God Has Not Rejected Israel

1

I Demaund then, Hath God cast away his people? God forbid: for I also am an Israelite, of the seede of Abraham, of the tribe of Beniamin.

2

God hath not cast away his people which he knew before. Know ye not what the Scripture sayth of Elias, howe hee communeth with God against Israel, saying,

3

Lord, they haue killed thy Prophets, and digged downe thine altars: and I am left alone, and they seeke my life?

4

But what saith the answere of God to him? I haue reserued vnto my selfe seuen thousand men, which haue not bowed the knee to Baal.

5

Euen so then at this present time is there a remnant according to the election of grace.

6

And if it be of grace, it is no more of workes: or els were grace no more grace: but if it be of workes, it is no more grace: or els were worke no more worke.

7

What then? Israel hath not obtained that he sought: but the election hath obteined it, and the rest haue bene hardened,

8

According as it is written, God hath giuen them the spirit of slumber: eyes that they should not see, and eares that they should not heare vnto this day.

9

And Dauid sayth, Let their table be made a snare, and a net, and a stumbling blocke, euen for a recompence vnto them.

10

Let their eyes be darkened that they see not, and bowe downe their backe alwayes.
