The obloquies of them who will revile Him, and his religion, will fall not so maliciously upon Himselfe, as upon the God whom He serveth. It is against His will that his Isaac is slain, and therefore the world will cease to asperse Him as if He delighted in cruelties; neither is it of his own head that he beginneth this sacrifice, so that he shall not long be branded with an act of will worship: The burnt-offering which he bringeth he offereth up, not of choice, but in Duty: and the truth hereof will in due time come to light. But herein (as I conceive) herein is the consternation of Abraham his Spirit: So long as the commandement of his God might abide concealed, so long there was not given unto the enemies of the Lord so great an occasion to Blaspheme. On the other side, to the deepe anguish of his Soul, the Patriarch calleth to mind that so soon as ever it shall be understood that the Lord had said unto him Offer up thy Son, forthwith all people will open their mouths against that Jehovah who laid upon the Father of Isaac a command so unmerciful, so ungodly, so pernicious. |
