(Isa. 45.25.) Surely shall one say, in the Lord have I righteousness, even to him shall men come, &c. In the Lord shall all the seed of Israel be justified and shall glory. The seed of Israel are righteous in the Lord, and glory in that righteousness; yea the Lord is pleased to hear them glorying in that righteousness, for that's the righteousness of his Son, in whom he is well pleased, (Mat. 3.•7.)

(Isa. 45.25.) Surely shall one say, in the Lord have I righteousnes, even to him shall men come, &c. In the Lord shall all the seed of Israel be justified and shall glory. The seed of Israel are righteous in the Lord, and glory in that righteousnesse; yea the Lord is pleased to hear them glorying in that righteousnesse, for that's the righteousnesse of his Son, in whom he is well pleased, (
