12. God calls them a crown of glory and diadem in his hand, Isa. 62. 3. *that is (saith a learned Writer) they are exceeding eminent and renowned above other people; as the Crown is an Ensign of the highest state and honour; nay, the Lord calls them expressly, his Glory, Isa. 46. 13. Israel my glory; as if Gods glory lay in his people: All which shows what an high estimate God puts upon the righteous, in giving them such illustrious Titles of honour. They are Princes in all lands, Isa. 45. 16. Kings do minister to them, Isa. 60. 10. yea Angels, Heb. 1. 14. the ⟨p. 63⟩Lord will give whole Kingdoms to ransom them*, Isa. 43. 3. I gave Egypt for thy ransom: That was when God destroyed Egypt in the Red Sea for the saving of Israel; nay, God gave his own Son to die for their ransom, 1 Pet. 1. 18.
