Coke's Commentary on the Holy Bible

Romans 9:27,28

A remnant shall be saved— That is, Only a remnant. So ch. Romans 14:2. Eats only herbs, John 18:8. If ye seek me, (that is, only me,) let these go their way. Mr. Locke would translate the next verse, For the Lord, finishing and contracting the account, in righteousness, shall make a short or small remainder in the earth.—A metaphor taken from an account, wherein the matter is so ordered, that the overplus or remainder, standing still upon the account, is very little. Compare Isaiah 28:22 and Daniel 9:27.
