And hear what good I willdo to you; this from the 7:h tothe end of the Chaptcr. e The ſevere Judgments againſt your Enemies, kis gracious Promiſes to you.

f Many were the Enemies of God's People, but they ſo conſpired in ene Deſign, with one Conſent, and were. ſo one in their Humours and Enmiry and Carriage, that the Prophet ſpeaks of them as one, and particularly of Zen. g Rejoicingly and with inſulting Pride, as Ammoz did chap. 25. 3. and Tyre did chap: 26. 2. which ſee. þ The everlaſting Hills, bur this is common with other Hills, whoſe Foun- dations, as theſe of i/racl, are from the beginning, and ſhall be to the end; that they aim at, is a deriding of 1/-acl, who by promiſe from God claimed theſe Mountains as a perpetual Inheritance, but were now caſt out of it, and they hereby tax the God of 7ſ-ael as not keeping his promiſe, fo they blaſpheme God, and inſult over his People. 7 Our Righr, as of the elder Houſe, now Conquerors, and Feudatarics to him that hath ſubdued them ; thus they pretend right to juſtify their Injuſtice. k& We are now where we ſhould have been theſe 1160 Years or more, where we thought we would be one time or other, 1n ſpite of rhem and all their Boaſts of their God; we are where we will keep, and nenc ſhall put us our. Such impiousBrags were their Sin, and are implizd in the Words.
