Isaiah49:20

20. The children which thou shalt have, after thou hast lost the other, shall say again in thine eares, The place is too [illegible: 1+ letters]raight for me: give place to me that I may dwell.

Heb. The Children of thine orbity or barren and Childless-slate. Those Children which thou shalt have when thou art grown past the ordinary age and state of Childbearing, as Sarah in that case was made the Mother of a most numerous posterity: to which he seems here to allude. Those Gentiles which shall be begotten by thee, to wit, by the Ministry of thy Children, Christ and his Apostles, when thou shalt be deprived of thine own natural Children, when thou shalt become barren and unfruitful as to Conversion of natural Iews, when the generallity of the Iews shall cut themselves off from God, and from his true Church by their Apostacy from God; and by their unbelief, and obstinate refusal of their Messiah.

Or rather, shall yet say, though for the present it be otherwise.
