Now
it fol-

confider
of
the
uniting

and Gentile by
mean
of

Now
fecondly
confider,
in
what this one
-ment
ftandeth;
it
is
a
lirait conjunction, even into
one man
myflicall,
of
which
we
(hall
fpeak
hereafter. In the mean while, the fourth chap.
of
this
Epifle
will open unto
you the
contents
of
this
union; they
were not now
worfhippers
of
Diana, but
had one
God with
the Jew, they were
joynt
worfhippers
of
thetrue God,
one
in
fpirit;
an
effect
of
which
in
them
was,
to
be
of
one heart
and
minde,
in
one
hope,
in one
Faith.
It
may be
objected, that Chrift
his making
way
for the
Gentiles,
was
the
occafion
of
rejecting
of
the
Jew,
as
concerning the
Gofpel;
They
are
enemies
for
year
fake, the calling
away
of
them
is
the
reconcilia-
tion
of
the world,
Rom.
r
Secondly, we fee
that
fill
there are differences,
as
of
Jew, Turk,
and
Chrifüans.
For the
firft,
the rejecting
of
Ifrael
is
but
in
part,
and for
a time.,
z. This
is
though
Paid
to
be done ,
becaufe
itis in
part done
;
for
the
full
accomplifhment fhall
be,
when
all
Ifrael,
all
the
people
of
Jew and Gentile are called. 3.
Therefore
we are
one,
not that the
Jews and we
now go
hand
in
hand, but that the
ancient
Church
and
we
do
confpire
.
For
