We have the Hiſtory ro which this relaterh, 1 Kmgs 10. I, Kc. Che 1s here called the Queen of the South; 1n the Book of Kings, and 2 Chron. 9.1. the Queen of Sheba; whether this Sheba, or Saba, was in 4rabia or Ethiopiz, is not much marerial z Certain It 15, ir was Southward of 7udez, and a place at 4 grear diſtarice. Yer, fiir our Saviour, Tho'She was a great Queen z tho” She lived ar [0 ercat a diſtance from Jeruſalem; tho' She had only heard of che Eame and Wiſdom of Sef7m , yer She came in Perſon to hear his wiſe Diſcourſes , either about things Natural or Supernatural. Theſe wretched Jews are not pur to it to take 4 Journey. Iam come amongſt them. 1 who am greater than Solomon, who am the Eternal Wiſchm , and come to Diſcourſe of Heaveny Wit- dom to them ; I am come to their Doors ; theirs, tO whom the Notion of a /ſiah is no new thing ; they have heard of me ; they are no Heathens, but bred up to the Knowledge of God. I have done many Miracles before them, yet they will not hear, nor believe me. The Queen of Sheba, in the Day of Judgment, ſhall riſe upas a Witneſs azainſt them, when God ſhall condemn them for their Unbelicet, The more Light, and Means, and Obligations Men have upon them to Faith and Holineſs, the greater will their Judgment and Ccndemnarion be.

44 Then he faith, I will return unto my houſe f&om whence I came out, and when he is come, «he finderh 77 empty, ſwept, and garniſhed. ;
45 Then goeth he, and traketh with himſelt {oven other ſpirits, more wicked than himfelt, and they enter in and dwell there : * and the laſt ſtate of that man is worſe than the firſt : Even fo {hall it

This Speech appeareth Parabolical, The Perſons concerned in it are expreſſed in the laſt Words , The Men of that wicked Gene- ration. The Text is thought to he well expounded by Peter, 1 Per. 2. 29. If after they have eſcaped the Pollution of the World, through the bnowledge of the Lord and Saviour Feſus Chrit, they are entangled therein, and overcome ;, the latter end is worſe with them than the beginning. Our Lord here compareth the Jews ro a Man out of whom the unclean Spirit was gone. The Devil 1s called che Unclean Spirit, both in regard of his own impure Nature, and becauſe his Work is to tempt Men to Sin, ( which 15 Spiricual
