Look to me, and be ye saved all the ends of the Earth: for I am God, and there is none else. Which plainly signifies, that in the highest sense, to save, is most appropriate to Deity, especially, with an everlasting Salvation, as 'tis expressed, v. 17. of this Chap. 45. Israel shall be saved, in or by the Lord, with an everlasting Salvation. And that to be so a Saviour, is equally incommunicable, as to be God.
