Not illustrated. 1841 edition. Excerpt: ...have you to say? that the son is unworthy? Well, but so is this man unworthy, and much more so. Hence he ought either to have been punished along with the former, or to have been honoured along with him. Now it was something of this sort which befell the Jews and the Gentiles, or something far more strange than this. Now that all were unworthy, he has shewn above, where he says, Hom. 3, For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God. But the new thing is, that when all were unworthy, the Gentiles were saved alone. And beside this there is another difficulty that some one may start, he says. If God had no intention of fulfilling the promises to them, why make them at all? For men who know not the future, and are many times deceived, do promise even the undeserving that they shall have their largesses. But He who knoweth beforehand things to come as well as things present, and hath a clear knowledge that they will make themselves undeserving of the promises, and therefore will not receive any of the things specified, --why should He promise at all? Now what is Paul's way of meeting all this? It is by shewing what the Israelite is to whom He made the promise. For when this has been shewn, there is at the same time demonstrated the fact that the promises were all fulfilled. And to point this out he said, For they are not all Israel that are of Israel. And this is why he does not use the name of Jacobh, but h DiJymus in Psalm 97, 3. and Hesych. ps. 52, 7. ap. Corderium, t. 2. St. Paul meets an objection by a greater difficulty. 289 that of Israel, which was a sign of the virtue of that just Rom. man, and of a gift from above, and of having seen God. g9-j Yet, all, he says, have sinned, and come short of the glory 28.' of God.
