The eighth thing, That there shall be when Jerusalem shall be set up as the praise of the whole Earth, Powerful Godliness, and the Saints shall be honoured in the World. As they have been trampled under feet, and disgraced, and vilified in the World; So when this time shall come, they shall be honoured in the World, and their Enemies shall stoop to them. We have a great many Scriptures that tend that way. In the 49. of Isa. v. 23. You may Read there how the Enemies shall come and stoop to the Saints, that did despise them before. And so in the 3d. Revel. vers. 9. Those that hated them shall come and bow unto them. I will make them of the Synagogue of Satan, which say, they are Jews and are not, but do lie; Behold I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee. They will not own them now, but God hath his time to make wicked and ungodly men, to come and acknowledge that these are the beloved ones of the Lord, verily these are the Servants, ⟨p. 66⟩yea they are the Children of the most high God. And more specially those Scriptures that you have in the Prophecy of Isaiah, Chap. 60.6. and so vers. 13. V. 6. The Multitude of Camels shall cover thee, the Dromedaries of Midian and Ephah: all they from Sheba shall come, they shall bring Gold and Incense, and they shall show forth the praise of the Lord. All the Flocks of Kedar shall be gathered together unto thee, the Rams of Nebaioth shall minister unto thee. And vers. 13. The glory of Lebanon shall come unto thee, the Fir-Tree, the Pine-Tree, and the Box together, to beautify the place of my Sanctuary, and I will make the place of my feet glorious. Mark, The Church it is the place of Gods feet: It's under God, but the Lord hath his time to make it glorious before all the world: For if you speak of the Spiritual glory of it, so it is so glorious now. Gods Church it was always glorious spiritually before God, and was the most glorious Object that God had to view in the World: But here's a promise that he will make it glorious before others. Vers. 14. ⟨p. 67⟩The Sons also of them that afflicted thee, shall come bending unto thee, and all they that despised thee, shall bow themselves down at the Soles of thy feet, and they shall call thee, The City of the Lord, the Zion of the Holy one of Israel. It may be they called them before nick names;
