but_o i_o shall_v add_v a_o few_o reflection_n more_o upon_o this_o point_n and_o draw_v towards_o a_o end_n 1._o these_o promise_n about_o israel_n restoration_n can_v be_v genuine_o interpret_v of_o a_o spiritual_a israel_n among_o the_o nation_n since_o there_o be_v a_o manifest_a distinction_n between_o israel_n and_o the_o nation_n in_o many_o of_o those_o promise_n 25._o which_o be_v before_o cite_v and_o apply_v so_o by_o the_o apostle_n 2._o because_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n seem_v to_o speak_v of_o and_o assign_v some_o special_a comfort_n and_o joy_n to_o natural_a israel_n under_o their_o devastation_n and_o dispersion_n as_o to_o a_o distinct_a and_o particular_a nation_n which_o in_o due_a time_n be_v to_o be_v recall_v out_o of_o those_o plunge_n and_o misery_n now_o what_o special_a comfort_n can_v arise_v as_o to_o israel_n distinct_a from_o other_o nation_n if_o such_o promise_n be_v to_o be_v understand_v of_o a_o spiritual_a and_o mystical_a israel_n 43._o as_o that_o in_o isaiah_n blessed_n be_v egypt_n and_o israel_n and_o assyria_n my_o people_n and_o again_o rejoice_v o_o nation_n with_o my_o people_n etc._n etc._n 3._o because_o the_o glory_n of_o that_o nation_n be_v express_o declare_v to_o be_v supereminent_a and_o transcendent_a above_o all_o other_o nation_n both_o for_o spiritual_a and_o temporal_a felicity_n and_o that_o all_o nation_n shall_v come_v up_o that_o be_v by_o ambassador_n and_o messenger_n bring_v present_n to_o they_o the_o king_n of_o the_o nation_n shall_v bring_v in_o their_o glory_n thither_o and_o shall_v walk_v in_o the_o same_o spiritual_a light_n as_o the_o prophet_n isaiah_n and_o zechary_n and_o other_o distinct_o mention_v it_o 4._o those_o sweet_a and_o ample_a promise_n be_v sometime_o mention_v as_o distinct_o applicable_a to_o that_o nation_n which_o pierce_v he_o 10._o whereas_o it_o be_v say_v that_o under_o gospel_n day_n there_o be_v no_o privilege_n assert_v to_o the_o jew_n more_o than_o to_o the_o gentile_n we_o must_v understand_v as_o to_o the_o doctrine_n of_o faith_n and_o eternal_a salvation_n they_o be_v all_o one_o in_o christ_n jesus_n nor_o ought_v any_o to_o deem_v that_o any_o of_o their_o old_a typical_a sacrifice_n and_o service_n shall_v be_v introduce_v into_o god_n worship_n at_o their_o restitution_n for_o they_o be_v all_o final_o abrogate_a and_o the_o veil_n of_o the_o temple_n rend_v in_o twain_o so_o that_o those_o last_o splendid_a chapter_n in_o ezekiel_n do_v only_o set_v forth_o gospel_n and_o evangelical_n ordinance_n under_o the_o ancient_a figure_n 5._o these_o great_a promise_n be_v in_o several_a place_n set_v down_o with_o a_o contradistinction_n to_o their_o release_n from_o their_o first_o captivity_n 22._o as_o when_o the_o lord_n say_v i_o will_v bring_v my_o people_n again_o from_o bashan_n and_o again_o from_o the_o depth_n of_o the_o sea_n 11._o and_o that_o he_o will_v set_v his_o hand_n again_o the_o second_o time_n to_o deliver_v his_o people_n etc._n etc._n now_o if_o the_o first_o captivity_n be_v literal_a and_o the_o first_o release_n from_o babylon_n be_v literal_a then_o there_o be_v a_o second_o release_n to_o be_v fulfil_v in_o the_o like_a tenor_n 6._o it_o may_v be_v argue_v also_o from_o the_o distinctness_n of_o the_o time_n of_o israel_n redemption_n beside_o the_o time_n of_o the_o restoration_n of_o the_o gentile_n from_o their_o spiritual_a captivity_n under_o antichrist_n and_o under_o the_o turk_n which_o may_v appear_v more_o clear_o from_o what_o i_o hope_v to_o speak_v as_o to_o the_o distinct_a time_n of_o israel_n deliverance_n before_o the_o close_a of_o this_o tract_n 7._o we_o may_v infer_v this_o national_a restitution_n of_o israel_n from_o those_o text_n which_o mention_v many_o distinct_a place_n of_o their_o scatter_n 11._o as_o in_o elam_n or_o persia_n in_o assyria_n javan_n and_o the_o island_n etc._n etc._n from_o whence_o as_o from_o all_o quarter_n of_o the_o earth_n they_o shall_v be_v reduce_v to_o their_o own_o land_n now_o it_o seem_v very_o incongruous_a to_o assign_v a_o mystical_a denomination_n to_o those_o country_n and_o city_n of_o their_o various_a dispersion_n such_o strange_a and_o wonderful_a scatter_n as_o they_o verify_v the_o ancient_a prophecy_n so_o have_v they_o happen_v to_o no_o other_o nation_n under_o the_o whole_a heaven_n that_o we_o can_v evidence_n wherefore_o from_o all_o these_o consideration_n it_o seem_v very_o proper_a that_o there_o be_v some_o great_a and_o special_a glory_n both_o in_o spiritual_a and_o temporal_a concernment_n which_o shall_v accrue_v to_o national_a israel_n in_o the_o latter_a day_n beyond_o the_o glory_n of_o their_o ancestor_n 11._o wherefore_o some_o have_v make_v this_o as_o unto_o
