Because, saith he, in no place of the New Testament this Prophecy is used against the Jews to prove the Messiah already come.
Answ. Might this Reason be allowed as cogent, it would disarm the Christian Church of the principal Testimonies which in the Old Testament it hath always rested in, to prove that the Messiah is long since come, and that Jesus of Nazareth is he. For as any of that nature are sparingly recorded in the Writings of the Gospel, so of the most evident and illustrious unto that purpose, there is no mention at all therein. And it is most evident, that as well in dealing with the Jews, as in his instruction of his own Disciples, the Lord Jesus made use of innumerable other Testimonies, then what are recorded in the Books of the New Testament. So also did his Apostles, and other Primitive Teachers of the Gospel. Hence are they said to prove Jesus to be the Christ out of Moses and the Prophets, and he to have instructed his Disciples out of Moses and all the Prophets in the things concerning himself; and yet the particular places, whereby the one and other was performed, are not recorded.
