loves; but the understanding of the promised time does not depend on the
heart. And thus the clear prediction of the time, and the obscure prediction
of the blessings, deceive the wicked alone.

760. The Jews reject Him, but not all. The saints receive Him, and not the
carnal-minded. And so far is this from being against His glory, that it is
the last touch which crowns it. For their argument, the only one found in
