And so there are other places of Scripture, as that 54. of Isa. and 21. of the Revelat. In the 54. Isa. v. 12. there's a promise to the Church that was Afflicted; O thou Afflicted, tossed with Tempest, and not comforted, behold I will lay thy stones with fair colours, and lay thy Foundation with Sapphires; And I will make thy Windows of Agates, and thy Gates of Carbuncles, and all thy borders of pleasant stones. Here God promises that he would build his Church with precious stones, the Church that was so Afflicted and tossed: Now mark the 21. of the Revelat. and see there how St. John takes this Prophecy, and doth plainly interpret it, that it is of the glorious state of the Church that should be after: saith the ⟨p. 15⟩Text there, describing there the glorious Estate of the Church; And the Foundations of the wall of the City, were garnished with all manner of precious stones. Here's a Prophecy it should be so, and John takes this Prophecy, and tells, that this is to be understood of a time of the Christian Church, that it shall indeed be so.
