§ 30 After the giving of this Promise, the whole Old Testament beareth witness, that a Person was to be born of the Posterity of Abraham, in and by whom the Nations of the Earth should be saved, that is delivered from sin and Curse and made eternally happy. Abraham died himself without one foot of an Inheritance in this world, nor ⟨p. 91⟩did he concern himself personally in the Nations of the Earth beyond his own Family. Another therefore is to be looked after in whom they may be blessed. And this we must further demonstrate, to evince the perverseness of the Jews who exclude all others besides themselves from an interest in these Promises made to Abraham, at least unless they will come into subjection unto them, and dependence upon them. So high conceits have they yet of themselves in their low and miserable condition. The next time therefore that he is mentioned in the Scripture, it is said [Greek or Hebrew], to him shall be, the gathering of the Peoples. Gen. 49.10. concerning which place we must treat afterwards at large. The People of the world, distinct from Judah shall gather themselves unto him; that is, for safety and deliverance, or to be made partakers of the Promised Blessing.
