I continued my argument by bringing forward the fact that Isaiah cries aloud elsewhere: Hear ye my words, and your soul shall live, and I will make for you an everlasting Disposition, the holy and sure blessings of David. Behold, I have given Him as witness to the nations. Nations which know thee not, shall call on thee; peoples which have no knowledge of thee, shall flee unto thee; because of thy God, the Holy One of Israel, for He hath glorified thee.Isaiah 55:3-5
Him Himself who is the Law you dishonoured, and His new holy Disposition you despised, and not even now do you receive Him, or repent, though you did so ill. For your ears are still stopped up, your eyes callous, and your heart waxed fat.Isaiah 6:10 Jeremiah has cried, and not even so do ye hear; the Lawgiver has come, and ye see Him not; the poor have the gospel preached to them, the blind have their sight, and ye understand not,
A second circumcision is now necessary, and ye are making much of your flesh; the new Law wishes you to keep sabbath all the time, and you think you are acting piously by being lazy for one day, not considering the reason why it was commanded you; and if ye eat unleavened bread, ye say ye have fulfilled the will of God. It is not in these things that our Lord takes pleasure. If any among you is a false-swearer or a thief, let him cease; if any an adulterer, let him repent; then he has kept the delightsome Isaiah 58:13 and true sabbaths of God. If any has not clean hands, let him wash; then is he clean.
