the_o lord_n of_o host_n thus_o we_o see_v the_o general_a matter_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n in_o these_o three_o verse_n now_o come_v we_o to_o handle_v they_o particular_o and_o first_o of_o the_o 27._o and_o 28._o verse_n for_o these_o verse_n be_v very_o difficult_a and_o hard_a to_o be_v understand_v as_o esaias_n also_o cry_v cry_v do_v import_v a_o loud_a a_o plain_a a_o bold_a and_o a_o

yet_o but_o a_o remnant_n shall_v be_v save_v the_o word_n remnant_n be_v take_v from_o tradesman_n metaphorical_o who_o use_v to_o cut_v out_o a_o whole_a piece_n of_o cloth_n into_o parcel_n until_o a_o little_a be_v leave_v and_o that_o they_o call_v a_o remnant_n or_o remainder_n so_o a_o remnant_n a_o very_a small_a number_n of_o the_o jew_n shall_v be_v save_v be_v save_v now_o the_o prophet_n he_o say_v not_o a_o remnant_n shall_v be_v save_v but_o shall_v return_v in_o esay_n 10.22_o mean_v historical_o they_o shall_v return_v from_o the_o captivity_n of_o babylon_n yet_o we_o must_v know_v that_o the_o prophet_n under_o the_o title_n of_o return_n do_v intend_v a_o further_a matter_n namely_o a_o spiritual_a return_v a_o return_v to_o god_n as_o he_o say_v in_o the_o 21._o vers_n of_o that_o chapter_n the_o remnant_n of_o jacob_n to_o the_o mighty_a god_n shall_v return_v that_o be_v they_o shall_v repent_v of_o their_o sin_n and_o be_v save_v so_o the_o apostle_n and_o the_o prophet_n do_v well_o agree_v for_o he_o will_v make_v his_o account_n draw_v near_o and_o bring_v it_o to_o a_o short_a sum_n in_o righteousness_n not_o to_o trouble_v you_o with_o variety_n of_o exposition_n with_o which_o this_o verse_n be_v exceed_o vex_v and_o do_v much_o puzzle_v interpreter_n but_o the_o word_n of_o the_o prophet_n esayias_n be_v these_o the_o consumption_n decree_v shall_v overflow_v with_o righteousness_n and_o here_o the_o apostle_n say_v for_o he_o will_v make_v his_o account_n and_o draw_v it_o to_o a_o short_a sum_n in_o righteousness_n and_o for_o the_o understanding_n of_o this_o we_o must_v know_v that_o the_o thing_n intend_v and_o signify_v both_o by_o the_o prophet_n and_o apostle_n be_v this_o as_o we_o may_v easy_o gather_v from_o the_o context_n that_o god_n have_v purpose_v and_o ordain_v to_o bring_v the_o sinful_a and_o unthankful_a people_n of_o the_o jew_n to_o a_o small_a number_n and_o a_o short_a sum_n and_o that_o just_o for_o their_o unthankfulness_n and_o sin_n which_o the_o prophet_n express_v in_o these_o term_n the_o consumption_n decree_v shall_v overflow_v with_o righteousness_n because_o the_o prophet_n know_v
