The Prophet answers, It is true, God hath been your God, and you have been his people, but there is an end of those days, God now degradeth you from those glorious privileges that formerly you had, he will own you no more to be his, and you shall have no further right to own him to be yours.

From whence
First this, A people that have been once a people dear to God, may be so rejected as never to become a people of God more:1 For so these did not, though afterwards we shall bear of the promise for others in other Ages. God hath no need of men. God is able to raise up a people what ways he pleases, even from the very stones in the street, to raise up children unto Abraham. Though Rome may boast that they have been a glorious Church; True, there hath been heretofore a glorious Church in Rome, what then? Those that were his people are now no more his people.
