2. There is carnal or ⟨p. 7⟩natural Israel, h. e. those that are by generation of the seed of Jacob, who was afterwards called Israel. Hence we read of Israel after the flesh, as well as Israel after the spirit, 1 Cor. 10.18. Rom. 9.4, 5. Gal. 4.23. Now of this Israel doth the Apostle here speak, as you may see Rom. 11.14. Nor indeed had he declared (*)such a mystery as he speaketh of, verse 25. if only he had said that the elect should be saved. Doubtless the Romans knew that before, whereas this salvation of Israel was a mystery that they little thought of, and thence behaved themselves too arrogantly and contemptuously towards the, at present, forlorn and rejected Israelites, which error of theirs our Apostle laboureth to correct, by informing them, that there would a time come when Jews should be saved as well as Gentiles.
