Matthew Poole and continuators on Isaiah 7:11

11 Ask thee a sign of the LORD thy God , ask it either in the depth, or in the heighth above .

I perceive thou dost not believe God's Word and Message now delivered by me; yet God is so patient and merciful to thee, that he gives thee liberty to demand of him any Signal or miraculous Work, whereby thou mayst be assured of the Truth and Certainty of this Promise.

Both by right of Dominion, and by vertue of his gracious Covenant made with all Israel, of whom thou art a Member, and King; and by thy own Profession, for he still worshipped God together with his Idols; and by the continuance of his Care and Kindness to thee, and to thy People, notwithstanding all your Wickedness; whereof this Promise and Offer is a clear Demonstration.

Demand some Prodigie to be wrought, either in Earth or in Heaven, at thy pleasure.
