34. When authorities and powers are abolished, His enemies shall be subjected under His feet. The same Apostle tells who are these enemies, As touching the Gospel they are enemies for your sakes, but as touching the election they are beloved for the fathers’ sake775    Rom. xi. 28.. We remember that they are enemies of the cross of Christ; let us remember also that, because they are beloved for the fathers’ sake, they are reserved for the subjection, as the Apostle says, I would not, brethren, have you ignorant of this mystery, lest ye be wise in your own conceits, that a hardening in part hath befallen Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in, and so all Israel shall be saved, even as it is written, There shall come out of Sion a Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob: and this is the covenant firm Me to them, when I have taken away their sins776    Ib. 25–27.. So His enemies shall be subjected under His feet.

34. Qui inimici Christo sint subjiciendi.---Evacuatis 0421C itaque magistratibus et potestatibus, subjicientur ei sub pedibus inimici ejus. Et quos inimicos intelligi oporteat, idem Apostolus docuit, dicens: Secundum 0422A Evangelium quidem inimici propter vos, secundum electionem autem dilecti propter patres (Rom. XI, 28). Hos ergo inimicos crucis Christi meminimus: sed quia diecti propter patres sunt, scimus eos subjectioni reservatos, secundum quod dictum est: Non enim volo vos ignorare, fratres, sacramentum hoc, ut non sitis vobis sapientes: quoniam ex parte obtusio facta est in Israel, quoad usque plenitudo nationum intret; et sic omnis Israel liberabitur, sicut scriptum est (Esai. LIX, 20 et seqq.), Et veniet a Sion, qui liberet, et avertat impietates ab Jacob, et hoc illis a me testamentum est, cum abstulero iniquitates eorum (Ibid. 25 et seqq). Inimici ergo subjicientur sub pedibus ejus.
