Isaiah11:14

Ver. 14. But they ſhall flee upon the ſhoulders] A Metaphor from Conquerers who purſue their enemies, and fall upon the bones of them, as we ſay. The meaning is, The Gentiles ſhall be converted to the Chriſtian faith by the Jews, See Gen. 49.8. viz. by the Apoſtles and other Preachers of the Goſpel. Thus Philip was found at Azotus, or Aſhdod, Act. 8. Peter at Joppe, Act. 10. At Gaza and Askelon were many flouriſhing Churches in the times of Athanaſius and Chryſoſtom, Tertul. ſaith Adrichomius. Brittannorum inacceſſa Romanis loca, Chriſto patuerunt.
