And it is the same Privilege and Happiness which was prophesied of, under the type of the sticks made one, in the hand of the Prophet Ez•kul: For though in the literal sense, it be to be understood, (as it is expressed) of the happy re-union of that unhappily divided seed of Jacob, Joseph and Ephraim, Israel and Judah; yet in a Gospel-sense, it is to be applied to the Churches of Jesus Christ, in the latter days, which though formerly divided, and miserably torn by unnatural quarrels, and wars; yet Christ the King of the Church, hath a day wherein he will make them one in his own hand: The great and gracious design which we humbly conceive Christ hath now upon these two Nations, England and Scotland; even after all their sad divisions and civi• discords to make them one in his right hand, to all Generations.
