The Grounds of Christianity Examined by Comparing The New Testament with the Old

CHAPTER III
11/17

In those days, and at that time, [he that readeth, let him observe] I will came to grow up of the line of David a branch of righteousness, and he shall execute judgment and justice in the earth.

In those days Judah shall be saved, and Jerusalem, shall dwell securely, and this is he whom the Lord shall call--'OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS.' [Heb.] Surely, thus saith the Lord, there shall not be a failure in the line of David, one to sit upon the throne of the house of Israel, neither shall there be a failure in the line of the Priests, the Levites, of one to offer before me burnt offerings, and to perform sacrifice continually." See ch.
xxxiiii.14.In this place, the perpetuity of the tribe of Levi, as well as that of the house of David, is foretold.

See also Jer.ch.xxx.
