11 That you may suck and be satisfied with the breasts of her consolations , that you may milk out, and be delighted with the abundance of her glory .

Hierusalem is here s[illegible: 1+ letters]t out as the mother of us all, as indeed she was, for out of Zion wen[illegible: 1+ letters] forth the law, and the word of the Lord from Hierusale[illegible: 1+ letters], I[illegible: 1+ letters]aiah 2, 3. Christ was of the seed of Abraham, he was sent to the los[illegible: 1+ letters] She[illegible: 1+ letters]p of the house of Israel, and is called, Rom. 15. 8. the Minister of the Circumcision: they were the Olive, the Branches; the Gentiles but a wild Olive, grafted in amongst them, Rom. 11. 17. we sucked at their breasts, Christ was first preached to them, the 12. the 70. were all of them.
