One of late hath applied this name unto the People of Israel; and interprets the words, Deus nobis bene fecit; God hath done well unto us. But we have had too much of such bold and groundless conjectures about the fundamentals of our Faith and Worship. The Jews seek to evade this Testimony, by instances of the Applications of this name to other things; as the Altar built by Moses, the Ark, and the City of Jerusalem. But it is one thing to have the name of God called on a place or thing to bring the occasion of it unto remembrance; another to say that this is the name of such a Person, Jehovah our Righteousness. And whereas the Holy Ghost says expressly that this is his name, the Jews must give us leave to call him so, and to believe him so; which is all we contend for. Of the same importance with this Prophecy is that of Ezek. 37. v. 24.

Targum; Their King shall be anointed from amongst them; and their Messiah shall be revealed unto them. And upon his account it is that God enters into a new Covenant with his People: v. 22.
