VERS. X.
〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉.
The ax is laid to the root.
THESE words seem to be taken from Esay, Chap. X. vers. 33, 34. The destructi∣on of the Nation was to proceed from the Romans, who had now a great while held them under the yoke. That ax now laid to the root of the tree, shall certainly cut it down, if, from this last dressing by the Gospel, it bears not fruit. g 1.1 In the Talmud, those words of Esay are applied to the destruction of the City; and thence it is argued, that the Messias should be born not much after the time of that destruction, because pre∣sently after the threatning of that ruine, follows, A branch shall arise out of the stock of Jesse, Esa.
