2. The ten Tribes shall be saved as well as the two Tribes. Some that have acknowledged a general conversion of the Jews, yet have denied that ever the ten Tribes should partake of that salvation: yea, even some (t)Jewish Rabbis, have denied this; but methinks the Scripture is marvellous clear and full for this as well as for the former particular. You'll say, But how is it proved, that the ten Tribes or Israelites, shall be saved as well as the two Tribes or Jews? Answ. 1. Because we read often in the Scripture concerning Israels salvation, as well as concerning Judahs salvation. Now though Israel in the New Testament doth sometimes note the two Tribes or Jews (as hath been said) yet, in the old Testament, Israel usually signifieth the ten Tribes, and not the Jews strictly so called. And it is an old observation, that (u)when Israel is put in contradistinction ⟨p. 16⟩unto Judah, the one noteth the ten Tribes, as the other the two Tribes. But we read often of the salvation of Israel, as in contradistinction unto Judah. See Jer. 30.3. & 33.7, 14, 24, 26. Moreover, the ten Tribes are usually signified by the names of Samaria, Gilead, Achor, Carmel, Ephraim, Joseph, &c. Now the Scripture speaketh of a restoration to be vouchsafed unto Samaria, Gilead, Achor, Carmel, Ephraim, Joseph. See Jer. 31.5, 6, 18, 20. Zech. 10.6, 7, 9, 10. Mic. 7.14. Obad. 19. Jer. 50.17, 19.
