TESTIMONIES AGAINST THE JEWS. 97 in His baptism, and passingover into His church, obey His precepts. In IsaiahtheLord says: " Now I willnot releaseyour sins. When ye stretchforthyour hands,I willturn away my face from you ; and if ye multiplyprayers,I willnot hear you : for your hands are fullof blood. Wash you, make you clean ; take away the wickednessfrom your soulsfrom the sight of mine eyes; cease from your wickedness; learn to do good ; seek judgment ;keep him who sufferswrong ; judge for the orphan, and justifythe widow. And come, letus reasontogether,saiththeLord : and althoughyour sinsbe as scarlet,I willwhiten1 them as snow ; and althoughtheywere as crimson,I willwhiten2them aswool. And ifye be willing and listento me, ye shalleat the good of the land; but if ye be unwilling,and willnot hear me, the sword shallcon sume you ; for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken these things."* SECOND BOOK. nEADS. 1.That ChrististheFirst-born,and thatHe istheWisdom of God, by whom allthingswere made. 2.
