} Your exposition Of Rom 6, 81, doe
not seem to satisfy yourself. Yon nc,
turn about and ask me to show tha
hoi polloi here signifies all men. II
which answer first that DR.. Macknigh
DR.. Clarke, and Mr.. Barnes all understand
and render the text in that way. Second
the whole scope OF the chapter is to sho,
that sin is universal, has power, or do
minion over our whole race, and that tn
reign of grace shall even superabound tn
reign of sin. Sin has enslaved the world
Grace shall save it. All men have be
come sinners through Adams sin. AL
shall become righteous by the obedience
of Christ. Third hoi polloi and pante,
alI are used INTERCHANGEABLE through
throughout the chapter. "They are cal
led many" says Hodge on Romans, "be
cause they are many, aud for the sake o
the antithesis, they are called one. And
thus my proof but aflirms plainly my pro-
position, that is, by the Offence Of one
many (all,) were made sinners, so by the
obedience Of one, ahall many. (all) be
made righteous. The text affirms uhi,
mate universal Righteousness.
In this letter, written amid pressing
duties, and while absent from home,
shall only add few proof texts.
/. Romans II 25. 20 "For I would
not, brethren, that ye should be igno-
rant Of this mystery. lest ye should be
wise in your own conceits; that blindness
in part is happened to Israel, until the ful
ness Of the Gentiles be come in. And so
all Israel shall be saved as it is written
There shall come out OF Sion the Deliver
er, and shall turn away ungodliness
from Jacob For this is my covenant
unto them, when shall take away their
sins. As concerning the gospel they are
enemies for your sakes but as touching
the election, they are beloved for the
fathers sexes"
Paul shows first that uot all the Jews
had been cast away. There was rem
nant wuo had believed. But the mass
were blinded. Yet this same mass, then
shut up in unbelief will finally be re.
deemed. 2Heir unbelief would not be
1t would endure only until
the fullness of the Gentiles should come
n, and then their blindness should be
aiken away, spd all Lsreal shall be
saved. Thus in the plainest and most
explicit terms, ST. Paul affirms that the
IDENTICAL people who had been tempora-
lily rejected shall finally be saved.
You cannot refer this to spiritual Isra-
i for those who were then spiritually the
children of Abraham entered into that
aithful mans rest. But it predicts the
inal redemption of those who were then
elected. And the comprehensive ex
ression all Israel must embrace both the
rst fruits and the lump.
Nor can we say that the text simply
redicts time when the Gentiles having
cen converted, the Jews then living on
no earth shall be saved. All Israel shall
e saved, and this must include the mil
ons who have died, the whole race. Ols-
ausen says we cannot well understand
,e text only on the ground of an entire
and it manifestly predicts
,storation of the identical people who
ere then blinded, and lost. The first
'uits and the lump, the root and the
ranches, shall all be saved, for "aH Is
lel shall be saved"
As showing still stranger the univer-
'lity here implied, compare this text
ith Hebrews 8: lO-l5
"For this is tho covenant that / will 6
AXE with the house of Israel after those ,

to their mind, and write them in their =
carts: and / will be to them God, and !.

Here Paul fortells a time when the o
ID shall take away the sins Of the Jews. G
