4 Encouragement. We have a particular word, that God will, before the end of all things make his Churches glorious, Isay 5.4. throughout: read 11, 12, 13, 14. Oh thou afflicted and tossed with tempests, and not comforted! I will lay thy stones with fair colours, and thy foundations of Sapphire.—And all thy children shall be taught of the Lord, and great shall be the peace of thy children. Isay 62.1, 2. &c. For Scions sake I will not hold my peace, and for Jerusalems sake I will not rest, until the righteousness thereof go forth as brightness, and the salvation thereof as a Lamp that burneth; and the Gentiles shall see thy righteousness, and all Kings thy glory. And thou shalt be called by a new name,—Thou shalt also be a crown of glory in the hand of the Lord—Of which places I may say as the Eunuch to Philip,—Speaketh the Prophet this of himself, or of some other? So speaketh the Prophet, these glorious things of the Church past, or the Church to come. Of the Church past it cannot ⟨p. 241⟩be; for hitherto it hath been (like Noah's Ark on the waters, like the ship on a stormy sea) conflicting with insupportable troubles and difficulties.
