Matth. 3. Ver. 9. Say not, Woe have Abraham to our Father.

This was their common boasting: as Joh. 9. 33. the Chaldee Paraphrast, and R. Sol. on Isai. 62. 6. And so doth Rabbi Solomon conceive, that the Edomites were proud of their descent from A∣braham as well as the Jews: for thus hee expoundeth those words in the Prophecy of Obadiah, ver. 3. Which dwellest in the clefts of the Rocke: Hee leaneth upon the staffe of his Fathers, Abraham and Isaac, and they will not profit him.
