Genesis 9. God enlarge Japheth, that he may dwell in the tabernacles of Shem. Isaiah 54. Rejoice O barren which doest not bring forth, break forth into praise, and rejoice which diddest not bring forth, because moe are the Sons of the desolate, then of the married wife, saith the Lord. Enlarge the place of thy tents, and let them spread out the curtains of thy habitations. And a little after, For he that made thee, is thy husband (whose name is the Lord of hosts) and thy redeemer is the holy one of Israel, who shall be called the God of the whole world. Also to the Galatians 4. verse 27. and Isaiah 60. ver. 1.2, &c. Arise, be enlightened, because thy light cometh, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee. For behold darkness shall cover the earth, & thick darkness the people: but the Lord shall arise upon thee, and the nations ⟨p. 236⟩shall walk to thy light, and Kings to the brightness of thy rising. Ezech. 37. verses. 22 24. and Chapt. 10. And there shall be one shepherd, and one sheepfold. John 11. verse 52. And not that Jesus should die for that nation only, but also that he should gather together in one the children of GOD which were scattered, Apoc. 59.10. Thou hast redeemed us unto God, through thy blood out of every tribe, and tongue, people, and nation.
