Exod. 12. v. 42. It is a night much to be observed. Hierusal. Targ. This is the fourth § 7 night, (it had mentioned three before) when the End of this present world shall be accomplished to be dissolved, and the Cords of impiety shall be wasted, and the Iron Yoke shall be broken; that is, the people of God shall be delivered; whereunto is added; [Greek or Hebrew], M•s•s shall come forth from the midd••t of the Wilderness, and the King Messiah from the middest of Rome. That of the Messiah coming out of Rome is Talmudical, depending on a Fable which we shall afterwards give an account of. And we may here, once for all observe, that although they believe that their Messiah is to be a mere man, born after the manner of all other men, yet they never speak of his Birth or Nativity, as a thing that they looked for; only they speak of his coming, but most commonly of his being revealed, and their great expectation is, when he shall be discovered and revealed. And this proceedeth out of a secret self-conviction, that he was born long since, even at the time promised and appointed; only that he is hidden from them, as indeed he is, though not in the sense by them imagined. But what makes the Application of the night of the Passover to the coming of the Messiah? They cannot imagine that he shall come unto them whilst they are celebrating that Ordinance; for that is not lawful for them, unless they were at Jerusalem, whither they believe they shall never return until he come and go before them. It is then from some Tradition amongst them, that their Deliverance out of Egypt was a Type of the Deliverance by the Messiah, whose Sacrifice and suffering was represented in the Paschal Lamb, which gave occasion unto this Gloss.
