Glad]

Psal. 21. 6. Thou hast made him exceeding glad. Heb. gladded him with 〈◊〉 , marg. In Psal. 2. 11. 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 in our translation, Rejoice with 〈◊〉 , are 〈◊〉 thus by Mr. Ainsworth, Be glad with 〈◊〉 . The word signifieth (saith he) open and 〈◊〉 est joy, exultation, or outwardglee. So that herein: the difference seemeth to be between gladness and joy; that that' s outward, this inward.

Glad]

No cause to rejoice in any but Christ, who 〈◊〉 both the object and rule of all spiritual and natural joy; of all both inward and outward gladness. This joy breeds from love, as from its root, and where the one is shed abroad, the other trickles after it. God entertains their souls that love him with rare unseen 〈◊〉 in his chambers, which very honor should work gladness, being the delight 〈◊〉 Angels, but the effect of it, is righteousness and joy, and peace, Rom. 14. 17. Annot.

Glass]

Now we see through a glass 〈◊〉 , 1 Cor. 13. 12. that is, All the knowledge that we have of God is dim and dark; as a man that looks in glass sees there but the image, and resemblance, and representation of the thing seen and not the thing itself.

Beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, 2 Cor. 3. 18. that is, As a 〈◊〉 which is set against the sun receives the beams thereof, so 〈◊〉 we take in glory from God, in one degree after another.

Glean]

Giede]

An unclean fowl, Deut. 14. 13. It hath a soft both voice and flying; a great body, but small courage. It cannot endure cold, so that its coming is a sure sign that the winter is past. It flieth so swiftly that it 〈◊〉 flesh thrown up in the air, 〈◊〉 it fall to the ground. When it watcheth for a prey, it seemeth not to move itself at all in the air. It's always hungry, and though fearful to set on wild 〈◊〉 , yet it is bold in preying on them that are tame: and oftentimes, for a long while together, flieth about before it can catch them. If its young ones wax fat, it beateth them with its bill, whereby they become lean. They feed on carrion or such 〈◊〉 as they kill. Ointment would kill them. Whilest young, it feedeth on 〈◊〉 and worms, but when old is ravenous.

〈◊〉 ]

;;is a singular and high opinion which one conceiveth of the excellency and worthiness of another. The Hebrew word put for glory, signifies a 〈◊〉 or gravity, which the Apostle seemeth to respect, 2 Cor. 4. 17.

• ;;6. Riches, authority, sumptuous buildings and garments, &c. which because they are glorified and praised of men, and make their 〈◊〉 glorious before men, are therefore called [Glory] in the phrase of Scripture.

  ;; Note: Because glory ariseth upon riches; hence it is that riches and glory are joined together, in 〈◊〉 . 3. 16. & 8. 1. Eccl 6. 2. Glory hath the name of Weightyness (as Paul mentioneth weight of 〈◊〉 , 2 Cor. 4. 17.) and Abraham is said to be weighty when he was rich, Gen. 13. 2. & in Isa. 16. 6.

And in v. 43. it signifies the charity, beauty and brightness of glorified bodies, which shall shine so gloriously after their resurrection, as Moses face did, by the glory which God put upon it, at his coming down from the Mount to the people; or as the garments of Christ did shine at his transfiguration in the Mount 〈◊〉 , Mat. 17. 2.

Glory]

Psal. 89. 44. Heb. brightness, marg.

〈◊〉 ]

;;The high excellency and dignity of Christ, being exalted at the right hand of his Father above all 〈◊〉 , Angels and men, Heb. 2. 9.

The Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father, Mat. 16. 27. The Hebr, 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 , the appearance of God, or special presence, which is called his 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 , glory, consists generally in the appearance of his guard, the Angels that wait on him; as when Jacob sees the vision of Angels, he concludes, surely the Lord is in this place. And accordingly here, Christ's coming in the glory of his Father, is expressed by, with his Angels. Dr. Ham. Annot. n.

Father of glory, and God of glory]

;;The true God, who alone is truly glorious, and the Author of all glory to his creatures. Eph. 1. 17. The Father of glory. Act. 7. 2. That God of glory appeared to our Fathers; that is, God full of glory and majesty.

Glory of the Forest and fields]

;;signifieth the mighty, noble, and valiant Soldiers in the Army of Assyria, Isa. 10. 18.

Glory of God]

;;The God-head or divine essence. Exod. 33. 18. Shew me thy glory.

;;2. The doctrine and miracles of Christ, which were signs and tokens of his divine power and majesty. Joh. 1. 14. We saw his glory. Joh. 2. 11. A Metonymy of the efficient cause.

;;3. The manifestation of God's omnipotency and goodness. Joh. 11. 40. If thou didst believe thou shalt see the glory of God; that is, God's might and mercy manifested in the raising of thy dead brother.

;;4. The glorious and most admirable presence of God, witnessed by some visible token. 2 King. 8. 11. The glory of the Lord, filled the house of the Lord. This glory was a visible cloud, full of light and brightness, as a token of God's wonderful presence, 1 Sam. 4. 22. Luk. 2. 9. And in this sense it is written, that Christ shall come unto 〈◊〉 with glory. Also, the Ark of the Covenant being a Testimony of God's glorious presence, and to show how much he esteemed the people of the Jews, is therefore called glory, Rom. 9. 4, 15. & 4. 21, 22.

;;5. Religion or worship of God. Rom. 1. 23. They turned the glory of the incorruptible God, into the similitude of corruptible man.

;;6 The celebrating or setting forth of his praise. Joh. 11. 4. This sickness is not to death, but for the glory of God. Rom. 3. 7.

;;7. The perfect righteousness of the man Christ the free imputing whereof unto believers turneth greatly to God's glory. Isa. 40. 5. The glory of the Lord shall be revealed. In this sense are expounded those words of the Apostle, Romans. 3. v. 23. All have sinned, and are deprived of the glory of God.

;;8. Felicity in heaven, or life eternal, which consists in the participation of God's glory, Luk. 24. 26. Rom. 5. 2. And 〈◊〉 under the hope of the glory of God.

Forasmuch as he is the image and glory of God, 1 Cor. 11. 7. The Hebr. 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 , signifies both glory and beam (the beams of the Sun being so glorious, that all glory is described by them, and is rendered both by 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 , and one of them, may be here taken for another, glory for beam or irradiation; such a beam, which flowing from another, derived from another, implies that from whence it flows to be more honorable. 〈◊〉 else the word may signify similtude, likeness, in both places of this verse, for so it is used by the Septuagint, Numb. 12. 8. & Psal. 17. 15. And so here it will agree with 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 , the man is the image and similitude of God, and the woman of the man. Id. Annot. b.

And come short of the glory of God. Rom. 3. 23. The word 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 , glory, or praise, being here joined with 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 , of God, signifies not that glory which accrues to God, the glorifying, or praising of his 〈◊〉 , but that which acrues to man from God, and that may be either in this world, or in the next; the 〈◊〉 and acceptance of any work here, Joh. 12. 44. & 5. 44. or the reward of it hereafter; and so it seems to 〈◊〉 here, that reward which belongs to 〈◊〉 obedience, in which boasting is founded, v. 27. and to which grace, as it signifies pardon of sins, is opposed, verse. 24. and therefore of this all men are said to come short, who are found to be sinners, in the beginning of the verse. Dr. Ham. Annot. g.

To give glory to God]

;;To acknowledge God the searcher of all hearts, and just avenger of 〈◊〉 wickedness, by 〈◊〉 plainly what thou hast done. Josh. 7. 19. My Son give glory to the Lord of Israel.

;;2. To believe and praise the truth of God, that he is such an one, as keeps 〈◊〉 , and is able to perform that which he hath promised. Rom. 4. 20. And gave glory to God.

;;3. To confess God the Author of every good work. Joh. 9. 24. Give glory to God, this man is a sinner. The glory of God is two 〈◊〉 to be considered: either as it is 〈◊〉 in himself, which none can conceive as it is, (therefore Moses must see 〈◊〉 the back parts of God) Exod. 34, 22, 23. nor change it, to cause it not to be wha it is, for it is un changeable, as himself is. Mal. 3. 6. I 〈◊〉 not, saith Jehovah. Or else with reference unto us, to wit, that worship and honor which reasonable creatures yield to their Creator. This may be conceived, for it is revealed in the word, also, it may be changed (without diminution to God) though not without contumely and reproach to him; and that two days, either by giving divine honor to such things as by nature are no God's as the Romans and Egyptians did to men and beasts. Secondly, by representing and worshiping God by Images and similitudes of creatures.

Glory of God]

;;His glorious presence, testified by some visible sign, like unto that, Exod. 40. 34. 35. Rev. 15. 8. And the Temple was full of the smoke of the glory of God. The presence of God in and with his Church now under the Gospel, though it be with more brightness of knowledge, and more plentiful graces then it was under the Law, yet is it obscure in respect of that revelation which the Saints shall enjoy in heaven. Withall, this smoke of God's glory in the Temple, may import, that howsoever God's glorious presence with his Church, now be manifest enough, yet the wicked cannot see it, as if their eye-sight were darkened with smoke, which lastly, may show forth his anger (usually signified in Scripture by smoke) against such enemies.

;;2. The brightness of God (for divine brightness) immediately communicated unto the Saints in heaven, who shall have so exceeding great light from the most perfect presence of God, and Christ the Lamb, as they shall need neither Sun, Moon or Star. Rev. 21. 23. For the glory of God did light it. Also verse. 11. Having the glory of God; that is, most admirable, divine, and celestial glory. Some do understand this of a most glorious divine brightness of God's presence, as withal they restrain it to the ages of the Church, which shall be next afore the end of the world. Both may be understood; the one, as a sorerunner and preparation to the other.

To the glory of God.]

;;Either the end for which dutites are to be done, that God may be glorified, or else the fruit of Christ his love toward the elect, which walk in the steps of his charity: which is, to be made immortal as God is, and partakers of his heavenly glory. Rom. 15. 7. To the glory of God.

Glory of his grace]

;;Glorious & renowned grace. Eph. 1. 5. The praise of the glory of his grace.

Glory, honor, &c. )

;;Praise increased, when the holiness, majesty, and truth of God is acknowledged and much extolled. Revel. 4. 11. To reccive glory, honor, and power.

Glory and honor of Kings and Gentiles]

;;All that majesty, with those great and excellent things, which Kings and people had, shall be laid down, at what time the glory of the heavenly City is given them. Revel. 21. 24, 26. Shall bring their glory and honor to it.

Glory and joy]

;;Matter or cause of glorying and rejoicing. 1 Thes. 2. 20. Ye are our glory and joy.

Lord of glory]

;;Act. 7. 2. Lord of glory, 1 Cor. 2. 8. Eyes of glory, Isa. 3. 8. It is an Hebraism, glory for glorious, the abstract for the concrete; and signifies, full of majesty and glory, therefore great heed is to be taken not to offend and provoke him.

The glory of the man]

;;signifieth that the woman was created of God, that by her subjection to the man she might make him more renowned and glorious, 1 Cor. 11. 7.

Glory and pomp]

;;Noble and rich men with their nobility and abundance. Isa. 5. 14. Their glory and pomp shall descend.

Received into glory]

To glory]

;;1. To boast either proudly and vainly, Jer. 9. 23. which is unlawful; or like a vain and proud man, but driven thereto by necessity. 2 Cro. 12. 11. I am become a fool in glorying, ye have compelled me; which is lawful.

;;2. To rest and rejoice in Christ only as the only mean and meritorious cause of all peace and happiness from God, Jer. 9. 24. 1 Cor. 1. 31. 2 Cor. 10. 17.

Like a wild beast ready to devour a poor lamb, and preparing the instruments of his destruction, sharpening his teeth, &c. and by gnashing his teeth threatening 〈◊〉 , Psal. 37. 12. Annot.

Gnashing of teeth, Mat. 8. 12. 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 , though it might be thought to signify chattering of teeth, proper to a state of cold, and agreeable to the second notion of Hell, by some mentioned from Job 24. 19. Gehenna nivis, the hell of snow; as the other is Gehenna ignis, the hell of fire. Yet the notion of 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 , Act. 7. 54. for anger or rage, which is proper to that of gnashing the teeth, and the mention of fire joined with it, Mat. 13. 4, 50. which cannot agree with chattering, do sufficiently 〈◊〉 the ordinary rendering, gnashing and grinding of teeth, as in pain or rage is usual. Dr. Hamm. Annot. 〈◊〉 .

Gnat]

Mat. 23. 24. Which strain at a gnat and swallow a camel; that is, are observant and superstitious in the smallest things, negligent and careless in those of greatest moment. As the 〈◊〉 in sweetness, so it delighteth in sowrnesse.

In some Countries Gnats have been so troublesome, that the inhabitants have been enforced to remove their 〈◊〉 , but everywhere they are more then enough. They love the Candle light, but are thereby burnt.

Gnaw]

To gnaw their tongues]

;;To take most grievously the fall of their pomp, dignity, and authority; also furiously, for extreme sorrow, to bite their own tongues. Rev. 16. 10. And they gnawed their tongues for sorrow. Some do expound this, of renouncing their own proud words and writings. But the former signification is better.

To be in great agony, like those that bite their tongues for grief and anger, ready at the next increase of pain to devour or destroy themselves. Or, it may be meant, They shall eat their words and be ashamed of their railings upon God's Saints, though they leave not their idolatry, verse. 11. Annot.

But the words joined 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 , as, aside, astray, away, back, down, forth, 〈◊〉 , 〈◊〉 , or 〈◊〉 , in peace, near, 〈◊〉 , out, to, up, &c. point out the meaning of many places where this word is 〈◊〉 .

Go]

Deut. 31. 21. Go 〈◊〉 , Heb. do, marg. Job 24. 24. Are gone, Heb. are not, marg. 1 King. 20. 40. He was gone, Heb. he was not. marg. 1 Chr. 17. 5. Have gone, Heb. have been, marg. 〈◊〉 . 1. 4. Gone away backward, Heb. aliena ed, or separated, marg. Mat. 10. 23. Gone over, or end, or finish, marg. 2 Sam. 24. 2. Go through, or compass, marg. There are several other words join d herewith, as aside, Numb. 5. 12. astray, Deut. 22. 1. Away, Deut. 15. 13.

To go, or come out of Babylon]

;;To depart as far as may be from all society and fellowship, with the 〈◊〉 Synagogue, in their heresies and idolatries, Rev. 18. 4. 〈◊〉 (or come) out of her my people, &c. This 〈◊〉 and charge here in the Apocalypse, is like to that in Jeremy, ch. 51. 45. My people, go out of the midst of her. This of 〈◊〉 was spoken, touching departing from Babylon in the East, when it was to be 〈◊〉 , and that in the Revelation, concerneth the ruin of Babylon in the West, to forewarn the godly to avoid it, by departing away.

To go into destruction]

;;To perish finally, and utterly to be destroyed. Rev. 17. 11. And shall go into destruction.

They godown to 〈◊〉 ]

;;signifieth, To depart out of this life, into the common place and state of death, whereunto all must go, Gen. 37. 35. As heaven is not only the place of good Angels, and holy men, but generally it is put for all above us, as the air, 〈◊〉 &c. where the 〈◊〉 fly, and the 〈◊〉 and stars run their courses: so Hell, Sheol in Hebrew, in Greek Hades, the one of craving so called, the other of Adam by change of letters, doth signify not only the place of torment, or a grave digged and made with hands, but the common place or state of death. See more in Hell.

Go forth]

go thy way forth, Cant. 1. 8. or. get thee out, go forth thou, Heb. Go out for thee, or go 〈◊〉 for thyself. Christ called forth his Church from sitting still in her mournful estate, that she should not only wish and desire, but endeavor and put forth herself to do the works of her calling, to feed her Kids, and to go out to meet the Bridegroom. See Mat. 25. 6. Ainsworth.

To sit still is not the way to find Christ; to cry Lord, Lord, is not all, we must go out, put forth ourselves, endeavor and 〈◊〉 something, depart from Babylon, and put ourselves into the bosom of the true Church. Annot.

〈◊〉 go in to one]

;;3. To live safely. Joh. 10. 9. He shall be saved, and shall go in and out. It often signifieth, to converse, or trade, Jer. 17. 19, 20, 25. & 25. 4.

Go]

And would not let him go, Cant 3. 4. There's a grateful violence, which takes the Kingdom of Heaven; we must make use of it, to that end compelling Christ to stay with us. To this end he keeps some distance and hides himself to provoke our contentions and endeavors to keep him. We should never leave him, no not when he hath blessed us, as prizing him more then anything that he can bestow; for if he be so good to those that seek him, how much more precious is he when found and enjoyed? Annot.

This is done when the doctrines and promises of the Gospel are by 〈◊〉 retained, as it is said, Take fast hold of instruction, let her no: go, Prov. 4. 13. Ainsworth.

To go onward]

Exod. 40. 36. that is, to journey, marg.

To go out no more]

;;To remain forever in the Church 〈◊〉 , being most firmly joined unto Christ, and immediately. Rev. 3. 12. And he 〈◊〉 go no more out. He alludeth unto 1 King. 7. 15. Some understand it of the stableness of God's 〈◊〉 in the Church Militant; namely, of such faithful ones as were members of the Church at Philadelphia. But it may well bear both significations, for Christ his true members shall continue steadfast in the Church Militant, till they be translated into the Church Triumphant.

To go to his own 〈◊〉 ]

Act. 1. 25. is, To go to hell; or, to perish forever.

〈◊〉 go up]

Isa. 10. 4. that is, Was lifted up, marg.

To go up]

;;To vanish away, Exod. 16. 14. Jer. 48. 15.

〈◊〉 and Nails]

;;signifieth the Word of God, which is like goads and nails, both for touching men with a feeling of their sins, quickening them unto godlin 〈◊〉 : and also for staying and strengthening men in the faith, 〈◊〉 . 12. 11, 12.

Goat]

;;A creature so called, being naturally very 〈◊〉 unto sheep.

;;2. All unbelievers, and wicked persons, which are like to Goats, because they are not only 〈◊〉 of the fold of the holy Catholic Church, but are hurtful and troublesome to the flock of Christ, Ezek. 34. 18. Mat. 25. 32, 33. And the goats on his left.

;;The Ceremony of the Live and Scape Goat Lev. 16. 2, 21. it signified the invisible sufferings of Christ's soul to be so great as his Godhead which dwells in light inaccessible, must give to his humanity sufficient strength to endure them, being of all others not to be endured. See Joh. 7. 34, 35. & Joh. 13. 33.

There is no beast more venereous then this yeildeing seed at seven days 〈◊〉 it is kidned; some say, seven weeks; and coupleth with its Mother, Sister, &c. which many other beasts do not. Some 〈◊〉 , that Goats take breath through their ears; nor is there any beast that heareth so perfectly and sure as the Goat. Their skins are used by some for garments, Heb. 11 37. They were charitably holpen by those beasts 〈◊〉 were cruelly put to death by wretched men. Its blood scour 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 better then a file; it also 〈◊〉 an adamant stone, which no fire is able to melt, nor iron to break. The Loadstone being rubbed with garlic loseth its virtue in drawing iron to it, but being dipped in Goats blood, it recovereth it. It loveth mountains and high places, whither when pursued, it flieth, and there hanging on rocks, deceiveth the dogs. It loveth not to come behind either Cattle or sheep, but goeth always before. Its biting the trees is sound very prejudicial to their growth. Honey is deadly to it. When it eareth of the Sea holme it standeth amazed; nor moveth itself till freed by the Goat-herd. They are subject to the flling-sickness, as are they who feed on their flesh. In the time of their coupling their smell is stinking and unsavory. 〈◊〉 have been made of their 〈◊〉 , which have been used against themselves. They are neither profitable for War, nor for the Plough. When the Owners are milking it, it often throweth down the pale and spilleth the milk. They are subject to wandering, nor continue they long in one place. They in some places bring forth young ones twice a year. They have given suck to the Wolves young whelps, by whom (when grown up) they have been devoured. When one of them is taken, the rest stand still, gazing thereat.

By the He goat, Dan. 8. 5. Alexander the great the King of Grecia is understood, Ib. 21.

Goats]

As their skins were used for garments, Heb. 11. 37. so was their hair for the use of the Tabarnacle, Exod. 36. 14. and for pillows, 1 Sam. 19. 13. There are also wild goats, Job 39. 1. who have their name in the Original from 〈◊〉 , because they use to be in high rocks for safety, 1 Sam. 24. 2. Psal. 104. 18. Others derive it from a word that signifies profit but by the contrary, because there is much danger in hunting them. Annot.

Goats]

See Flock. Elsewhere the wicked are resembled to Goats, Matt. 25. 33. but 〈◊〉 . 4. 1. & 〈◊〉 6. 5. even the godly are resembled thereunto. The difference ariseth from their different qualities, good and bad, 〈◊〉 and discommendable.

〈◊〉 ]

His touching; or, his roaring. A place, Jer. 31. 39.

Gob]

〈◊〉 , A City, 2 〈◊〉 . 21. 18, 19.

God]

;;A most powerful spiritual substance, the mighty Maker and Governor of the world. Gen. 1. 13. Then God said. Joh. 4. 24, God is a Spirit. And wheresoever God is absolutely used.

;;2. Kings, Princes, and all other lawful Magistrates, because they represent the Image of his power, and execute his judgments, Psal. 82. 1, 6. I have said, Ye are God's, 2 Chro. 19. 6. Here it is 〈◊〉 in the plural number.

;;3. One which 〈◊〉 and 〈◊〉 the mind of God to another. Thus is Moses called Aaron's God, and 〈◊〉 God. Exo. 4. 16. And 〈◊〉 shalt 〈◊〉 to him as God. & 7. 1. I have made thee 〈◊〉 God. Here it is used with an addition; as 〈◊〉 God, Aaron's God.

;;4. God is put essentially for all the three Persons, even for the whole Deity, Joh. 4. 24. or personally, for someone Person of the Trinity. Eph. 1. 3. Blessed 〈◊〉 God the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. Rom. 9. 5. 〈◊〉 is God 〈◊〉 forever. Joh. 11. Where God is put for the Father and the Spirit.

;;5. This name is given (but yet improperly) to Angels, 1 Sam. 28. 13.;;

;;6. Improperly and falsely to men, either bad or good, which are not God's, 〈◊〉 only in the opinion of 〈◊〉 men, Act. 14. 11, 12. 1 Cor. 8. 5.;;

;;7. More falsely to the Images or Idols of men, 1 Cor 8. 4. Act. 17. 29.;;

;;8. Most falsely and 〈◊〉 , this name is usurped by 〈◊〉 , and so it is Ironically attributed to him by St. Paul, 2 Cor. 4. 4. In whom the God of this world hath blinded the minds of them which 〈◊〉 not, lest the 〈◊〉 of the glorious Gospel of Christ, which is the Image of God, should shine unto them. To show the wicked what kind of God they serve. See World. ;;

;;9. Any thing that a man adereth and esteemeth instead of God, or more then God, is that man's 〈◊〉 , in the phrase of Scripture, (Phil. 3. 19. 〈◊〉 end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their 〈◊〉 , who mind earthly things ) and of St Augustine. See 〈◊〉 ; Loc. come. loco 1. q, 13.;;

Or thus, The word God is sometime used singularly, 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 , Job 3. 4. & 4. 9, 17. And in a shorter form, 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 , Gen. 14. 18. So termed from his strength or might) and 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 hath affinity with 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 he adjured; for, 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 and execration men 〈◊〉 into Covenant with God, Deut. 29. 12, 14, 19. Neh. 10. 29. Eccl. 8, 2. but is most used in the form plural, 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 , which signifieth, the Almighty's; or Almighty power, as having reference unto all the three persons of the Deity. See Ainsworth on Gen. 1. 1.

It is taken either properly or improperly.

Properly, and that either essentially or personally.

〈◊〉 , and so it is taken indefinitely for the whole Trinity, as Matt. 4. 7, 10. Joh. 4. 24.

Personally,

• 1. For the Father, Eph. 1. 3.
• 2. The Son, Rom. 9. 5. Joh. 1. 1. Tit. 1. 3. & 2. 10.
• 3. The Holy Ghost, Act. 5. 3, 4.

Improperly,

;;2. A place in the Tabernacle near unto the Ark, where God appeared, Deut. 12. 17. & 27. 7.

Living God]

;;That God, who in himself liveth, and is the Author and Fountain of all that do live, Heb. 3. 12.

God is one]

;;God to be constant, and always like himself, as Mal. 3. 6. Therefore he is ever offended with transgressors, now no less then of old, so as none can be justified by the Law, Gal. 3. 31. But God is one.

Many God's]

;;Many Idols which were reputed God's. 1 〈◊〉 . 8. 5. There be many God's, and many Lord's. Thus Paul speaketh according to the opinion of the Heathens, who fancy unto themselves a multitude of gods; whereas in truth, there is but one God, and one Lord.

My God]

This is eternal lise to know thee the only true God, &c.

;;Whereas Arians take advantage from this place for their error, to prove Christ not to be true God, because the Father is the only God: Let it be marked,

• ;;1. That the Text saith not, that the Father only is God.
• ;;2. That it will as well follow that the Father is not Lord, because it is written, 1 Cor. 4. 8. There is one Lord, even Christ; as that Christ should not be God, because the Father is called one God, and God only.
• ;;3. This particle [only] 〈◊〉 not the other 〈◊〉 persons, but all God's, in opinion, as Heathenish Idols; or by office, as Magistrates.
• ;;4. As [only] comprehendeth both Paul and 〈◊〉 , 1 Cor. 9. 6. So h re [only] includes Christ, who is the same God with the Father.
• ;;Lastly, Chrysostom's reading of this Text may well be received; to wit, that this is eternal life to 〈◊〉 thee, and Christ whom thou hast sent, to be the only true God.

;;Finally, whereas the first verse 〈◊〉 that Christ had glory with his Father 〈◊〉 the world, it proves him both to be a person distinct from the Father, and to be 〈◊〉 eternal Son, even God from everlasting.

;; Note: that ( 〈◊〉 ) the name of God in Hebrew in 〈◊〉 plural, is usually joined with a verb singular, as Elohimbara, God created; but in some other few places 〈◊〉 is coupled with a word plural, not without mystery of the Trinity, to teach unity of essence in plurality of persons, Gen. 20. 13. Also, Gen. 35. 7 & 2 Sam. 7. 23. In which, though the plural number be 〈◊〉 , yet a 〈◊〉 of God's is no way intended: one Scripture must clear another.

To see God]

;;To enjoy the eternal blessedness in heaven, which consists in the vision of God, Heb. 12. 14.

To be their God]

;;To be joined unto God, by perfect and immediate fellowship, which shall be the 〈◊〉 of the faithful in heaven. Rev. 21. 3. And God himself shall be their God with them.

God not to be in ones thought]

;;signifieth, To think and believe that God careth not for him, in matters, either to reward the good, or to punish the bad, Psal. 10. 4, 5, 9, 11, 13.

Thy God]

;;Either thine by profession of him, Isa. 7. 11. Or in truth also, Exod. 20. 2.

;;This form of speech importeth the Covenant made by God with Abraham, Gen. 17. I will be thy God, and the God of thy seed after thee. In the enjoying this Covenant, standeth true happiness and eternal felicity, as Psal. 33. 12.

;; A God, in Gen. 28. 21. is to be the author of ones welfare and salvation.

A Goddess]

As Idolarers had their Men-gods, so had they their Women-goddesses, as the Zidonians, 1 King. 11. 5, and the Ephesians, Act. 19. 27.

God-head]

;;The essence and nature of God. Col. 2. 9. In Christ dwelleth the fullness of the God-head bod lie; that is, the true nature of God is in him truly and forever.

;;The first name whereby God is called in holy Scripture is Elohim, and it is in the plural number, to signify the mystery of the Trinity in unity of the Godhead; and therefore it is joined commonly with other words, sometime of the singular number, and of the plural, sometime indifferently, as Eloim; that is, God he went, 1 Chron. 17. 21-and Elohim, they went, 2 Sam. 5. 23. It may be derived from El, which signifies mighty, and so by increase of the word, the signification is increased, most mighty, or almighty; or, from Alah, to adjure, because of the covenant, oath, and execration, wherewith men are bound to God, according to that in Deut. 29. 12, 14, 29. 〈◊〉 . 10. 19. Eccl. 8. 2. This honorable name God hath given unto Angels, Psal. 8. 5. and unto Magistrates, Psal. 82. 1. 5. because he hath communicated his word and power to them in a special manner. Joh. 10. 34, 35. 2 Chr. 19. 6. The Heb. use to note excellent things, by 〈◊〉 the name of God, as Mountains of God; that is, 〈◊〉 and mighty Mounts. 〈◊〉 of God, Psal. 80. 10. Mount of God, Psal. 68. 15. River of God, Psal. 65. 9. Wrestlings of God, Gen. 30. 4. Harps of God, Rev. 15. 2. And sundry the like.

Godly]

;;One that hath obtained mercy, goodness, piety, grace, and benignity from the Lord; and is again (after God's example) 〈◊〉 , kind, gracious and merciful to others, Psal. 4. 4. Act. 13. 35. The Hebrew 〈◊〉 is Chasid. See Neh. 13. 14. Psal. 12. 1. The Greeks translate it Hosios. Holy.

It's applied to Man, Psal. 12. 1. 〈◊〉 , Mal. 2. 15. Sincerity, 2 Cor. 1. 12. Manner or sort, 2 Cor. 7. 9, 11. 3 Joh. 6. Sorrow, 2 Cor. 7. 10. Jealousy, 2 Cor. 11. 2. Fear, Heb. 12. 28.

Godly]

Heb. 12. 28. Serve God with Godly fear, an holy awe and filial fear of his Divine Majesty. It is not enough that we do such works as belong to God's service, but we must take heed to the manner of doing them, that they be done with reverend regard to God in such a godly sear, as may make us circumspectly handle, and meddle with his service, as the word importeth. Dikson.

Godly]

Mal. 2. 15. A godly seed, Heb. a seed of God. marg.

Godly sorrow]

;;A grief for sin, because it is sin, and contrary to God's will and glory. This is called godly, because it 〈◊〉 from God, is agreeable to his will, and profiteth us unto repentance towards God. 2 Cor. 7. 10. Godly sorrow causeth 〈◊〉 .

After a godly 〈◊〉 ]

;;As is meet and vorthy them who profess the name of God, and do believe God's Word, affirm ing that he who receiveth his (Disciples) receiveth him, 3 Joh. 6.

Godliness]

;;is an honest love of God, out of a pure heart, a good conscience, and faith unfeigned, stirring us up to glorify God, and to do good to his people. Thus Mr. Deering defines it.

;;It's taken for,

• ;;1. The service and worship of God, the true God, both inward and outward, as it is commanded in the ;;Word. Act. 3. 12. As if by our godliness we had done this. 2 Tim. 3. 5.
• ;;2. The inward spiritual worship of God, when he alone is trusted, and feared, and loved above all. 2 Pet. 3. 11. What manner of persons ought you to be for godlieness? 1 Tim. 4. 1. Godliness is profita le to all things. Tit. 2. 12.
• ;;3. The whole duty of man, both towards God and his neighbor. 1 Tim. 6. 6. Godliness is great gain. Tit. 1. 12.
• ;;4. A Christian faith, or Religion of Christ. 1 Tim. 3. 16. Great is the mystery of godliness.
• ;;5. Godly deeds. 1 Tim. 2. 2. In all godliness and honesty; that is, honest and godly 〈◊〉 .
• ;;6. Duties to Parents and kindred. 1 Tim. 5. 4. Let them learn to show godliness to their 〈◊〉 house.

Godliness]

Great is the mystery of 〈◊〉 , 1 Tim. 3. 16. The notion of piety in this place is observable for Christian Religion, the doctrine of Christ, whether as that which is itself the 〈◊〉 way of serving and 〈◊〉 of God, so as will be acceptable to him (and so 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 , piety ) or that which prescribes and delivers the most exact and perfect way of serving God, and so by a Metonymy is called piety. That it signifies so here, as appears by the parts of this mystery, as they are here set down, being the parts of our Religion, into which all Christians are initiated or 〈◊〉 , the foundation on which all our Christian practice is built, the branches of our initiation into Christian religion, grounds of our believing and practicing the Christian doctrine. Thus ch. 6. 5. Where speaking of the wicked heretics of those times, the Gnostics, he mentions it as a piece of their doctrine, that 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 is 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 , 〈◊〉 ( i. e. the Christian religion, the being of that profession) is gain, mater of secular advantage In other places it's true, that 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 , piety is taken in a narrower 〈◊〉 , for that virtue particularly of worshiping god aright, as Tit. 2. 12. in distinction from the duties towards others and ourselves, 1 Tim. 6. 11. 2 Pet. 1. 6. and in one place, 1 Tim. 5. 4. for the return of gratitude in Children to their 〈◊〉 , which is a kind of piety also, as the love of our Country, honoring of Magistrates, that are a sort of gods, as well as parents to us, is ordinarily called piety. Dr. Ham. Annot. f.

God's]

The three persons of the Trinity in 〈◊〉 of 〈◊〉 . Gen. 1. 1. God's made the world. So the Hebrew Text readeth in the plural number. Angels also and Magistrates are thus called, Psal. 82. 1. Psal. 8, 5.

;;2. The three persons of the Godhead, each whereof is God of himself: unto equality with the three persons, Adam was tempted and aspired, Gen. 3. 5, 22.

Spoken also of Images, Gen. 31. 30, 32. & 35. 2. False and imaginary gods, Ex. 12. 12. 2 Chr. 7. 29. A false representation of the true God, 〈◊〉 . 32. 8, 31. 2 Chron. 13. 8. Molten-gods, Exod. 34. 17. Satanical 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 , 1 Sam. 28. 13. Magistrates, Exod. 22. 28. 〈◊〉 . 82. 1, 6. The Sun, Moon, or any of the host of heaven, Deut. 17. 3.

My God's]

;;signifieth the 〈◊〉 , 〈◊〉 were images, whereby he worshiped his gods, Gen. 31. 30. The Scriptures use to call those things gods which represent God and his presence to men, Exod. 32. 4. 1 King. 12. 28.

Godward]

To, or towards God, Exod. 18. 19. 2 Cor. 3. 4. 1 Thess. 1. 8.

Gog]

The roof of a house. The Son of 〈◊〉 , 1 Chr. 5. 4. A people, Ezek. 38. 2, 3, &c

〈◊〉 Gog and Magog, ome understand, the Kings of Syria, and Asia, and the adjacent Nations. Some the Goths, &c. 〈◊〉 . Onomast.

Gog and 〈◊〉 ]

;;All the secret and open enemies of Christ and his Church, both Papists and Turks, 〈◊〉 themselves against the Gospel, in those last times, since the 〈◊〉 of Satan. And 〈◊〉 much the very names themselves import; for God sign. fieth one covered, and 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 one uncovered. Rev. 20. 8. Even Gog and Megog, to gather them to 〈◊〉 . For the better understanding of this place, we must have recourse to Ezekiel, ch. 38, & 39. where under the names Gog and Magog, are comprehended such Princes as gathered great Armies to fight against Israel, after they came from the Captivity of Babylon. This story is here in the Revelations applied to those enemies as Satan should muster together against the Church of Christ, a little before his coming to judgment. Other Authors 〈◊〉 Gog and Magog to the Turks and Persians, and such Regions as are at their command. Cartain it is, that a mighty Army of such Heathenish people, stirred up by the Devil (being now let loose) is meant here.

They that by Gog understand the Pope and his strength, do not consider that before this battle be, the Pope, the Beast, and false 〈◊〉 , are utterly destroyed, and sent packing to hell; as in the former Chapter may be seen ver. 20. Bernard.

Gog signifieth Asia Minor, having 〈◊〉 name from Gyges the King thereof. Magog is 〈◊〉 , the chief seat of Idolatry in Syria, built by the 〈◊〉 thians, and 〈◊〉 them have that name. So that by the land of Magog, we are to understand Syria, and by Gog, Asia Minor. And forasmuch as the Princes and people of Syria and Asia Minor, were the most grievous enemies of the Jews, by whom they sustained the chiefest calamitles after their return before the coming of Christ: therefore by an usual speech in the 〈◊〉 language, the mortal enemies of the Church are called Gog and Magog. And in this sense these names are used, to signify the enemies of the Church, meaning not the same enemies whereof Ezekiel speaketh, but the like enemies of the Church, which should afflict the true Christians, as Gog and Magog afflicted the Jews. Leighs Annot.

Goings]

;;Ways, steps, and treadings, which are in the true members of the Church, marvelous beautiful, Cant. 7. 1. How beautiful are thy goings with 〈◊〉 ? See seat.

〈◊〉 ]

A passing over. A City, Deut 4. 43.

;;2. The precious gifts and merits of Christ; to wit, his wisdom, riches, sanctification and redemption. Rev. 3. 18. Come buy of me gold.

;;3. The most pure graces of the Spirit; to wit, faith, hope, and love. Psal. 45. 19. Her clothing is of broidered gold. A Metaph.

Fine gold]

;;signifieth, most pure and precious gold, Psal. 19. 10.

Streets of pure gold]

;;All, even the meanest parts (as streets in a City) of the Church, to be most precious beautiful, and glorious. Rev. 21. 21. And the street of the City is Pure gold. Some hereby understand, that the actions of God's children, shall be pure, holy, and unblameable.

Gold of 〈◊〉 ]

;;Girdles made of most pure and precious gold, such as is to behad in Ophir, Dan. 4. 5. Jer. 10. 9. Whereof read in 1 King. 9. 28. A Metonymy.

Golden]

put for

• 1. that which is of gold, Est. 4. 11. Isa. 13. 12.
• 2. That which is compared to, or like to gold, Eccl. 12. 6. Zech. 4. 12.
• 3. An exactor of gold, Isa. 14. 4.
• 4. Alluring means, 〈◊〉 . 51. 7.

Golden Altar]

;;Christ Jesus, who is both High Priest, Sacrifice, and Altar. This place alludeth to Exod. 30. 3. Unto the Altar of 〈◊〉 which was before the veyl. Some expound it of the select company of Saints, the first fruits of the world. See Altar. Rev. 8. 3. To offer upon the golden Altar.

Golden censer]

;;An instrument belonging to the holy of holies, wherein the Priests did burn sweet 〈◊〉 before the Lord; which did figure the Mediation of Christ, in which the prayers of the Saints were acceptable. Rev. 8. 3. Having a golden censer.

Golden crown]

;;Kingly dignity and power, wherewith Christ himself, or the executioner of his judgments shall be endowed. Revel. 14. 14. Having on his head a golden crown.

Golden girdle]

;;The diligenee and readiness of Christ in governing his Church, whose work herein is precious and acceptable to God. Rev. 1. 13. Girt with a golden girdle.

Golden reed]

;;An instrument to measure withal (which being of gold) doth signify the Church measured, to be of a most excellent work, and of a worthy work manship. Rev. 21. 15. And he had a golden Reed, to 〈◊〉 the City with.

Seven golden Uials]

Rev. 15. 7. They are golden in allusion to the vessels of the Sanctuary, Exod. 25. 29. & 37. 16. Jer. 52. 19 whereby is shown that God's wrath is like gold, pure and free from the dregs of passion; and also that God will get himself much glory by these judgments: for gold is the most pure and glistering metal Annot.

Gold-smith]

Some of that trade commended, Neh. 3. 8, 31, 32. Some discommended, Isa. 40. 19. & 41. 7. & 46. 6.

Gold-rings]

His hands are as gold-rings, Cant. 5. 14. See Beryl.

Golgotha]

The place of a skull. The place where Christ was crucified, Mar. 15. 22.

〈◊〉 ]

A Captivity, or passing over. A Giant slain by David, 1 Sam. 17. 50. put also for his Brother, 2 Sam. 21. 19.

Gomer]

Consuming, a consumer, or wanting; is put for,

• 1. The Son of Japheth, Gen. 10. 2.
• 2. The people that came of him, Ezek. 38. 6.
• 3. The daughter of Diblaim, Hos. 1. 3.

As Gomer in the Hebrew tongue sometimes signifieth fullness or perfection, and sometimes consumption; so God had shown abundance of good unto this people, but they wasted and consumed it all, and themselves too, by idolatry and other excesses of sin, wherefore they were likewise at last to be consumed by God's judgments. D. Annot. on Hos. 1. 3.

〈◊〉 ]

A rebellious people. A City, Gen. 13. 〈◊〉 . The Jews termed the people hereof, as who walked in their ways, Isa. 1. 10.

Gone]

My beloved was gone, Cant. 5. 6. or he was gone, he was gone, he was turned way, passed away, 〈◊〉 duplication is more 〈◊〉 , and being without 〈◊〉 , notes the expedition and certainty of his absence, for which the is much troubled, and like a sad widow wrings her hands, and cries out, he is gone, he is gone. This is the first evil that follows, and 〈◊〉 security, and contempt of Christ, who suspends, and denies that light of his presence, which he had 〈◊〉 freely before. Seasonable acceptations of grace, when it is tendered to us, are a Christians wisdom and safety, lest they find such favor no more. Good opportunities, are like water spilled, which is not easily collected, or not so purely. Annot.

By the words joined herewith, as 〈◊〉 out, aside, astray, back, down, 〈◊〉 , out over, up, a whoring, &c. the meaning is plain.

Good, being referred unto things ]

;;That which all men desire, as being pleasurable unto them. Psal. 4. 7. 〈◊〉 will 〈◊〉 us any good? Here it signifies the chief good, even true 〈◊〉 , which all men seem to desire.

;;2. Prosperity, and everything that is prosperous. Lam. 38. 〈◊〉 and good proceeds from God. Isa. 45. 7. I create good and evil.

;;3. That which is expedient, behooveful, or convenient. 1 Cor. 7. 1. It is not good for man to touch a woman. Gen. 2. 18. It is not good for man to be alone. And else where very often good is put for commodious and profitable. 〈◊〉 in Gen. 2. 28. speaks of the good of our kind, which could not be multiplied by a solitary man. But Paul 1 Cor. 7. 1. speaks of a personal good, which a solitary man enjoyeth, being freed from many 〈◊〉 incumbrances. For Adam (or other men) to be alone and solitary, without a companion, and the society of a woman, had been not good, but incommodious, both for man himself, who had 〈◊〉 a follow to live, and sweetly to converse withal: and for mankind, which could not by one alone be 〈◊〉 ; for the Church, which was to be gathered out of 〈◊〉 kind being multiplied; 〈◊〉 for the glory of God, who was to be honored in the sending of his Son made of a woman: also, in the just punishment of the reprobate, and most sree salvation of the elect, Gen. 1. 4. See 1 Cor. 7. 35. where the comely or expedient expresseth good in verse. 1. Also, as evil is put for grievous, and displeasing: so is good used for pleasing, Gen. 48. 17. & 16. 9.

;;4. That which is virtuous and morally honest, righteous and just. Psal. 37. 27. Flee from evil and do good. Psal. 14. 1. There is none that doth good.

;;5. That which is commendable or praise-worthy. Mat. 26. 10. She hath done a good work upon me. 2 Tim. 4. 7. A good fight. 1 Tim. 9. 13. A good 〈◊〉 .

;;6. That which lacks nothing to the perfection of being. Gen. 1. 38. And 〈◊〉 , all was very good.

;;7. That which is healthful, wholesome, and available to our salvation. Rom. 8. 28. All things work together for good to them that love God. Eph. 4. 29. Put that 〈◊〉 is good to edifying. 1 Tim. 4. 6. 〈◊〉 . 6. 5.

;;8. That which is sufficient. 2 Chr. 30. 22. He spake to the Levites that had good knowledge.

9. Cheerful, solemn, and joyful. 1 Sam. 25. 8. We come in a good season.

;;10. That which is lawful to be used. 1 Tim. 4. 4. 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 of God is good. Also that which is profitable to edify others, and pleasing to God, Rom. 14. 21.

;;11. That which is sweet and grateful. Gen. 3. 6. 〈◊〉 she saw that the fruit was good. 2 Chr. 18. 7. He doth not 〈◊〉 good unto me. Also, that which is better, Rom. 14. 21.

;;12. The benefits of God, both for this life and the life to come. Psal. 103. 5. Which fills thy mouth with good things.

;;13. Christian liberty, or the doctrine of our freedom from the bondage of the Ceremonial Law, given to the Jews. Rom. 14. 16.

14. That which is agreeable to the Will of God, Eccl. 2. 10.

15. That which is profitable, 〈◊〉 , Ephes. 2. 3.

16. Delight, Ibid. 24.

17. Fruitful, Gen. 41. 24.

18. Useful, and to be esteemed, Deut. 6. 11.

19. Helpful, Est. 2. 8.

20. Joyful, Est. 9. 22.

21. That which is opposite to evil, Psal. 37. 27.

22. Great, Gen. 25. 8.

23. Approving, Act. 23. 1. or clearing, Heb. 13. 18.

24. Not to be found fault with, Isa. 39. 8.

25. Easily v rough upon, or fitted to receive, or apt for fruitfulness, Luk. 8. 15.

Good: when it is referred unto persons ]

;;One, who is holy of 〈◊〉 , or most holy or perfectly holy, being author of all hol nesse in others. Mar. 10. 18. There is none good but 〈◊〉 , which is God. Hos. 8. 3. Good put for God himself.

He is good essentially, absolutely, fully, completely, unspeakably, perpetually. Good in himself, in his attributes, ordinances, &c.

;;2. A godly man, who is unperfectly good, doing good to many. Act. 11. 24. 〈◊〉 was a good man: thus all regenerate persons be good. Tearmed godly and merciful, Mic. 7. 2. marg.

;;3. It's put for fair, Gen. 24. 16. marg. Pleasing, Deut. 6. 18. Est. 1. 21. marg. Ones self, Job 5. 27. marg.

Good]

The Hebr. word 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 is used to express many things.

Evarlasting Gospel]

;;The gladsome tidings of everlasting reconciliation with God, through faith in Christ alone, according to the eternal decree of God. Rev. 14. 6. Having an everlasting Gospel.

Gourd]

It's an herb, which after the manner of the Vine, spreadeth itself, coupling itself by certain strings to other herbs or trees growing near it. It hath white flowers, which it shooteth forth, especially towards night; but unless the branches thereof be kept from the ground, laid on poles, sticks, or such like; though it may 〈◊〉 , yet will it not 〈◊〉 , but consumeth away. It's 〈◊〉 is first soft, sull of juice and seed, but by degrees waxeth hard. in a hot ground it fructifieth most, as being of a cold and moist nature. It quickly groweth up, and quickly decreaseth. It's not unwholesome sor food, very good sor many diseases, Jonah was refreshed by the shadow hereof, Jonah 4. 6.

Grace]

;;is the free good will of God, whereby he counteth us dear in Christ Jesus, forgiveth us our sins, and giveth us the Holy Ghost, and upright life, and eternal felicity. Thus Peter 〈◊〉 defineth it.

;;Grace is taken, 1. In Scripture,;;

• ;;First, for the love or liberality of God to man.;;
• ;;Secondly, for the faithfulness of man to God or man.;;
• ;;Thirdly, for the acceptation of man with God or man.;;
• ;;Fourthly, for the quality or comeliness for which he is accepted.;;

;;2. In common Writers it is taken particularly for three Sisters, called the three Graces, and historically, for any woman of that name.;;

• ;;It's put 1. for the free and eternal favor and good will of God, which is the Well-spring of all the benefits that 〈◊〉 have. 2 Tim. 1. 9. But according to his own purpose and grace. Rom. 11. 6. If of grace, not of works, &c. This is grace of Election, which makes us gracious and acceptable unto God. And by this grace we are so often in Scriptures said to be justified and saved, Rom. 3. 4, 5. Act. 13. 43.
• ;;2. Faith, with all the healthful and saving effects and fruits thereof: which are called Grace, because they are freely given us. Heb. 12. 15. No man fall away from the grace of God, 1 Pet. 5. 12. This is grace freely given, which Popish Sophisters do wickedly 〈◊〉 with that grace whereby we are freely beloved.
• ;;3. Free imputation of Christ's righteousness. Rom. 5. 15. The grace of God hath abounded 〈◊〉 many. Also, verse. 17, 20, 21. In all which places, by Grace is meant, the righteousness of Christ freely imputed to Believers. This is the grace of Justification, which Papists confound with grace of Sanctification.
• ;;4. The work of the Spirit, renewing our souls to the Image of God, and continually guiding and strengthening them to the obedience of his Will. Rom. 6. 14. Ye are under grace. Also, verse. 23. 2 Cor. 12. 9. My grace is sufficient for thee. This is the grace of Sanctification, which is freely given, as a witness of God's favor in electing and justifying us.
• ;;5. That happy and blessed condition into which we are admitted, and wherein we are kept by the good will and free favor of God. Rom. 5. 2. We have this access into this grace wherein we 〈◊〉 .
• ;;6. The gifts of the holy Spirit freely bestowed upon us. 2 Pet. 3. 18. But grow in grace. 1 Pet. 5. 10. and elsewhere often, as Joh. 1. 16. This also is grace, freely given, but doth not make us grateful to God.
• ;;7. The Spiritual or Evangelical Worship of God. Heb. 13. 9. It is good the heart be established by grace.
• ;;8. Some Godly comfort and instruction to cause others to profit in godliness. Eph. 4. 29. That it may minister grace to the Hearers.
• ;;9. Alms or works, of mercy to the poor. 2 Cor. 8. 4. That we would receive the grace.
• ;;10. The bountiful liberality of God, enabling us to give to the poor. 2 Cor. 9. 8. God is able to make all grace abound towards you.
• ;;11. Favor or liking with men. Gen. 19. 19. Thy servant have found grace in thy sight. And elsewhere often, as Gen. 6. 8.

• ;;12. The effectual presence of the Holy Ghost. Act. 14. 26. From whence they had been 〈◊〉 to the grace of God. 1 Cor. 15. 10. The grace of God, &c.

  ;; Note. Popish Sophisters wrest this place in favor of free will, as if our will by natural strength did concur with grace to bring forth a good work, which should be partly of the efficacy of grace, partly from power of nature; therefore they corruptly translate the words [ Grace of God with me ] leaving out the article ne, which is with me: and neglecting the scope of the Apostle, attributing all to grace, and to the efficacy of the Spirit, which being present with him, made him labor, and to be what he was, and do whatsoever he did, himself being but an instrument and servant to the grace of God, from whence flows whatsoever is in man good and pleasing to God, it being impossible any freedom towards good to be in our will, till it be freed by Grace from slavery of sin; and so far forth as it is free, it willeth, desireth, and worketh good things. God's grace and Spirit working both the desire and deed, Phil. 2. 13.

• ;;13. Afflictions and bands, suffered for Christ. Phil. 1. 7. You are all partakers of my Grace. This was a free and peculiar gift, verse. 29.
• ;;14. The benefit and gift of heavenly wisdom. 2 Cor. 1. 12. Not by fleshly wisdom, but by the grace of God, &c. that is, by the wisdom freely given me of God.
• ;;15. Generally, any benefit bestowed upon us. 2 Cor. 8. 1. Of the grace of God bestowed upon the Churches.

• ;;16. Elegance of speech, which made Christ gracious and amiable to all. Psal. 45. 4. Full of grace are thy lips. Luk. 4. 22. Words full of grace.

  ;;Our ordinary acceptation of this word Grace, in the English tongue, when we speak of actions or affairs, is to signify, either,;;

• • ;;1. Some ornament of the body, as a garment, ring, jewel, &c. which we call the grace of the person, and this commonly is a substance: Or,;;
  • ;;2. Some comeliness of the action or speech, as order, timelinesse and Accommodation to the persons, place, time, and occasion; this also we call the grace of the work, &c. and this is but the quality thereof.;;
• ;;17. The 〈◊〉 , fruits and feeling of God's good will increased in us. Rom. 1. 7. Grace and peace from God the Father.
• ;;18. Eternal glory in heaven, 1 Pet. 1. 7. As they which are the 〈◊〉 of the 〈◊〉 of Christ, 1 Pet. 1. 12. Also it comprehends the benefit of this present life, which is common to both.
• ;;19. Acceptation with God and men. Luk. 2. 22. Jesus increased in grace (or favor) with God 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 . Isa. 4. 6. God gives grace to the humble; that is, makes them accepted and favored.
• ;;20. The grace or calling of Apostleship, freely committed to Paul, Rom. 12. 13. Also, both his Apostleship and conversion to Christ, Rom. 15. 15.

Grace]

1 Cor. 10. 30. or Thanksgiving, marg. Heb. 12. 28. Let us have 〈◊〉 , or let us 〈◊〉 fast, marg. 2 Cor. 8. 19. or Gift, marg. Dr. Ham. in his Annotations on Luk. 1. p. 205. 2. mentioneth the several notions of 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 , namely,

• 1 For the Gospel of Christ, as it signifies the matter of the Gospel, Heb. 13. 9. and as it signifies the 〈◊〉 or promulgating of it, Act. 18. 27.
• 2 As it signifies charity, 〈◊〉 , Act. 2 47. (so he renders the word 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 , which in our Translation is savor ) And very near to that for 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 , a gift, 1. Pet. 3. 7.
• 3 It signifies also a reward, either that of good words, of thanks, as we call it; or 〈◊〉 further, of some real return, a retribution for a good turn, Luk. 17. 9. So Luk. 6. 32, 33, 34. For which there is 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 , reward, verse. 35. So 1 Pet. 2. 19.
• 4 It signifies favor, or mercy, Luk. 1. 30. And in effect in all those places, where it signifies the Gospel in opposition to the Law, that being so styled, because there is so much of God's favor and undeserved mercy discernible in it, contrary to 〈◊〉 or 〈◊〉 .
• 5 It is taken for virtue, goodness in the latitude, without restraint to any particular kind of it, 2 Pet. 3. 18. Grow in grace, i. e. all kind of goodness.
• 6 It is peculiarly used for the sufferings which had 〈◊〉 St. Paul, in the discharge of his office, Phil. 1. 7. See his Ann. thereon, p. 672.

Grace]

;;The sense and feeling of the favor of God, being reconciled unto us by Christ, Heb. 13. 9.

;;2. Faith which proceedeth from the grace of God, Heb. 12. 28.

;;3. The free benefit of God, Heb. 2. 9.

To find grace]

;;To have proof of God's mercy and free favor, in preserving and blessing us. Gen. 6. 8. And Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord.

;;2. To have men gracious and favorable unto us, to do us good, or to forbear to do us evil. Gen. 23. 10. If I have now found grace in thy sight.

Gift of grace]

;;A free gift, such as was the calling of Paul, a Pharisee, and a persecuror unto the Apostleship, and all the graces which he had to discharge it, Eph. 3. 7.

Grace for grace]

;;A lively faith, as one grace; afterwards, eternal life, as another grace. Joh. 1. 16. And grace for grace: or, grace of the New Testament, for the grace of the Old Testament; permanent grace for shadowish: Theophylact.

;;Or thus: Grace upon grace; that is, one grace of the Spirit after another; the Spirit of Christ daily pouring new graces upon us, and all freely. This is the best exposition.

;;Or thus: Grace, even grace thus freely given, without merits. Like phrase in Job 2. 4. Amos 3. 15.

;;Or thus: Grace and favor shown to us, for the love and favor which God bears his Son.

;;Or thus: Grace conveyed into us, from the 〈◊〉 of grace in Christ.

Note. Grace in the first place noteth these two ;;things:

• ;;1. The gracious favor of God embracing his Elect by Christ: This is the grace of Justification.
• ;;2. The gist of the Spirit dwelling in the Elect, and daily renewing them: This is grace of Sanctification.

;;In the latter place [ for grace ] is opposed unto the merit of works, and is as much as gratis, freely.

Grace in Christ]

;;The favor or free love wherewith God doth embrace his Elect for Christ, 2 Tim. 2. 1.

Grace no more grace]

;;Grace to lose the nature of grace, whose property is to be every way free and undue; whereas, if election came of works foreseen, then it should be due to works, and so grace were destroyed. Rom. 11. 6. Else were grace no more grace.

Spirit of grace and prayer]

;;Two effects or gifts of the holy Spirit; to wit, first, a sense or feeling of the favor of God, being become truly propitious to us; and secondly, deprecation or supplication, that God would turn away his wrath, grant full pardon, and continue favorable, the Spirit stirring up secret sighs and groans in the heart for these purposes, Zach. 12. 10. Rom. 8. 26.

Throne of grace]

;;God the Father, favourably embracing us, and being ready to hear us, for and through Christ his Son, Heb. 4. 14.

Grace and truth]

;;The free forgiveness of sins in Christ, unto a full reconciliation with God, and the fulfilling of all the shadows of the Law. Joh. 1. 14, 17. But grace and 〈◊〉 came by Jesus Christ.

;; Note. This sense which is here given, appeareth to be the true and only fit sense, by comparing verse. 14. with verse. 17. wherein grace and truth be set against the Law, which threatened malediction and wrath to all transgressors of it, and contained Ceremonies or shadows of things to be performed by Christ, who by taking away the curse in his death on the Cross, to the reconciliation of sinners with God, together with the renovation of their minds by the Spirit, and in that his sacrifice of himself fully accomplishing the Legal Ceremonies, is thence worthily said to have come to us men full of grace and truth. Unless (with learned Mr. Rollock ) in the first place we will understand all the glorious properties of the God head, and in special, his true knowledge and divine wisdom, which he shown forth in his miracles and Doctrine (in such wise as he was thereby known to his Disciples, to be the only begotten Son of God) and in verse. 17. by Grace and Truth, with the same Author and others, take the free remission of sins by the death of Christ, and the clear and manifest knowledge of God in Christ, without legal shadows to be meant. Let the learned judge.

Gracious]

Its spoken of a wise man's mouth, Eccl. 10. 12. Of a woman, Prov. 11. 16. Of the inhabitants of 〈◊〉 , Jer. 22. 23. Of Christ's words, Luk. 4. 22. Of God, 1 Pet. 2. 3. implying,

• 1. That he is free, and doth what he doth freely without respect of merit or desert in men.
• 2. That he is kind to his very enemies, as the word is applied, Luk. 6. 35.
• 3. That he is courteous and kind in a special manner, Eph. 4. 32.
• 4. That he is bountiful and liberal, and giveth plentifully, Rom. 1. 5.
• 5. That he is gentle and easy to be entreated; whence his yoke is said to be easy, Mat. 11. 30.
• 6. That he stands not upon respect of persons; and thus he regards the poor, Psal. 68. 10. and will not disdain to teach sinners his way, Psal. 25. 8.
• 7. That he is sweet; that is, wonderful comfortable, pleasing and filling with delight.
• 8. That being gracious, he accepted of the Gentiles to favor, when the Jews were cut off, Rom. 11. 22.

In all those the Original word (though diversely rendered) is the same. Byfield on 1 Pet. 2. 3. p. 238, 239.

Graciously]

Of his favor, grace and mercy, Gen. 33. 5, 11. Psal. 119. 29. Receive us graciously, Hos. 14. 2 or give good. Accept out of thy fatherly favor the true witnesses and effects of our conversion; show thy reconciliation to us, by thy gracious blessing of us: in thy grace and mercy in our all and only hope. 〈◊〉 .

Graffe]

Rom. 11. 17. 〈◊〉 thou being a wild 〈◊〉 -tree were 〈◊〉 . Paul useth a similitude of grafting a branch of the wild Olive into the true, but contrary to nature: for nature adviseth to set sweet graffs into sour 〈◊〉 ; and although it be natural for the stock to be vehiculum 〈◊〉 , to convey the nourishment to the graff, yet naturally virtus 〈◊〉 , the quality of the juice is from the graff, not from the stock; but in our supernatural 〈◊〉 , the branch of a wild Olive is made partaker not only of the root, but fatness also of the true Olive. 〈◊〉 Annot.

Graffing]

;;A joining of a Sience or Graffe so nearly and firmly in a stock, as that it becomes one with it.

;;2. The uniting or joining the Elect unto Christ, most nearly, by the Spirit and Faith, Rom. 6. 5. And the Word is said to be graffed in them. Jam. 1. 21. Receive with 〈◊〉 the Word graffed in you.

;;There be two sorts of graffs and plants: one graffed into Christ by profession of mouth only: the other, by the faith of heart also, Matt. 7. 21. Rom. 2. 28, 29. 2 Tim. 3. 5. The 〈◊〉 may be broken ost, Rom. 11. 17. The latter cannot perish, Rom. 11. 20.

Grain]

;;A small measure or portion of any gift. Mat. 13. 31. If ye have faith like the grain of Mustard 〈◊〉 ; that is, the least degree of a lively faith, if it be but a true desire to believe, in a truly touched and humbled heart. A stone, Amos 9. 9. marg.

Grand-mother]

A Grandame, ones Father or Mothers Mother, 2 Tim. 1. 5.

Grant]

Grape]

It's taken also properly for the fruit of the Vine, Numb. 13. 23. Deut. 23. 24. & 24. 21. the 〈◊〉 whereof is termed blood, Deut. 32. 14. as being red coloured, like blood. Hereupon Christ killing his enemies, and having his clothes sprinkled with blood, is described like one treading grapes in the Wine-fat, Isa. 63. 2, 3. Rev. 14. 19, 20. & 19 13. Literally it is meant of the Wine; that was plentiful in the land of 〈◊〉 : and spiritually, of the heavenly graces wherewith Christ filleth his people, Isa. 55. 1. Ainsworth.

Grape]

;;Such holy works as the Church (like Grapes) beareth upon the sending down and shedding abroad the gifts of the Spirit upon her, in the Assemblies, at the Preaching of the Word, Cant. 7. 12. Let us see if the Vine flourish: whether it hath budded the small grape.

Grape-gatherer]

One that gathereth 〈◊〉 into baskets, Jer. 6. 9. where a great spoil, and that redoubled, both of persons and prey is intimated, though not an utter extirpation of either. Annot. See Jer. 49. 9. & Obad. 5.

Grapes]

;;The fruit and works of men's lives, which if they be good, they be likened to sweet and good grapes: if they be wicked works, then they are compared unto wild and sour grapes: if notoriously wicked, then they are called grapes of Sodom, grapes of gall, and 〈◊〉 grapes. 〈◊〉 . 5. 2. It brought forth wild grapes. And verse. 4. Deut. 32. 32. Their vine exceedeth the vine of Sodom, their ;; grapes are grapes of gall; because they did offend and provoke God, as sour grapes offend our taste.

Grass]

;;That which is frail, and of short continuance, fading like the grass, Psal. 90. 5. In the morning he flourisheth like the grass, Psal. 103. 15.

Grass]

The earth bringeth it forth, Gen. 1. 12. and it is said to spring out of the Earth, 2 Sam. 23. 4. And therefore is termed, the grass of the field, Numb. 22. 4. and the grass of the earth, Job 5. 25. Yea even upon the very Mountains the Lord maketh it to grow, Psal. 147. 8. and that to be food for Oxen, Numb. 22. 4. Horses and Mules, 1 King. 18. 5. Wilde Asses, Job 6. 5. Cattle, Psal. 104. 14.

There's some growing upon the house-tops, which comes to nothing, Psal. 129. 6. It's at the first green and flourishing, but being upon the sudden cut down withereth, Psal. 37. 2. & 90. 5. Isa. 40. 6. 1 Pet. 1. 24. the grass of the field, Mat. 6. 30. 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 , signifies anything that grows in the field or Garden; here the genericall word is restrained by the Context, and referring to the Lilies of the field, verse. 28. doth signify a flower, one day glorious and beautiful in the field, and the next day or soon after, cut down, and used for the heating of Ovens or Furnaces. Dr. Ham. Annot. p. 41. 2.

The grass faileth, or the herbage, (that properly that is newly sprung up, and sprouteth out of the ground, the tender sprout, Gen. 1. 11, 12. ch. 37. 27. & 66. 14. Jer. 14. 5.) is gone, or consumed. Annot.

Grassehopper]

A devouring creature, Amos 7. 1. Might be eaten, Lev. 11. 22. The great ones in the cold encamp in hedges, but when the Sun ariseth, fly away, Nah. 3. 17. In the midst of the heat, when the air is most pure, the clearer it singeth. But the males only sing, so do not the 〈◊〉 . They usually die there where they first begin to live.

〈◊〉 ]

Amos 7. 1. or green worms, marg.

Grate]

Exod. 27. 4. or Sieve, as the word is Englished, Amos 9. 9. It was a broad plate of brass, with many little holes, through which ashes and the like things might fall, and served as an hearth for the fire to 〈◊〉 upon. Ayasw.
