Jeremiah17:26

26 And they shall come from the cities of Judah, and from the places about Jerusalem, and from the land of Benjamin, and from the plain, and from the mountains, and from the south, bringing burnt-offerings, and sacrifices, and meat-offerings, and incense, and bringing sacrifices of praise unto the house of the LORD .

The sum of all these three verses is, that if they would sanctifie the Lords Sabbath, they should either continue in, or be restored unto their ancient Civil, and Ecclesiastical order, they should have Kings and Princes in their former order and splendor, and men should come from all parts of the Countrey bringing their usual Sacrifices and Offerings to the Temple, and those of all sorts. Some think this promise is to be understood Sy[illegible: 1 letter]e[illegible: 1 letter]d[illegible: 1 letter]chically one principal part of the Law of God, and such a one as was in their power to obey, being put for the whole Law of God. Those who desire to be satisfied in the niceties as to the terms and places here mentioned may find satisfaction in the English Annotations upon this verse. The general sense is no more, then that both their City and their Temple, their Civil and Ecclesiastical State should continue, and flourish in that order wherein it was.
