Moreover, we find that Mount Zion (which was not only an eminent part of the literal Jerusalem, but a figure also of the mystical Jerusalem, or whole Church of God under the Gospel (Heb. 12.22.) This Mount Zion (I say) is Geographically described in our Northerly situation (Psal. 48.2, 3. Beautiful for situation, the joy of the whole earth is Mount Zion; on the sides of the North, the City of the Great King. God is known in her palaces for a refuge. As if he had said, in Zion, on the sides of the North God worketh wonderfully, as it follows expressly (v. 4, 5.) for lo the kings were assembled, they passed by together, they saw it and so they marvelled, they were troubled and hasted away: that is, Kings conspiring against the Church were so terrified with the evidences of Gods power working mightily there, that they fled away, or as another Scripture phraseth it, They came one way and returned seven. And in this form of speech is both the then Jerusalem, and the Church ever since expressed, in that boast which the king of Babylon (who was a type of all the enemies of the Church clothed with mighty power and sovereignty) makes against her, (Isa. 14.13.) I will sit also (that is, erect my throne) upon the Mount of the Congregation on the sides of the North. Mount Zion was called the Mount of the Congregation, because there the people of God the Jews were famously known to congregate often together, and this (saith that proud boaster) on the sides of the North. And to complete this notion of the workings of God in and from the North, Christ himself is said to be raised out of the North; For so some expound that Scripture (Isa. 41.25.) I have raised up one out of the North, and he shall come, from the rising of the Sun shall •e call upon my name, &c. This prophecy (I say) some expound of Christ, who shall gather his dispersed and despised ones from all quarters of the world. The greatest works of God that ever were done, Christ did them; and therefore the North, may justly be called the place where he worketh, seeing he raised Christ from thence.
