Does E. H. obtain the information, that Jesus Christ "came to gather up the lost sheep of the house of Israel," from the revelation in the Scripture, or from his own pretended revelation? If from the former, does not the same authority declare, that Jesus Christ came to save the Gentiles, as well as the Jews?

"Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession." Ps. ii. 7, 8. "It is a light thing that thou shouldest be my servant, to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to restore the preserved of Israel; |
I will also give thee for a light to the Gentiles, that thou mayest be my salvation to the end of the earth." Isa. xlix. 6. "That he might reconcile both, [Jews and Gentiles] unto God in one body by the cross, having. slain the enmity thereby." Eph. ii. 16. |
