the_o 16._o israel_n of_o god_n and_o be_v of_o the_o faith_n of_o abraham_n to_o be_v the_o child_n of_o abraham_n gal._n iii_o 7._o and_o so_o to_o have_v right_a to_o the_o truth_n which_o god_n have_v by_o oath_n confirm_v to_o jacob_n and_o his_o mercy_n to_o abraham_n to_o who_o be_v before_o preach_v that_o gospel_n in_o thou_o shall_v all_o nation_n be_v bless_v v_o 8._o for_o the_o

to_o that_o only_a which_o be_v of_o the_o law_n but_o to_o that_o also_o which_o be_v of_o the_o faith_n of_o abraham_n who_o be_v the_o father_n of_o we_o all_o ibid._n v._n 16._o on_o refel_v his_o calumny_n therefore_o in_o call_v christian_n ed●mites_n or_o esavite_n and_o exclude_v we_o in_o that_o notion_n from_o any_o part_n in_o that_o mercy_n to_o abraham_n we_o shall_v not_o long_o stand_v it_o have_v no_o other_o ground_n then_o the_o inverterate_a malice_n of_o those_o who_o have_v refuse_v their_o own_o mercy_n towards_o those_o who_o have_v embrace_v and_o lay_v hold_n on_o it_o that_o we_o may_v return_v therefore_o from_o this_o digression_n to_o the_o word_n of_o the_o prophet_n we_o may_v from_o the_o word_n and_o concession_n of_o he_o who_o have_v occasion_v it_o by_o this_o his_o question_n and_o answer_v to_o it_o take_v advantage_n for_o our_o sum_n up_o of_o what_o be_v give_v we_o to_o understand_v from_o they_o as_o 1._o that_o the_o mercy_n in_o they_o mention_v belong_v not_o only_o to_o israel_n after_o the_o flesh_n but_o to_o those_o of_o other_o nation_n also_o as_o he_o allow_v to_o the_o child_n of_o ishmael_n and_o keturah_n who_o shall_v come_v in_o to_o god_n by_o the_o obedience_n of_o faith_n and_o so_o become_v of_o his_o israel_n be_v of_o israel_n faith_n 2_o lie_v that_o the_o mercy_n here_o promise_v be_v to_o be_v make_v good_a at_o and_o by_o the_o come_n of_o the_o messiah_n which_o be_v mean_v by_o the_o time_n of_o redemtion_n or_o restauration_n by_o he_o mention_v thus_o therefore_o as_o to_o the_o scope_n of_o the_o word_n we_o conclude_v that_o these_o word_n as_o a_o conclusion_n of_o the_o former_a prophecy_n concern_v the_o restauration_n of_o the_o jew_n and_o the_o confusion_n of_o their_o enemy_n contain_v a_o assurance_n of_o a_o temporal_a or_o corporal_a deliverance_n to_o they_o and_o be_v accomplish_v when_o god_n remember_v his_o covenant_n make_v with_o their_o forefather_n accept_v of_o their_o conversion_n pardon_v their_o sin_n and_o blot_v out_o their_o iniquity_n do_v free_v they_o from_o the_o babylonish_n captivity_n and_o bring_v they_o back_o into_o the_o promise_a land_n but_o that_o the_o expression_n be_v such_o as_o give_v to_o expect_v all_o that_o by_o virtue_n of_o god_n truth_n to_o jacob_n and_o mercy_n to_o abraham_n and_o oath_n to_o their_o forefather_n be_v to_o be_v expect_v seem_v to_o include_v a_o promise_n of_o christ_n that_o seed_n of_o abraham_n in_o which_o all_o the_o 25._o kindred_n of_o the_o earth_n be_v to_o be_v bless_v 16._o with_o all_o the_o benefit_n of_o his_o redemtion_n and_o so_o be_v by_o he_o fulfil_v in_o a_o high_a manner_n not_o of_o give_v to_o the_o jew_n any_o victory_n over_o all_o nation_n and_o earthly_a possession_n and_o dominion_n as_o they_o fond_o expect_v as_o we_o have_v above_o show_v and_o the_o author_n we_o have_v last_o mention_v here_o plain_o intimate_v in_o his_o word_n cite_v but_o of_o rescue_v all_o that_o come_v in_o to_o he_o and_o lie_v hold_v on_o his_o redemtion_n both_o jew_n and_o gentile_n of_o all_o nation_n out_o of_o the_o hand_n of_o worse_a enemy_n than_o the_o babylonian_n even_o sin_n and_o satan_n and_o make_v they_o citizen_n not_o of_o the_o earthly_a but_o of_o the_o heavenly_a jerusalem_n heir_n of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n and_o confer_v on_o they_o all_o spiritual_a blessing_n this_o also_o be_v comprehend_v in_o these_o word_n be_v full_o make_v good_a by_o christ_n take_v on_o himself_o the_o seed_n of_o abraham_n and_o come_v into_o the_o world_n for_o the_o work_n of_o our_o redemtion_n and_o set_v up_o his_o kingdom_n among_o man_n and_o call_v they_o without_o exclusion_n of_o any_o nation_n or_o condition_n into_o his_o church_n thus_o to_o understand_v the_o word_n of_o christ_n and_o his_o kingdom_n we_o learn_v both_o out_o of_o the_o hymn_n of_o the_o bless_a virgin_n mary_n and_o of_o zachary_n in_o the_o first_o chapter_n of_o s._n luke_n in_o both_o which_o much_o like_o the_o same_o expression_n be_v use_v as_o here_o and_o in_o the_o first_o it_o be_v say_v that_o by_o god_n send_v of_o christ_n he_o have_v holpen_v his_o servant_n israel_n in_o remembrance_n of_o his_o mercy_n as_o he_o speak_v to_o our_o father_n to_o abraham_n and_o to_o his_o seed_n for_o ever_o vers_fw-la 54_o 55._o and_o in_o the_o other_o that_o god_n have_v visit_v and_o redeem_v his_o people_n and_o have_v raise_v up_o a_o horn_n of_o salvation_n for_o we_o in_o the_o house_n of_o his_o servant_n david_n as_o he_o speak_v by_o the_o mouth_n of_o his_o holy_a prophet_n which_o have_v be_v since_o the_o world_n begin_v that_o we_o shall_v be_v save_v from_o our_o enemy_n and_o from_o the_o hand_n of_o all_o that_o hate_v we_o to_o perform_v the_o mercy_n promise_v to_o our_o father_n and_o to_o remember_v his_o holy_a covenant_n the_o oath_n which_o he_o swear_v to_o our_o father_n abraham_n that_o he_o will_v grant_v unto_o we_o vers_fw-la 68_o etc._n etc._n in_o christ_n therefore_o be_v that_o which_o be_v here_o mention_v god_n truth_n to_o jacob_n the_o mercy_n to_o abraham_n which_o he_o have_v swear_v unto_o the_o father_n from_o the_o day_n of_o old_a perform_v in_o he_o full_o 13._o yet_o so_o as_o to_o be_v still_o in_o perform_v unto_o the_o world_n end_n by_o his_o call_n into_o his_o church_n both_o jew_n a●d_v gentile_n and_o offer_v his_o salvation_n to_o they_o and_o blessing_n they_o with_o all_o spiritual_a blessing_n which_o salvation_n that_o the_o jew_n will_v not_o acknowledge_v but_o reject_v and_o he_o that_o bring_v it_o to_o expect_v only_o a_o temporal_a restauration_n by_o one_o who_o they_o fancy_v yet_o to_o come_v be_v their_o mere_a groundless_a obstinacy_n envy_v the_o extent_n of_o god_n boundless_a mercy_n promise_v in_o the_o seed_n of_o abraham_n to_o all_o nation_n for_o which_o we_o pity_v they_o and_o desire_v god_n that_o he_o will_v open_v their_o eye_n that_o they_o may_v see_v and_o acknowledge_v and_o lie_v hold_v on_o his_o salvation_n etc._n which_o he_o have_v prepare_v before_o the_o face_n of_o all_o people_n a_o light_n to_o lighten_v the_o gentile_n and_o the_o glory_n of_o his_o people_n israel_n thus_o much_o as_o to_o the_o word_n of_o this_o prophet_n we_o may_v only_o add_v a_o observation_n which_o the_o forementioned_a jew_n take_v from_o a_o ancient_a yalkut_o author_n of_o they_o viz._n that_o there_o be_v not_o any_o denunciation_n of_o hard_a thing_n to_o israel_n which_o be_v not_o conclude_v with_o promise_n of_o merc●_n among_o other_o instance_n as_o out_o of_o moses_n hosea_n joel_n amos_n jeremiah_n he_o bring_v this_o conclusion_n of_o micah_n prophecy_n in_o which_o after_o several_a judgement_n he_o shut_v up_o all_o with_o word_n of_o comfort_n and_o very_o remarkable_a in_o that_o kind_n be_v indeed_o this_o conclusion_n which_o to_o show_v how_o great_o god_n delight_v in_o mercy_n be_v utter_v in_o word_n give_v assurance_n of_o mercy_n not_o only_o to_o israel_n after_o the_o flesh_n upon_o their_o repentance_n but_o to_o all_o that_o shall_v in_o christ_n the_o promise_a seed_n by_o faith_n lay_v hold_v on_o his_o promise_n make_v to_o abraham_n and_o in_o he_o to_o all_o the_o kindred_n of_o the_o earth_n so_o that_o the_o gentile_n also_o read_v it_o can_v but_o glorify_v god_n and_o rejoice_v with_o his_o people_n and_o sing_v unto_o he_o that_o hymn_n which_o the_o 117._o apostle_n show_v to_o be_v fit_v to_o they_o viz._n o_o
