known and so it is broken off abruptly without adding any words that import what should have followed upon it But this is a figure natural enough to every Language without going to search for a Hebraism There being something in this way of expression that is so tender and languishing that it exceeds any thing that could have come to give it a more regular conclusion In a word it imports that all that is great or good all that they could wish for or desire either with relation to the publick or in their own particular all the Preservations and Deliverances all the Felicities and Prosperity of a Nation might be justly expected from so happy a discovery and such a change in their tempers as first to find out and know and then to seek after the things that belonged to their peace They could not indeed have continued to have been as they had been formerly the People of God with the exclusion of all others but they would still have retained this priviledge that the Gospel was to be offered to the Jew first and then to the Gentiles so that they would have been always the First-born of the Churches of God and if they had received the Messias they might have continued to be the head of all Nations But it was otherwise appointed in the wise and holy Councils of God for reasons which we do not now perfectly understand This only we know that God's rejecting them was the calling of the Gentiles And indeed the tenderness of the expression here used seems to import this that there was no hope of this supposition 's proving real so the words that follow may be considered as the closing the period I need not here enlarge to set before you the blessings that without flattering our selves too much we may reasonably expect upon our setting our selves to find out and to pursue the things that belong to our peace They are both so visible in the Natural Consequences of things and so eminent and great in themselves that I cannot imagine how any one that loves his Religion or Countrey himself or his Posterity can think of them without feeling in himself all the emotions of joy and all the fervency of desire upon so glorious and so amiable a prospect that we shall be blessed in the City and blessed in the Country that the Lord shall cause our Enemies that rise up against us to be smitten before our face And that he shall bless us in all that we set our hand to and shall establish us to be a holy people to himself so that all the people of the earth shall see that we are called by the name of the Lord and shall be afraid of us and that we shall lend to many Nations and not borrow I will not offer to you the dismal reverse of all this in the Curses that are denounced upon a people that shall not hearken to the Voice of the Lord nor observe his Commandments to do them I hope for better things from you and such as accompany Salvation for which let us look up to him who can give us Grace both to will and to do to whom be Glory and Honour for evermore Amen FINIS Books lately Printed for Richard Chiswell THE Fifteen Notes of the Church as laid downby Cardinal Bellarmin examined and confuted by several London Divines 4o.
