It is added fourthly, That the parallel proportion of phrase argueth the anointed Prince, § 14 v. 25. to be the Prince of the Covenant, Chap. 11.22. which there doth signify the Princes of the Waldenses.
It is added fourthly, That the parallel proportion of phrase argueth the annointed Prince, § 14 v. 25. to be the Prince of the Covenant, Chap. 11.22. which there doth signifie the Princes of the Waldenses.
Answ. (1.) That expression [Greek or Hebrew], v. 25. is not well rendered the Anointed Prince. It is Messiah the Prince, King, or Leader; as all Translations what ever agree. And indeed this is, if not the only, yet far the most signal place in the whole Old Testament wherein the promised Redeemer is directly called the MESSIAH, whence his usual Appellation in both Churches, Judaical and Christian is taken. For there is not above one place more where he is immediately and directly so called, and not in his Types; neither is that place without Controversy. To interpret this expression therefore in this place otherwise, is to take away the foundation of that Name of our Redeemer, by which the Holy Ghost in the New Testament doth principally propose him unto our Faith and Obedience; which certainly would be in prejudicium fidei Christianae. (2.) The Prince of the Covenant, Chap. 11. v. 22. in those wars of Antiochus Epiphanes, or Persecutions of Antichrist, (I determine not whether) may be another from Messiah the Prince here promised.
