Besides the Authors mentioned, there is a very judicious Writer, viz. Dr. John Lightfoot, the late Learned Master of Katharine-Hall in Cambridge, by ⟨p. 9⟩whom the common Opinion of a future Calling of the Jews, is questioned▪ Although' I must crave Leave in some Things wherein we may differ, salva […] & charitate, to dissent from the Notions of that excellent Man, I freely confess that his Books have given great Light to […] and difficult Scriptures: I make Account that I possess a Treasure in having them. And I wish that all the Students in our Academy, who design the Ministry, were furnished with all his Works, which are published in Two Volumes in Folio. Nor does be so much deny as doubt of a General Conversion of the Jewish Nation. In his second Vol. p. 1123. he says, The Jews have forfeited their Privilege: The Gentiles refused the invisible Creator; but these rejected their God visible, and that for a Murderer. This makes me not believe the Call of the Jews, because they sinned beyond the Gentiles: They have sinned against such Light as shall never appear to Eyes again. Thus the Doctor.
