their long expected Messiah and the dreadful Judgment that in a few Years after befel them thereupon ending in the total ruin both of their Church and State and their miserable forlorn Condition to this hour are all sufficiently convincing Evidences of this Truth The ten Tribes for their abominable Idolatries were early removed and captiv'd by Salmanaser and to this day never again heard of seem as lost only survive in the Promises made for their restoration and all we know of them is that the Scripture tells us out of what places at last they shall be recalled The other two Tribes about a Hundred and twenty Years after or somewhat more went into Babilon suffering the loss of all in a sore Captivity they returned indeed and continued a petty inconsiderable State which was at the best under the Maccabees till Christ came but then when the glory of all they hoped for and the substance of all their Religion signified appeared then was the Judgment of God compleated upon them What account can be given of this that these peculiar People of God in covenant with him above all the Earth to whom the Promises of the Messiah were chiefly and primarily made of whose flesh he came that they of all the World should be his crucifiers what account I say but this that God would compleat his Judgments for all their Rebellions upon them above all others and 't is a thing of great remark and observation that in the 6th Chap. of Isaiah where that fatal and dreadful Rejection of the Jews from the advantage they might have had from Christ and the Gospel at his coming is foretold and recorded we never find God more gloriously magnified nor his praise more celebrated in Heaven than upon this occasion In the year that king Uzziah died I saw also the Lord sitting upon a throne high and lifted up and his train filled the temple Above it stood the seraphims each one had six wings with twain he covered his face with twain he covered his feet and with twain he did fly And one cried unto another and said Holy holy holy is the Lord of hosts the whole earth is full of his glory And the posts of the door moved at the voice of him that cried and the house was filled with smoke And in the 8th Verse Also I heard the voice of the Lord saying Whom shall I send and who will go for us Then said I Here am I send me And he said Go and tell this people Hear ye indeed but understand not and see ye indeed but perceive not Make the heart of this people fat and make their ears heavy and shut their eyes lest they see with their eyes and hear with their ears and understand with their heart and convert and be healed Then said I Lord how long And he answered Until the cities be wasted without inhabitant and the houses without man and the land be utterly desolate So clear and evidently just were God's proceedings with this People in suffering them to reject Christ and the Gospel who had so often and so long rejected him and bring at last a total ruin upon themselves their City and whole Country by the Romans that the whole heavenly Hoast admire and adore his Actings herein and give their utmost Suffrage thereunto But although all these Miseries have befallen this People and all the Judgments threatned in the Law of Moses have been most righteously executed upon them yet God according to his ancient Promise has not totally and utterly destroyed them but has subjected them in hope and will at last revive them with a glorious and merciful Revival and Resurrection which is the Point shall be last considered about this People Touching the Calling of the Jews The Calling of the Jews is a Matter that has been variously treated of and there has been considerable Advocates on both sides but to me it seems that no Man that with due diligence reads what the Scriptures informs us about this Matter can fairly deny but that the Jews will at last be called into the Christian Church and embodied with it and their restoration will be very glorious the whole stream of the prophetick part of the Old Testament runs this way God has upon all occasions by his Prophets declared himself very plain in this Point that he would not by any of his Judgments utterly raze that People out of the World but that there should be hope in their end and that although he had in punishing many other Nations made a full end with them that their Names should be no more remembred yet he would not do so with the Jews for he had married himself unto them and although he would with the exactest severity punish them for their Sins and take vengeance upon their Inventions yet he would not make a full end with them but reserve them to be Objects and Spectacles of his Mercy at the last so in the 31st of Jeremiah he declares That the sun moon and stars should as soon cease from enlightning the world as the seed of Israel cease from being a nation before him for ever which in a great measure our own eyes behold made good at this day in the forementioned 6th of Isaiah where their rejection from the advantages of the Gospel at its first publication and to this day is so solemnly and dreadfully declared by the Prophet the last Verse of that Chapter is a plain witness to this But yet in it shall be a tenth and it shall return and be eaten as a teil-tree and as an oak whose substance is in them when they cast their leaves so the holy seed shall be the substance therefore Though they look like a dead Tree without Leaves yet there shall be a secret Life within A holy seed that shall be the substance thereof To set down all that the Prophets have left upon record touching this restoration of the Jews at the last were to transcribe a considerable part of their Writings and therefore I shall confine my self in the proof of this Point to a narrow compass and insist only upon some few Scripture Evidences but such as I take to be very concluding and enough to convince in this matter First If there appear any Promises in the Old Testament for the restoring and recovering of the ten Tribes as there appear very many that Judah and Israel should be again united and those two broken and divided Sticks made into one then 't is past question that those Promises are yet to be made good and accomplished the ten Tribes have never yet been restored since they were captived by Shalmaneser and God himself declared by his Prophet Hosea in the first of Hosea that he would make a great difference between the Captivity of the ten Tribes and the other two in point of duration and continuance of time even so far that the ten Tribes should seem as utterly cast away yet in the 10th and 11th Verses he promises
