…]
I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil, Mat. 5. 17. To perfect, fill up, repair, and make up … is any way …, to restore whatsoever hath been taken from it, by false interpretations of those which have striven to evacuate some parts of it; to require more explicitly what was obscure before, and where there is any need to increase and add to the Law. Dr. Ham. Par.
The Greek word foreign, is answerable to the Heb. foreign, which signifies not only foreign, to perform, but foreign, to perfect, to fill up, as well as to fulfil; and so is rendred sometimes by one, sometimes by the other.

To perform the speech of another or the truth of a matter even in evill things, or to have done acording as it was foretold it would came to passe, though not as a man ought; i. e. to do as God hath said men would do, but not as he hath said they should do.

Fulnesse]
How much more their fulnesse? Rom. 11. 12. How much more shall the addition of the multitude of Jewish believers, If they shall yet repent and come in, be matter of confirmation of the faith to the Gentiles, and a means to bring them all to receive it, to convert the Gentiles over all the world; The word foreign fullnesse, is a known famous word, used by the Ancients for the whole body of the congregation or Church compacted together, in opposition to schisms and breaches in it. And accordingly to be admited into the Church, is to be received into the Ecclesiastick fulnesse, according as Mat. 9. 16. foreign is the piece that being put into the garment the garment which was before torne, is made whole againe. In this sense I conceive the word is here to be taken for the Jews being added to the Church, their coming in, and laying holde on the Faith (being prevoked thereto by seeing the Gentiles believe) and so filling up the vacuity as it were which was formerly in the Church, by their standing out ….
