Isaiah41:8
Ver. 8. But thou Iſrael art my Servant] And it was for thy ſake, and for thy ſettlement, that I have dealt ſo long with theſe odious Idolaters: whom elſe I would not once look toward nor commune with, as he ſaid 2 King. 3.14.
The ſeed of Abraham my Friend] This ſtile was an higher honour to Abraham, then if God had ingraven his name in the orbes of Heaven. See the Note on Jam. 2.23. Huſhai was Davids Friend: and Auguſtus vouchſafed to give Virgil the name of Amicus. This was a ſpecial favour: but not like that in the Text.
