§. 28. Of Hebrews being Christians.

THis relative, a 1.1 OUR, annexed to profession, being of the first person and plu∣rall number, includeth both the Authour of this Epistle, and those also to whom it was written; and sheweth that they were all of the same profession, which was the Christian Religion. For howsoever the greatest part of the Jews, by reason of their obstinacy in rejecting Christ, were cast off, yet at that present time also there was a remnant according to the election of grace, Rom. 11. 5. and by this relative OUR, he giveth them to understand, that as he himself, so they also were of that remnant.

A great encouragement this was for them to hold fast their profession: and though the greatest part of the Hebrews had rejected that profession, yet they to live and die therein: and therefore to consider the Apostle and High-priest of their profession, that they might the better know him, beleeve on him and submit them∣selves to him.

Such Jews as are now of the Christian profession (for God hath in all ages reser∣ved a remnant to himself) may apply this to themselves.
