Reas. 4. That so the divine Prophesies of the Scripture may be fulfilled. It must needs be that what ever God hath spoken by his holy Prophets should be accomplished, Isa. 44.6. Hence divers times in the Scripture it is said, that this and the other thing came to pass, that so that might be fulfilled which was befo•• spoken by the Prophets. See Matth. 1.23. & 13.14, 34, 35. & 26.54, 56. Now the Prophets have spoken concerning this salvation of the Tribes of Israel: This mystery of God hath been ⟨p. 51⟩declared by the Prophets, Rev. 10.7. Yea the truth is, that all the Prophets which have written since the world began have spoken more or less concerning this matter; for this you may see an express place of Scripture, Acts 3.21, 24. And let any man unto whom God hath given understanding, impartially search the writings of the Prophets, and he shall find that this was their great design, to fore-tell the glory of Messiah his kingdom, which will appear after all Israel shall be saved. The truth is, that there is not any one prophetical book (the book of Jonah is rather an History than a Prophecy) in all the Scripture, be it in Old Testament or in New, which doth not speak something concerning the salvation of Israel. Therefore this must needs be brought to pass.
