1. This was included in the Faith of Believers, who granted him to be the Messiah. For nothing was more plainly promised under the Old Testament, nor more firmly believed by the Church, than that the Messiah was to be of the Tribe of Judah, and of the Family of David. And thus it was [Greek or Hebrew] manifest to them ⟨p. 183⟩before-hand. For unto Judah the Promise was Solemnly confined, Gen. 49. 8, 9, 10. and frequently reiterated unto David, as I have showed elsewhere. Whoever therefore acknowledged our Lord Jesus Christ to be the true Messiah, as all the Hebrews did unto whom our Apostle wrote, though the most of them adhered unto the Law and Ceremonies of it, they must and did grant, that he sprang of the Tribe of Judah. And none of the Unbelieving Jews made use of this Objection, that he was not of the Tribe of Judah, which if they could have managed, had absolutely Justified them in their Unbelief. This was sufficient unto the purpose of the Apostle, seeing he proceeded not only on what was granted among them, but firmly believed by them, and not denied by their Adversaries.
