1But these are but a few, called by Isaiah a remnant, A remnant according to election, 2as it is: Rom. 11. A handful in comparison of the world, yet they are a world in respect of themselves: for they are a world taken out of the world: but compared with the rest of mankind, they are but as a few grapes after the vintage, as the gleanings after the harvest, one of a City, and two of a Tribe. The Prophets ⟨p. 87⟩every one of them have special phrases, to let out the fewness of those that God hath a special care of, he calls them in the next verse the remnant of Israel. God will have some continually: but those are but a few that are his, his flock is but a little ••ocke.
