and now for 1600 years they have been cast off from being his people. And of the goodness of God towards Abraham, in choosing his seed after him, even many thousands of them, the Jews had sensible experience that very day he spake unto them from Mount Sinai; he did not mean to trouble their brains with any Algebra in counting up a thousand generations. But suppose this were granted him; yet these that fear him, being only within the pale of his Church, what a small handful were these, in comparison to all the world of heathens besides, that hated him? Mark what difference S. Paul puts between the Jews and the Gentiles, when he saith, we Jews by nature, not sinners of the Gentiles. Gal. 2. And the Psalmist before him Psal. 147. He showeth his word unto Jacob, his statutes and ordinances to Israel, he hath not dealt so with every nation, neither have they known his judgements. According whereunto the Apostle having demanded, saying, What is then the preferment of the Jew? or what is the profit of circumcision? Answereth thus, Much every way, and chiefly because unto them were committed the Oracles of God. Rom. 3. 1, 2. And the same Apostle doth not acknowledge the Gentiles to have obtained mercy at the hands of God, until the time of their calling by the Ministry of the Gospel. Rom. 11. 30. in these words: Ye in times past have not believed God, yet have now obtained mercy through their unbelief. This might suffice for answer to this argument, taking it in the full strength thereof. But I am content to run over the whole discourse, and to take every part of it into consideration.

But suppose this were granted him; yet these that feare him, being only within the pale of his Church, what a small handfull were these, in comparison to all the world of heathens besides, that hated him?
