All which the Lord spoke by way of Prophesie that he would restore Israel his people into unity with him which could not possible be untill he had finished transgression in them which was the first cause of separation from God and the glory of his power And again the Lord by the mouth of Ieremiah Prophesied of the restoration of Israel and said he would bring them from the North Countrey and gather them from the coasts of the earth he that scattered Israel will gather them as a Shepherd doth his flock Ier. 31. 10. And also said he would make a Covenant with the house of Israel and the house of Iudah not according to the Covenant which he made with their Fathers when he took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt Mark but this shall be the Covenant that I will make with the house of Israel I will put my Law in their inward parts and write it in their hearts And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour and every man his brother saying know the Lord c. Ier. 31. 31 32. 33.
