hills did tremble, and their carcases were torn in the midst of the streets: for all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still. And he will lift up an ensign to the nations." "Now let them look to the time of their destruction, when they despised the words of the HOLY ONE sent unto them, and cast away the law of the LORD. But where is the ENSIGN set up for the nations from far? And here let them discern the time that I have said the ENSIGN shall be set up far from Jerusalem, where I was put to death by the unbelieving Jews."

Isaiah, xli. 13-14. "For I the Lord thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, fear not, I will help thee. Fear not, thou worm Jacob, and ye men of Israel: I will help thee, saith the Lord, and thy REDEEMER, the HOLY ONE of Israel."

"Now let them answer, who is the REDEEMER, whom they will place to the HOLY ONE of Israel? and who is the JACOB here spoken of, and Israel that shall trust in the REDEEMER, the HOLY ONE of Israel? Will they answer, it is the Jews, if they stand out now through unbelief? And look to the prophet's words further."

Verse 16. "Thou shalt fan them, and the wind shall carry them away, and the whirlwind shall scatter them: and thou shalt rejoice in the LORD, and shalt glory in the HOLY ONE of Israel.”

"Now let them look back to the Laws of Moses, which they have broken throughout; and the ten commandments they have broken them all; then, who is the HOLY ONE of Israel, that shall redeem them, if they do not look upon HIM whom they have pierced? Let them hear and understand the words of their prophets."

Verses 20-21. "That they may see, and know? and consider, and understand together, that the

hand of the LORD liath done this, and the HoLT ONE of Israel hath created it. Produce your cause, saith the Lord; bring forth your strong reasons, saith the King of Jacob."

"Who is the KING of JACOB? Is there now a king in Israel? Is there a holy man amongst them, that hath kept the laws undefiled? AIF the Jews must answer, no: there is not such a holy man amongst them. Let them answer the words of the prophet."

Verses 26-28. "Who hath declared from the beginning, that we may know? and beforetime, that we may say, he is righteous? Yea, there is none that sheweth; yea, there is none that declareth; yea, there is none that heareth your words. The first shall say to Zion, Behold, behold them, and I will give to Jerusalem one that bringeth good tidings. For I beheld, and there was no man, even amongst them, and there was no counsellor, that when I asked of them, could answer a word."

"Now come to Bradley's letter, of the other Jew."

Mr. Bradley says, he informed a Jew that there was good news for their people; for the MESSIAH would soon come. He answered him with vehemence, "Then it will be bad news for you Christians; for you will all be cut off."

"Then now let him look to the words of the Prophet.

Isaiah, Ixi. 8-9. "I the Lord love judgment, I hate robbery for burnt offering, and I will direct their works in truth, and I will make an everlasting covenant with them. And their seed shall be known among the Gentiles, and their offspring among the people; all that see them shall acknowledge them, that they are the seed which the Lord hath blessed."

"Here let this wise Jew answer, how the seed of the Jews came among the GENTILES, but from the GOSPEL? They that believed among the Jews were separated from their brethren, as Joseph was; and they became Christians, and turned to the Gentiles. Here the seed of the Jews began to mix with the Gentiles: and let them remember how many thousands of the Hebrews, at that time, believed in the Gospel, and were called Christians, instead of Jews; and let them consider, that, for more than eighteen hundred years, the seeds have been increasing amongst the Gentiles; therefore ye cannot tell from what stock ye all sprung, since the converted Jews turned to the Gentiles. But now is the time that the seed will be known; because those who proceed from FAITH, from the converted Jews, will now rejoice in the Lord, as is spoken by the words of the prophet."

Verses 10,-11. "I will greatly rejoice in the Lord, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, he hath covered me with a robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decketh himself with ornaments, ~ and as a bride adorneth herself with her jewels. For as the earth bringeth forth her bud, and as the garden causeth the things that are sown in it to spring forth; so the Lord God will cause righteousness and praise to spring forth before all the nations."

"Now let him answer, from the words of the prophet, how the Christians and the Gentiles can be cut off, that do believe in the Gospel, and the fulfilment, according to the words of the prophets? Then the Scriptures must be null and void, if they are cut off, who are now Jooking for the fulfilment."

"Let them look to Isaiah, xxv. 8. 9.

"He

will swallow up death in victory, and the Lord God will wipe away tears from off all faces, and the rebuke of his people shall be taken away from off all the earth: for the Lord hath spoken it. And it shall be said in that day, Lo, this is our God, we have waited for him, and he will save us this is the Lord, we have waited for. him, we will be glad and rejoice in his salvation."

"When were these words fulfilled by the unbelieving Jews, who now stand out in unbelief? But let them see from the desire of the Christians, who are longing and waiting for the salvation of the Lord, looking for his coming to swallow up death in victory, it is by them the words are fulfilling. So let them not say that the Christians will be cut off, at the coming of the Lord, whom they are waiting for. But now I will tell them who will be cut off: those who reject the GOSPEL, and put their trust in the LAWS of Moses; if they do not keep those laws perfect and holy before GOD, then MOSES'S LAWS are a swift witness against them, and they will be cut off according to his words.

Deuteronomy, xxvi. 16. "This day the Lord thy God hath commanded thee to do these statutes and judgments: thou shalt therefore keep and do them with all thine heart and with all thy soul. Thou hast avouched the Lord this day to be thy God, and to walk in his ways, and to keep his statutes, and his commandments, and his judgments, and to hearken unto his voice."

"Now let them answer, if all this is done by them will not conscience now condemn them, that the Laws of Moses are witness against them? And let them look to the 28th chapter, how great were the promises made to the Hebrews, if they kept all the laws which Moses gave them: and let them look to the 15th verse. "But it

shall come to pass, if thou wilt not hearken unto the voice of the Lord thy God, to observe to do all his commandments, and all his statutes, which I command thee this day; that all these curses shall come upon thee, and overtake thee." Then let them see the chapter to the end, and see what room they have to boast that they shall not be cut off: if they rely upon the LAWS of MOSES, and do not keep them, then their condemnation is sure. So now is the time for all men to fix, which they will look unto-the promises of GOD, made in the GOSPEL, or the Laws of MOSES.

John, i. 17. "For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ."

John, iii. 14-17. "And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up; that whosoever believeth in him, should not perish, but have eternal life. For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him, should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved."

Psalms, xl. 6-8. "Sacrifice and offering thou didst not desire; mine ears hast thou opened: burnt-offering and sin-offering hast thou not required. Then said I, Lo, I come in the volume of the book it is written of ME, I dlelight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law is within my heart." Isaiah, i.

"To what purpose is the crifices unto me? saith the be burnt-offerings of rams, easts, and I delight not s, or of lambs, or of hee to appear before ME,
