_o the_o land_n of_o judah_n and_o in_o the_o city_n thereof_o 3._o the_o promise_n of_o a_o divine_a benediction_n man_n shall_v wish_v it_o they_o and_o god_n will_v give_v it_o they_o they_o shall_v yet_o again_o use_v this_o speech_n the_o lord_n bless_v thou_o
