Isaiah62:2

And the Gentiles ſhall ſee thy righteouſneſſe] The Prophet here very artificially turneth his ſpeech to the Church her ſelf, as if he would pronounce his Panegyrick in her preſence: and preſently celebrateth her dignity and happineſs herein, that the Gentiles ſhould worſhip her, and be joyned unto her. Some read it, And the Gentiles ſhall ſee thy righteous one, i. e. Chriſt, who came of the Jews, was preached to the Gentiles, beleeved on in the world, received up to glory, 1 Tim. 3.16.

And thou ſhalt be called by a new name] Viz. Hephzibah, i. e. My darling: and Beulah, i. e. a married woman, ver. 4. There are that by this new name will have to be underſtood the name of ſons and daughters of the Almighty, Rev. 2.17. 2 Cor. 6. ult. Others the name of the Church Catholick. And others again the honourable name of Christians, which yet is at this day in Italy and at Rome a name of reproach,Fulk [illegible: 1 letter]h[illegible: 1 letter]m.
