And so much concerning the second benefit. In the third place the Lord promiseth, that he will give grace to his Church and people, that they shall embrace his pure worship ⟨p. 267⟩and service, and abolish all idolatry and superstition, in these words, Vers. 16. And at that day, saith the Lord, you Vers. 16. 17. shall call me Ishi, and shall call me no more Baali. Vers. 17. For I will take away the names of Baali out of her mouth, and they shall no more be remembered by their names. In which words the Lord 1promiseth two things, first, that he will restore his sincere worship: secondly, that he will root out all idolatry. The former, in these words, And at that day, saith the Lord, shall you call me Ishi. Where is set down, first, the time when the Church should perform this duty: and secondly, the duty it self. The time in these words, And at that day; that is, when the Lord hath effectually called her, spoken comfortably unto her, and multiplied his benefits upon her, then should she in love and thankfulness, show her self zealous in offering unto God his pure worship, and in abolishing all relics of idolatry.
