That their rejection was not universal, he proveth, first from his own example, who was an Israelite, ⟨p. 89⟩ver. 1. 2. From Gods fore knowledge which is immutable, ver. 2. 3. From the like reservation, which God made of a remnant, in the days of Elijah, ver. 3, 4, 5, 6. And this reserving of a remnant he amplifieth by the cause, the election of grace, ver. 5, 6. And by the contrary, the rejection of the rest, which he proveth by the testimony of Isay 7.8. also of David, ver. 9, 10. And thus far he defendeth the faithful seed of the Jews against the general rejection of that Nation.
