Isaiah45:5

Ver. 5. I am the Lord and none elſe] None of thy Perſian gods to whom thou didſt offer ſolemn ſacrifice,Xenoph. Cyr. lib. 1. & 8. both at the beginning of thy raigne, and likewiſe at thy death (if Xenophon may be beleeved) ſaying, Jupiter patriae & Sol, &c. magnas ago vobis gratias, quod veſtram de me curam intellexi, &c.

Though thou haſt not known me] Or, when as yet thou waſt altogether ignorant of me. That he afterwards beleeved the immortality of the ſoul, Tully teſtifieth in his Cato Major; and that he beleeved in Chriſt for the ſalvation of his ſoul, Scultetus thinketh, becauſe he was a type of Chriſt; as was alſo Solomon, ſaith he; which to me is one good argument, that he was ſaved.
