And yet that which follows confirms their opinion, who expound this place of both kingdoms: they (saith he) shall walk no more after the stubbornness of their wicked heart: for this is not wont to be affirmed of such as are merely profane, who have always been strangers from the doctrine of the Law. In regard this then, appertains by a special right, to the Jews, and Israelites; therefore it seems this exposition will suit best, to take all nations here, for the ten tribes, or for the whole nation.

1It follows in the next words, and according to the same sense: In those days, the house of Judah shall come, with the house of Israel. Hereby it is easy to judge, that the Prophet hath rather spoken of Abraham's posterity, than of strange nations: for this verse is added by way of exposition. Say that one should have asked, what is meant by these words,2 All nations shall come? In this verse he answers, All nations shall come, because the house of Israel shall be reunited with the house of Judah: that is to say, there shall be no more any seed of dissensions sown between these two houses; in regard they shall embrace each other with a brotherly affection, and shall acknowledge, that they have in such wise issued from one and the same fountain, that henceforth they ought to dwell ⟨p. 179⟩together as one people. In a word, this 18. verse is the exposition of that, which the Prophet spake in the former.
