For he suffered other nations to walk in vanity, as though they had not any intercourse, or any thing to do with him: neither did he to help their destruction give them that which was only the remedy, namely the preaching of his word: Israel was then the Lords son, his own darling other were strangers: Israel was known to him & received into his charge & protection, other were left to their own darkness: ⟨image 87⟩Israel was sanctified by GOD, other were profane:2 Israel was honoured with the presence of god, other were excluded from coming nigh to him till the fullness of time.
