Some may object that of the Prophet Isaiah, crying out, Woe unto me, for mine eyes have seen the King, the Lord of hosts, Chap. 6.5. Seen him? could Isaiah see him, whom Job and Moses could not? Isaiah did not see him in his essence and nature, but in the manifestations and breakings forth of his glory. His train filled the Temple, saith the Text (vers. 1.) or his skirts. It is an allusion to great Kings, who when they walk in State, have their trains, or the skirt of their royal robe held up. 'Twas this train, which Isaiah saw. He saw not God who was present, but he saw the manifest signs of his presence. That speech of Isaiah seemed to savour of, and border upon highest blasphemy, and was therefore charged as an article of accusation against him; he was indited of blasphemy for speaking those words, I have seen the Lord; his enemies taking or wresting it, as if he had made the Lord corporeal and visible with the eye of the body. And it is conceived he was put to death upon that, and one other passage in his prophecy, Cha. 1.10. calling the Princes of Judah, Princes of Sodom, and the people thereof, the people of Gomorrah.
