20. But Esaias is very bold , and saith , I was found of them that sought me not , I was made manifest unto them that asked not after me .

i. e. He speaks more boldly concerning the calling of the Gentiles, and the casting off the Iews. He used a holy Freedom, though it cost him dear, Hierome saith, he was sawn asunder, with a wooden Saw. This is a commendable property in a Preacher, vid. Act. 4.13. and 28.31.

viz. in Isay 65.1. The Apostle in this Citation differs in some words, both from the Hebrew text, and the LXX. as may appear to him that will com[illegible: 2 letters]re them together.

Compare this with Eph. 2.2. the advantage and advancement of the Gentiles, was altogether of free Grace, and an effect of Gods free Election.

Marginal references: Or, I have been found.; Or, I have been made.
