Isaiah52:13

Ver. 13. Behold my ſervant ſhall deal prudently] Or, ſhall proſper, as chap. 53.10.Aug. de Civ. Dei lib. 18 cap. 29. Juſtin. contra Tryphon. O[illegible: 1 letter]ig. lib. 1 cont. coſ. Here ſome (and not unfitly) begin the next Chapter, which hath Chriſt alſo for its ſubject, as the Chaldee Paraphraſt, and ſome old Jew-Doctors acknowldge: Johannes Iſaac a Jew was converted by reading of it: This I confeſs ingenuouſly, ſaith he, that that Chapter brought me to the Faith of Jeſus Chriſt; and well it might; for taken together with theſe three laſt verſes, it is an entire Prophecy, or rather an hiſtory of Chriſts perſon and acts, both in the ſtate of his Humiliation, and Exaltation.

He ſhall be exalted and extolled and be very high] This great advancement was the conſequent of his great abaſement, Phil. 2.6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11. His humane nature, wherein he ſuffered ſo for our ſakes, hath by vertue of the Union with the Deity, theſe high prerogatives; 1. An exuberancy and exceſſe of glory, Eph. 1.21. 2. The grace of divine Adoration together with the Deity, Heb. 1.6. Phil. 2.9. 3. Power over all things for his peoples uſe, Mat. 28.18. 4. Judiciary power, to be Judge of all, Act. 17.30.
