The fifth Scripture is that 53. of Isaiah. This Scripture,1 among many others, gives us very clear intimations of a Federal transaction between God the father, and Jesus Christ, in order to the recovery, and everlasting happiness of poor sinners. The glorious Gospel seems to be epitomised in this chapter; the subject matter of it, is the grievous sufferings, and dolorous death of Christ, and the happy and glorious issue thereof: Of all the Prophets, this Prophet Isaiah was the most Evangelical Prophet, and2 of all the Prophecies of this Prophet, that which you have in this chapter, is the most Evangelical Prophecy. In this chapter, you have a most plain, lively and full description,3 and representation of the humiliation, death and passion of Jesus Christ; which indeed is so exact, and so consonant to what hath fallen our since, that Isaiah seems here, rather to pen an history than a Prophecy: The matter contained in this chapter, is so convictive, from that clear light that goes along with it • that several of the Jews, in reading of this chapter, have been converted, as not being able to stand any longer out, against the shining light and evidence of it: Out of this chapter, which is more worth, than all the Gold of Ophir, yea, than ten thousand worlds, Observe with me these eight things.
- 1The fifth proof.
- 2Hierom calls him Isaiah the Evangelist.
- 3In this chapter you have the compact and agreement between God the father and Jesus Christ, plainly asserted and proved.
