Matthew12:21
21 And in his name shall the Gentiles trust.
This makes some think, that the bringing of Judgment into Victory, referreth to the final Destruction of the Iews by the Romans, after which the Gentiles came more universally to receive the Gospel. Tho Christ be Meek and Gentle with men a long time, while there is any Hope of their Reformation: Yet, he will not be so meek and patient always. Neither was he so with the Iews. But the falling of them proved the rising of the Gentiles; Christ is beholden to no People for bearing the Name of his Church; if the Iews fail in their Duty, they shall be cast off, and in his Name shall the Gentiles trust. God is able of stones to raise up Children unto Abraham, Isaiah saith, the Isles shall wait for his Law, his Law both of Faith and Hol[illegible: 1 letter]n[illegible: 1 letter]ss, shall be acceptable to the Gentiles. The term Law, here seemeth to expound that Phrase, v. 18. He shall shew Iudgment to the Gentiles, that is right things, he shall give them his Law.
