The Practice of Piety

1 Because the holy Scripture seems to intimate so much in plain words. I will gather all Nations into the valley of Jehoshaphat, ¹and plead with them there. ²Cause thy mighty ones, to come down, O Lord: let the Heathen be wakened: and come up to the valley ⟨p. 167⟩of Jehoshaphat; for there will I sit to judge all the Heathen round about. Jehoshaphat signifieth the Lord will judge. And this valley was so called from the great victory which the LORD gave ^aJehoshaphat and his people over the Ammonites, Moabites, and Inhabitants of Mount Seir. Which victory was a Type of the final victory which Christ the supreme Judge, shall give his Elect, over all their Enemies in that place at the last day, as all the Jews interpret it. See Zach. 14.4 5. Psal. 51.1.2. &c. all agreeing, that the place shall be thereabouts.
