Verse 22. There should no flesh be saved]
That is, No Iew left alive; the Roman souldiers had been so often beaten by them, that* 1.1 they 〈◊〉〈◊〉 nothing more then to rid the world of them. But God, for his Covenant sake, preserved a remnant of them, as he ever softeneth the sword of his justice in the oil of his mercy, as Nicephorus hath it. 〈◊〉〈◊〉 attributeth it to Titus his clemency: but our Saviour here better, to Gods infinite mercy to his elect. These are the salt of the earth, that sprinkled here and there, pre∣serve it from putrifying and perishing. God gave all the souls that were in the ship to Paul, and all that were in Zoar to Lot. If it were not for his elect in the world, he would make a short work in the earth, Rom. 9. 28.
