It signifieth the very 〈◊〉 of their favor and visage, deforming their natural complexi on, and pining themselves to make their faces pale, that so men might the better take notice of their much fasting. Leigh. C. S.

This 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 , being used as a means to make others believe that they are in a condition of sadness and fasting; and of sadness, as that may be an evidence and reporter of their fasting: so it may possibly signify only 〈◊〉 , they do not 〈◊〉 and set out themselves as men 〈◊〉 do, when no sad occasion forbids it. See v. 17. But it may also signify to hide, cover; and it's known that that of hiding, veiling, or 〈◊〉 the face, was customary among the 〈◊〉 , and hath been so among other Nations in time of mourning; and so still among us the use of 〈◊〉 in close mourning is observed, and veils are generally the garment of mourners. See 2 Sam. 19. 4. Est. 6. 12. Ezek. 24. 7, 22. Mic. 3. 7. And then why may not this be the meaning here? Dr. Hammond on Matth. 6. 16. Annot. h.

The Disputer (saith Goodwin in his Moses and Aaron, p. 34.) insisted upon Allegories, and searched our mystical interpretations of the Text. Hence himself was 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 ; and his Exposition or Homily, Midrasch, and their School, Beth Hammidrasch. They were counted their profoundest Interpreters; whence that of the Psalmist, Psal. 84. 7. They go from strength to strength, is interpreted, from their Temple to their Beth Hammidresch; from an inferior to a higher School.

2 Cor. 4. 8. Yet not distressed. The Original 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 , signifieth not every pressure, but to be so pressed by a throng in a narrow place, so that we cannot possibly get out; the meaning of the Apostle then is, that though they were laid in wait for, and beset on all sides, and were enforced to strive and struggle with all their might, yet that they 〈◊〉 , and that God gave them an issue with the 〈◊〉 , how great soever it were, 1 Cor. 10. 13.

Lev. 19. 19. The Hebrew 〈◊〉 is a general word for all mixed things, as the Chaldee. translateth it, as in beasts, seeds, garments, and the like, and it hath the name of restraint, or prohibition, because such mixtures are forbidden. Ainsworth.

The reason of this was, that the order of Nature in the distinct kinds of creatures might be preserved; and with this there was implied an instruction against mixtures of Religion; as the prohibition of mingling of eed of several sorts, and the wearing of a Linsey-woolsey garment, in this verse, was a document or lesson of simplicity, or sincerity, against double dealing. Annot.

It's in effect the same with various and manifold, and is spoken of seeds, Deut. 29. 9. 〈◊〉 , Deut. 25. 13. weights and 〈◊〉 , Prov. 20. 10.

Act. 16. 16. 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 . This is an 〈◊〉 of Apollo, who was wont to give answers to them that inquired. He was named Pythius, which Deut. 11. 18. is called 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 . So 1 Sam. 28. 7. Annot. 〈◊〉 signifieth a bottle, 〈◊〉 32. 19. applied to Magicians, who possessed with an evil spirit, speak with hollow voice as out of a bottle, and (as some say) with 〈◊〉 bellies; whereupon the Gr. version usually calleth them, Eggastrimuthoi, as speaking out of the 〈◊〉 . But the holy Ghost in Act. 16. 16. expoundeth it more fully, the spirit of Python, (or of Divination ) meaning, of the 〈◊〉 , whose answers were given to the Heathen by these means; the chief whereof was called Pythius Apollo, and his Temple Pythion, and his Feast Pythia, kept to his honor, who was feigned to kill the Serpent Python.

To divine]

;;To tell things to come, as a Soothsayer, by the help of an 〈◊〉 spirit.

;;2. To devise and find out ways and means how to know that which is hard to be known. Gen. 44. 5. Know ye not 〈◊〉 such a man as I can divine?

;; Note: Such as expound this of Divination, they offer 〈◊〉 unto, and wrest the words both in ver. 5, & 15. and 〈◊〉 30. 27. Also they unjustly burden Joseph with a 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 ; as if he would attribute to 〈◊〉 , and glory, as if he had not received from God the gift of knowing things secret, which he did not before 〈◊〉 , being new come out of prison, ch. 41. 16.

Let him write her a Bill of 〈◊〉 , and put it into her hand. The Jews did not this by precept from God, but by permission from Moses, who allowed such a Letter of divorce for the safety of such wives as had cruel and hard-hearted husbands, as it is written, Mat. 19. 8. Moses suffered you for the hardness of your hearts to put away your 〈◊〉 , 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 the beginning it was not so. Therefore such Jewish divorce, was evil morally, but not 〈◊〉 . Divorce 〈◊〉 Adultery allowed by Christ, Mat. 5. 33. also 19. 5. The Papists hold, that the bond of marriage (being an holy Sacrament, as they say) cannot upon any cause be broken, but is inviolable till death: and therefore, if Adultery be committed by either party, they allow a divorce ( a thoro ) from bed only, and do not give leave to the innocent party to marry again.

With whom we have to do]

Heb. 12. 13. that is, say some, unto whom we must give an account, Rom. 2. 16. & 14. 10. but it ought rather to be translated, of whom is our speech; or, of whom we speak: so the Greek preposition is often used. See chap. 1. 7. Luk. 20. 19. Rom. 10. 21. Annot.

The door is now shut, Luk. 11. 7. The Romans were wont to express the first part of the night, the close of the evening, by prima face; candle-lighting. A latter part, other Nations expressed by shutting up the doors, called in Gr. 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 , which time was wont by a kind of Bell-man to be cried about the streets. Thus in this place the door is shut, is meant as an expression of the 〈◊〉 of the time of night, and is expressed verse. 5. by 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 , at midnight. Dr. Hammond Annot. b.

Dore]

;;A City, by 〈◊〉 of the part. Cant. 8. 9. And if she be a Dore we will keep her in with boards of Cedar.

If she go forward in faith and practice of the Gospel, that she be not only built up as a wall but as a gate and door fully edified, as at the repairing of Jerusalem, when they sanctified the gates, and set up the doors of it, Neh. 3. which gates, doors, bars, &c. were for the safeguard of the Inhabitants, and shown their care to resist and keep out the enemies (as appeareth by the contrary in Jer. 49. 31.) as also to open that the righteous Nation which keepeth the truths may enter 〈◊〉 , Psal. 118. 20. Isa. 26. 2. Therefore Angels are at the gates of the heavenly City to conduct God's people 〈◊〉 it, Rev. 21. 12, 27. & 22. 14. Ainsworth. See Boards of 〈◊〉 .

Dore]

;;The conscience and heart of sinners, whereby Christ finds entrance into us, Rev. 3. 20. He 〈◊〉 at the door. According to some, [ Dore ] signifies all hindrances, inward and outward, to keep Christ from entering. This is a good 〈◊〉 , because our heart is the house, rather then the door.

;;2. An open way, mean, and passage, given of God to John the Evangelist, that he might see and understand such deep and hidden secrets, so shut up in heaven, as no human capacity could 〈◊〉 have reached to perceive 〈◊〉 . Rev. 4. 1. 〈◊〉 a door was opened in 〈◊〉 .

Dore of faith]

;;The doctrine of the Gospel, by which (as by a door) we enter into God, and he entereth into us. Act. 14. 27. God hath 〈◊〉 the door of faith unto the Gentiles.

Dore of hope]

;;The first entrance into the hoped for inheritance and blessings of God. Hos. 2. 15. And the valley of Achor for the door of hope. This 〈◊〉 was the valley into which the Israelites first came, being once gotten over 〈◊〉 , when they went to take possession of 〈◊〉 , Josh. 7. 16.

Dore of my lips]

;;The lips which are as a door, by which our words pass out. This door is opened by two keys; one of benefits, the other of the spirit: The lock which shuts it is the fear of God. Psal. 141. 3. 〈◊〉 the door of my lips. Psal. 15. 15. Open thou my lips, O Lord, &c.

Dore of utterance]

;;An open and free mouth to preach the Gospel, Col. 4. 3.

Dore-keeper]

Dore-post]

Exod. 12. 7. On the upper door-post, &c. But on the threshold under their feet it was not commanded to be sprinkled. Hereby a reverend regard of the blood of Christ seemeth to be taught. See Heb. 10. 29. Ainsworth. And to profess unto all their love unto the Law, and to have it 〈◊〉 in remembrance, it was to be written on their Doreposts, Deut. 11. 20.

;; Double: 1. The number of two is properly meant hereby.;;

;;2. The repeating of the same thing, or speaking the same twice, which is done to show,;;

  • ;;1. The certainty:;;
  • ;;2. The celerity thereof, Gen. 41. 32.;;

I stand in doubt of you, Gal. 4. 20. or I am perplexed sor you, marg.

Doubtful]

Neither 〈◊〉 ye of 〈◊〉 mind, Luk. 12. 29. Live not in careful 〈◊〉 , marg. Be ye not of wavering and doubtful minds, about temporal necessaries, as they must needs be, who depending only on second 〈◊〉 , do not put their confidence in God's providence, which never faileth those who trust in him, Psal. 9. 10. 〈◊〉 . 13. 5. Annot.

The Original 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 , signifies primarily and literally, to be carried up high in the air, as clouds or 〈◊〉 flying there, which because they have no firm foundation there, but are tost and driven about uncertainly: hence it signifies first 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 , vagari, to think of this and that without any consistence of mind. Secondly, to hang as the clouds do in the air, in an impatient 〈◊〉 , or 〈◊〉 . Thus to be in 〈◊〉 and uncertainty of resolution, is to 〈◊〉 in suspense. Joh. 10. 24. Dr. Ham. on Luk. 11. 29. Annot. a.

Not to 〈◊〉 disputations, Rom. 14. 1. or not to judge his doubtful thoughts, or the discernings of reasonings, Annot.

Doubting]

;;The mistrust of heart 〈◊〉 the providence and promises of God, when the soul doth not rest quiet and surely in God, but sticketh and staggars, hanging as it were between two. Rom. 4. 20. A 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 not 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 . Mat. 14. 31. 〈◊〉 doubt ye, O ye of little 〈◊〉 ? Doubting in wicked men comes from want of faith, and mere infidelity: but in the godly it comes from weakness of faith.

;;2. Wavering and uncertainty of mind. 1 Tim. 2. 8. Lift up pure hands without doubting, Jam. 1. 6.

;;3. Perplexity and anxiety of mind, when one is so straitened, as he cannot see which way to turn him, or what to do. 2 Cor. 1. 8. We altogether doubted, even of life. 2 Cor. 4. 8. We are in 〈◊〉 .

7. To 〈◊〉 as it were, 2 Cor. 1. 8.

8. To 〈◊〉 or muse on a thing, Act. 10. 17.

Doubts]

Dan. 5. 12. Chaldee. knots, marg.

Dove]

;;A creature of a very 〈◊〉 and harmless nature; also fruitful, by means of often breeding, Matth. 10. 16.

;;2. The holy Ghost which is like a Dove for meekness and innocence, Mat. 3. 26. It is written, the holy Ghost came down from heaven like a Dove, Joh. 1. 32. To show it was no material Dove, but an appearance or show of one, (much less was the Spirit converted into a Dove) wherein he did please to manifest himself for that time and purpose, afterward vanishing. Also, the Dove is said to abide upon Christ in a twofold respect; first, of his humanity, 〈◊〉 the Spirit was perpetually present with it, to fill it with graces perfectly, both for number and measure. Secondly, in respect of his Deity or God-head, because the Spirit which is the third Person, is eternally joined with Christ the second Person, by or in a most marvelous unity of one and the self-same essence and nature.

;;3. Holy Church or company of believers, which is chaste and sincere, full of spiritual beauty, like a Dove, resting safe in a rock. Cant. 2. 5. My dove, &c. A Metaphor.

This is that 〈◊〉 , which being sent out of the Ark, returned with an Olive leaf in her mouth, as a sign of the ceasing deluge, and 〈◊〉 made between God and man, Gen. 8. 11. Hereunto the Church is compared, Can. 1. 15. And Christ commands his to be 〈◊〉 as Doves, Mat. 10. 16. And the Psalmist wisheth unto himself the wings of a dove, that he might the more swiftly flee from his troubles, Psal. 55. 7. It's gentle, fearful, simple, peaceable, having little or no gall. It's not noisome or harmful to other beasts or fowls. It was both lawful to eat it, and likewise to offer it in sacrifice. It feedeth not on 〈◊〉 , but picketh up the purest seed or grane, and loveth neatness, and the pure waters. It 〈◊〉 its young ones to keep their nest clean, and loveth the white color. Many seek its destruction, from which yet it saveth itself by its swift flying, but if it 〈◊〉 , then the 〈◊〉 easily seizeth on it. Its feathers are of 〈◊〉 colors, Psal. 68. 13. and therein it doth as it were take pride whose beauty in the sun-shine appears more then 〈◊〉 . It's of a 〈◊〉 and piercing sight, and can discern one kind of Hawk from another; and accordingly avoid them. The male and female love each other, and keep fidelity each toward other, and if any falling out be between them, they be quickly reconciled, manifesting the same, by their embracing each other. It 〈◊〉 men's dwelling houses, and to be in their company; and being carried from home, will return many miles to their own houses; of whom therefore some make use, by tying Letters about their necks, which their friends at home untie, and read, and are thereby acquainted with their mind. It quickly forgets injuries done unto it, as the spoiling of its nest, taking away its young, &c. It's very fruitful, having young ones almost every month. It's careful to feed both its 〈◊〉 young ones, and others too standing in need. It mourneth sometime, Isa. 38. 14. It feedeth not on blood. It usually hath two young ones, whom it nourisheth together in one nest, nor is the male less careful of them then the female, each by turn sitting on the egs, providing meat, &c. Being conscious of its own weakness, it flieth to the holes of the rocks, 〈◊〉 in danger, Jer. 48. 28. Amongst fowls it only grieveth not at the loss of its young ones, or when taken away. In drinking it lifteth not up its head till it have enough. The male when old cannot couple with the female, but kisseth it. There should 〈◊〉 strong love even in a weak body. It harms none either with its beak or claws, and by its dung recompenseth the harm it doth in eating up the corn.

As Noabs dove could find no rest til she returned to the Ark, so neither is sound rest to be found but in the Church. 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 a dove, cometh of the root 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 〈◊〉 oppressed; which seemeth to imply, that the dove hath many enemies that oppress it. The Church, God's dove, is daily in danger to be oppressed.

Eyes of a dove]

;;Gracious, chaste, and most single, like to the eyes of a Dove. Cant. 1. 15. Thine eyes are like the eyes of a dove.

His eyes are as of 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 the rivers of water, Cant. 5. 12. Nothing is more known then that 〈◊〉 take great delight in Springs, and Fountains, and pure Rivers, and so are a fit and most proper emblem of the purity and holiness of Christ, whose eyes cannot so much as behold any iniquity, Hab. 1 13. and are meek, humble, pitiful, and full of compassion: for he looketh not after prey and blood, as 〈◊〉 and Eagles, whose eyes are not red and bloody, as the eyes of 〈◊〉 , with wine; not filthy and noisesome, as the letchers, which are full of adultery; nor fiery and glaring, as the 〈◊〉 and furious, whose eyes flame revenge, like a Dogs, or 〈◊〉 ; nor yet distorted and looking asquint, as the envious and malicious; but as the meek and gentle eyes of Doves, which to make them more gentle are washed in milk. Annot.

Dove]

He saw the Spirit of God descending like a Dove, Mat. 3. 16. That the holy Ghost doth here and in other places, did visibly appear, there is no doubt, but that he came upon Christ 〈◊〉 the body and shape of a Dove, cannot be concluded from this place, nor from the parallel, Mat. 1. 10. but only that the Spirit descended, and came, or lighted on him, as a Dove uses to do on anything, first 〈◊〉 and 〈◊〉 it. The Spirit descended, so as he might be (and was really) seen as it were a Dove, i. e. as a Dove visibly descends and lights on anything; or, in a manner somewhat resembling a 〈◊〉 ; not defining any shape 〈◊〉 the holy Ghost 〈◊〉 . Dr. Ham. Annot. 〈◊〉 .

Dove]

O my Dove; Cant. 2. 14. As when Christ was baptized, the holy Ghost appeared in the shape of a Dove (as a symbol of his presence) to discover thus much, That Christ should have the property and disposition of a Dove, and be meek and gentle, Mat. 11. 29. & 12. 20. And to show what his Office, should be; for even as the Dove in Noah's Ark was sent out and came home again to the Ark with an Olive branch, to show that the waters were abated; so Christ was to preach deliverance from the deluge of God's anger, and to come with an Olive leaf of peace in his mouth and reconciliation, to show that God's wrath was appeased: So all that are Christ's, the Spouse of Christ, have the disposition of Christ; That Spirit that framed him to be like a Dove, frames the Church to be a Dove, whereunto she is compared, and which we should resemble,

  • 1. In meekness, Psal. 39. 1. Col. 3. 12. 1 Pet. 3. 4. Num. 12. 3. Zeph. 2. 1, 2.
  • 2. In simplicity, being without guile; simple concerning evil, not in ignorance and simplicity, as in Hos. 7. 11.
  • 3. In faithfulness: as it is faithful to the mate, so should we be to Christ, we must keep our judgments chaste, (must not be tainted with errors and sins) keep our 〈◊〉 chaste likewise, Rev. 14. 4. Psal. 73. 25.
  • 4. In neatness: it will not lodge where it shall be troubled with stench, and likewise feeds upon pure gain, not upon carryon, so the Christian soul will not feed upon worldly carrion, or sinful pleasures, but upon Christ and spiritual things.
  • 5. In loving communion and fellowship, Isa. 60. 8. God's children love the communion and fellowship one of another. Doves will consort with Doves, Christians with Christians, and none else.
  • 6. In suffering: the Dove is molested by all birds of prey, so the poor Church of God is molested and persecuted, O that I had wings like a Dove, saith David.
  • 7. As the Dove for its defense, hath nothing but flight, to mourn and to build on high: so the Church of God hath no other refuge but to be housed in God and Christ, he is our Ark, we must with 〈◊〉 , Jer. 38 mourn to God, who hears the bemoanings of his own Spirit in us: and build on him, as on a rock to be safe in him. Sibs.

Our eyes must not be proud, lustful, envious, wanton, &c. but like those of the Dove, meek, humble, pure, peaceable, fixed upon God, and by an holy intention waiting on him for life and devotion, Cant. 1. 19. Annot.

We must be bashful and modest, not daring to lift up our eyes after other lovers, Ezek. 18. 6. but only to the true God, Isa. 17. 7. Annot.

It's said of the Dove, that it only amongst birds bewaileth not, when its young ones are taken from it; God's Church should rather rejoice then grieve, when God is glorified by the death of any her members, for the blood of Martyrs hath proved the seed of the Church. Doves are fruitful, and is not the Church so? When there's any variance between them, how soon are they reconciled? and should not we? Its flesh is good against the Pestilence, and is not Christ fed upon against sin?

Like a 〈◊〉 Dove]

;;The Israelites to hold on their folly and sottishness, with great credulity and simpleness, calling for help to such as were their enemies, and would become their snare. Hos. 7. 11. Ephraim is like a silly Dove without a heart.

;; Note: A Dove is commended for fecundity, or plentiful increase: also for simplicity and innocence: wherein the Dove is a figure 〈◊〉 type of the Church, which besides her increase is also innocent, being exposed to injuries on all sides, yet suffering all without any revenge.

Luk. 13. 8. To lay dung. D. Transl.

This verse describeth the affection of those who faithfully plant in God's vineyard; they do not forthwith despair when they see not present fruits of their labors, but take the more pains with their plants, their auditors, by how much nearer they perceive God's judgments are on their barrenness; and pray the Lord to spare them. See 2 Tim. 24. 25. Exod. 32. 31. Annot.

Drag]

Hab. 1. 15. or Flue-net, marg.

Burn incense to their drag, Ib. 16. Instead of acknowledging all their greatness to come from God, and giving him thanks, and serving him, they attributed it unto themselves, and to their industry, understanding, and valor, arrogating that to themselves which was only due to him. Annot.

Dragging the net with fishes]

Joh. 21. 8. 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 , is properly to sweep the ground, as they do who fish with 〈◊〉 or 〈◊〉 , whose plummets sink the lower part of the Net to the ground, lest the enclosed fish should escape. 〈◊〉 .

Dragon]

;;A fierce and cruel Beast, full of strength, and very 〈◊〉 for his force and power. Psal. 148. 7. Ye Dragons and depths.

;;2. The Devil who is called a great and red Dragon in respect of his exceeding strength, and bloody cruelty against the Saints: which must serve, to make us watchful and fervent in prayer against his grievous assaults. Rev. 12. 3, 9. And the great Dragon, the old 〈◊〉 . A Metaphor.

;;3. The greatest evils and enemies which may 〈◊〉 and beset us in this life. Psal. 91. 13. The young Lyon and the Dragon thou shalt tread under thy feet; that is, Thou shalt overcome even thy strongest enemies. The King of Babel for cruelty likened to a Dragon, Jer. 51. 34. Also, Ezek. 29. 3, And Antichrist, Rev. 13. 4.

4. Tyrants, Psal. 74. 13.

5. The whale, Ezek. 32. 2. marg.

Its biting is venomous, and fishes bitten thereby, die. It's afraid of a naked man, setteth upon him, if clothed. It's recorded of one Dragon, that being dead, eight pair of Oxen could scarcely move him from his place; Of another, that he was 120 foot long; and of a third, that being killed, a whole child was found in his belly, whom he had devoured; as in others a whole Hart, or Bull. Being tamed, it's not harmful, but very familiar. It's of a pleasant aspect. Their bodies are medicinal against diseases and poison.

They are delighted with men's songs. They have three rouse of teeth, great eyes, and piercing, and hear well. There are some which 〈◊〉 hungry 〈◊〉 themselves toward the West, and gaping wide, with the source of their breath, draw birds that fly over their heads into their throats. Some have wings, and no feet, others both, and some neither.

There's enmity between them and the Eagles, both on the earth and in the air; also between them and the Elephants; when they would do most harm, they eat most poisonable herbs. They kill also with their tail. Some of them have an infectious breath, and seldom sleep. They have their venom in their tongue and gall. They are also very subtle, for thirsting after the Elephants blood, it getteth upon a tree, and from thence leapeth on his back, taketh hold of his trunk, &c. not leaving him till it kill him.

Dragon]

;;The Devil, for his terrible 〈◊〉 likened to a Dragon, being the Prince of that Army, that maintaineth war against Christ. Rev. 12. 8. Michael faught against the Dragon. Some other, by the Dragon, understand unrighteous and cruel Princes, assisted and strengthened by false Teachers, Corrupters of the truth, Heretics, &c. All which join in battle together against the truth, and the sincere maintainers of it: but in chap. 20. 2. the Dragon is there expounded to be the Devil and Satan, who yet must work by meet instruments. All which having one common work, and being but one corporation with the Devil their Captain, are therefore well comprehended under one name; as the whole company of the faithful bear the name of Christ their head, 1 Cor. 12. 12.

The Devil is called Metaphorically a 〈◊〉 or Dragon:

  • 1. In allusion to that story, Gen. 3. Because under this form and representation he deceived mankind.
  • 2. For his poison and malice whereof he is full.
  • 3. For his exceeding strength and power, to hurt and destroy.
  • 4. For his slightness, subtlety and craft, verse. 9. and Gen. 3. 1.

This his nature is couched in his name, 〈◊〉 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 , acute 〈◊〉 , to see 〈◊〉 , for he is subtle, acute, and quick sighted to discem a far off his prey, and advantage against us.

The Greek word 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 , used verse 3. translated red 〈◊〉 emphatical, noting him to be a fiery Dragon, fiery red, set on fire, and all inflamed with an hellish flame of wrath and cruelty against the Church of God.

By the Dragon are also meant the instruments of Satan's fury, Jer. 51. 34. Ezek. 29. 3. Psal. 74. 13. Also some more special instruments, the Heathen persecuting 〈◊〉 of Rome. Leighs Annot.

Said to be red, for 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 . Great, for 〈◊〉 they reigned in that great City, which 〈◊〉 over the Kings of the 〈◊〉 , chap. 17. 18. all 〈◊〉 out by 〈◊〉 Dragon, for that they all worshipped in their Idolatry, the Devil, One in their cruel nature against Christians; One in place 〈◊〉 another; One in Government, and therefore are all but One head, in Chap. 17. verse. 18. 〈◊〉 .

To come and cleave unto Christ is a divine work, the work of God himself, and steps beyond the reach of man, which no human foot can tread, no wit can climb unto or comprehend, unless it be framed and fashioned from above. A work which of all others we are most untoward unto, of such difficulty, that we must be drawn and hailed, and violently pulled out of ourselves, before we can once settle about it, having neither power, nor so much as will unto it. The 〈◊〉 cause is not in ourselves, it cometh from Christ alone, who speaking to our heart by the Ministry of the Word, and the 〈◊〉 allurements of his Spirit, pulleth us out of this present evil world, and draweth us after him.

He is stronger then the powers of darkness, and able not only to open the heart, and offer salvation to it, but also to convert it, and translate it to his Kingdom, that so it may pass from death unto life. Annot.

We must not only get a knowledge of 〈◊〉 own inability, but seek unto Christ for supply of such defect. The high way unto God is spiritual misery, and beggary. Clapham.

Drink of the Wine of the wrath of her fornication, Rev. 14. 8. or, of the poisoned wine of her sornication, chap. 17. 2. for the Hebrew word to which the Greek here answereth, signifieth poison as well as wrath. As Whores give spiced or enchanted cups to their Lovers, to make them commit Fornication with them; so did Rome by subtle enticements draw a great part of the world to her Idolatry, which often in Scripture is compared to Fornication, as in Jer. 3. and Ezek. 16. Or, She made God angry with them, as well as with herself, by drawing them to the same Idolatry. Or, because when God is angry, and goeth to punish wicked men, he is said to have a cup in his hand, of poisoned wine, to give every man his part, according to his merit, that men might know these judgments came from him, and not by chance, Job 21. 20.

As this passing myrrbe dropping from Christ's lips, Cant. 5. 13. signifieth the sweet odour of his doctrine; so the like here dropping from the hands and fingers of his Spouse, seemeth to denote the sweet odour of her works. Her hands, that is, her actions are anointed with Oil of myrrbe, that is, the grace of God's Spirit; or we may understand it of the grace of Christ, which he left behind him, as a sweet odour to allure her, when he put in his hands at the hole of the doie, which she perceiveth now, when she was risen from her bed of carnal security.

I saw the woman drunk with the blood of the Saints. The meaning is, that so great was her cruelty, as intemperate persons do not more greedily draw in the most delicate wine, then she shed the blood of God's people.

She was not only outwardly sprinkled with it, but inwardly surfeited. Such abundance of Martys did she kill, and commanded everywhere to be killed. Chap. 16. 6. & 18. 24.
