Matthew Poole and continuators on Romans 11:14

14. If by any meanes I may provoke to emulation them which are my flesh, and might save some of them g.

q. d. And I thus Extol Gods Favour and Mercy to you, that it may be a meanes (if God please) to provoke the Iews, that are my own flesh and blood, to a holy Emulation o[illegible: 1 letter] jealousy, (vid. v. 11.) when they shall see the Gentiles possess what was promised to them. Q. How doth he say, That he may save some of them! is not God the Author of Salvation? A. Yes: but he hath given his Ministers to be Instruments therein, and called them Fellow workers with himself, 2 Cor. 6.1. vid. 1 Tim. 4.16.
