From John Bunyan’s, The Strait Gate:
(7.) God showed his servant Ezekiel how few
there would be saved in his day, by the vision of
a few hairs saved out of the midst of a few
hairs; for the saved were a few saved out of a
few. (Eze 5:5)(8.) You find in the time of the prophet
Micah, how the godly complain, that as to
number they then were so few, that he
compares them to those that are left behind
when they had gathered the summer- fruit.
(Micah 7:1)
