In which he plainly confesses no marvell if the Jews stumble because they shall be left in a thick spirituall Myst of blindnesse Blindnesse in part is happened to Israel untill the fulnesse of the Gentiles be come in They frame their faith into an imagination of two Messiahs that shall come the one the sonne of Ioseph the other the sonne of David His glorie is like the firstling of a Bullock Deu. 33. 17. that is the sonne of Ioseph Zach. 9. 9.
