The faith of the fathers. Or, The articles of the true religion, all of them exhibited in the express words of the Old Testament. Partly, to confirm those who do possess that religion of God, and His Messiah. But chiefly, to engage the Jewish nation, unto the religion of their patriarchs; and, bring down the hearts of the fathers into the children, and the disobedient unto the wisdom of the just; and so, to make ready a people prepared for the Lord. / By Cotton Mather. ; [Four lines of quotation]

A. Yes. It is written, Hos. 3.5. Afterward shall the Children of Israel Return, & Seek the Lord their God, & David their King; and shall fear the Lord, and His Good One, in the Latter Days. And again, Isa. 60 2, 3, 20, 21, 22. The Lord shall arise upon thee, & His Glory shall be seen upon thee; And the Gentiles shall come to thy light; The Lord shall be thine Everlasting Light, and the Days of thy mourning shall be Ended: Thy people also shall be all Righteous; They shall Inherit the Land for ever. I the Lord will hasten it in His Time.
