Obs.1 That it's a sure Argument and Demonstration of the Divinity of the Scripture, That it doth foretell things which long after do come to pass; Judas his perdition in the Text was prophesied of many hundred years before;2 As God endowed men with such illumination that they could tell what was done many years before they lived, as appeareth in Moses his writing of the History of the Creation, so it doth no less wonderfully appear in a prediction of such things as shall come hereafter, and therefore both the Old Testament and the New have two Books that are wonderfully prophetic of what shall befall the Church in after Ages; Daniel prophesied so in his time, and John did the like in his Revelations.
