HE prosecutes the same argument still. For he shows how wonderful this work of redemption shall be,1 when those that persecuted or despised the Church, shall come to prostrate themselves humbly before her feet, and with their whole hearts shall submit themselves to her service. By the children of those that afflicted her, he means the tyrants and persecutors which vexed her. Now this was partly accomplished when the Jews returned into their country. But this return was but an obscure shadow of that deliverance which we have obtained by Christ. Thus these things then were truly accomplished under Christs kingdom; yet so, that we must wait for the perfect consummation thereof, till his second coming: as in another place before we have noted.
