The event is; That he should be made small: the fulfilling whereof, is mentioned by Malachi. I have made 1his mountains wast, and his heritage a wilderness for dragons. For, though after Malachi, Idumeans dwelt there, yet since is that of the same Prophet fulfilled: They shall build, but I will destroy. Now when we see things so long before told of, in their due time fulfilled, this must be a ground, & stand for our weak faith concerning things to come, as the last and eternal judgement: that, as we have seen the particular judgements fulfilled on Edom, Jerusalem, &c. we assure our selves, that what hath passed from the mouth of the Lord, 2shall most certainly come to pass Gen. 41. 32.
