In Pag. 48. at line 31. after these words, Vers. 17. (In the last dayes) The dayes of the Gospel, because there is no way of salvation to bee expected beyond the Gosspell: whereas there was the Gospel beyond the Law, and the Law beyond the light of the ages before it. Adde yet is this most properly to be understood of those dayes of the Gospel that were before Ierusalem was destroyed: And the phrase the last dayes used here and in divers other places is not to bee taken for the last dayes of the world, but for the last dayes of Ierusalem: the destruction of which and the rejection of the Jewes is reputed the end of that old world, and the comming in of the Gentiles under the Gospel, is as a new world, and is accordingly called a new heaven and a new earth.
