VERS. V.

〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, &c.

Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant, &c.

HOwever we suppose the Jewish Nation, as to the more general mass of it, was cast off before the times of Christ; yet no question, there was in all ages 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 a remnant according to the election of grace, and in that age more espe∣cially wherein Christ and his Gospel began to shine out. And that he meant the calling of this remnant in that age and time wherein the Apostle wrote, and not any call of the whole Nation to be hereafter, what can be more plainly said, than what is said in these words, 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, at this present time?

Let us take a view of the Apostle's reasoning; Hath God cast away his people? No: for I also am an Israelite, and he hath not cast me off. And as in the days of Elijah there was a remnant, even so it is 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, at this very present time. How unfitly would this argue that the calling of the Nation was to be after a great many ages? But if we will suppose that the Jews had for the greatest part of them been cast off, blinded and hardned before the times of Christ, and the Apostle, then this reasoning will run easily, and smoothly: let it be granted, that the Nation, as to the main body of it, was cast away for some ages past; yet, is it so cast away, that there is no hope for any Jew? By no means. For 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, at this present time there is a remnant, as it was in the days of Elijah; I my self am one of that remnant.
