Vers. 9. But I will bring a seed out of Jacob, and out of Judah that shall inherit my mountain: and mine elect shall inherit it, and my servants shall dwell there.
Vers. 9. But I will bring a seed out of Iacob, and out of Iudah that shall inherit my mountaine: and mine elect shall inherit it, and my seruants shall dwell there.
1The Prophet explains the former verse in other words, and shows that the Lord will reserve a seed unto himself, which shall call upon his name.2 For he hath been wont so to chastise his people, that he hath still continued a Church, in which his truth and pure religion might be kept. For which cause also S. Paul calls her the pillar and ground of truth: 1. Tim. 3.15. We are not to judge of the Church then, by the estate of things here below (seeing there is nothing steadfast in this world) but by the counsel of God, who cannot endure to see her either overthrown or destroyed. Let us carefully remember this then, that so no calamities, ruins, nor desolations of the Church may astonish us.
