;;All Civil Magistrates; who therefore be styled human creatures, because howsoever they be appointed of God, yet, their kinds, number and order are not so of God laid out, but that man may make more or fewer, of greater authority or lesle, as occasion of places, times, and disposition of the people require. 1 Pet. 2. 13. Submit yourself to e very human creature: So it is read in the Original, word for word; and not ordinances of men, as our Translations render it.

;; Note: Magistracy is an human ordinance or creature, three ways:

• ;;2. Objectively, because human affairs are the object or thing about which it is conversant.
• ;;3. In respect of the end, because it is appointed, and doth serve for the great good of men.

;;Moreover, howsoever divers forms of government be found out by men (every King in his Kingdom, for necessity of his estate, may create new officers and honors) yet the original institution of Rulers and Magistrates is from God, who hath ordained Civil powers as well as Eccles: astical, Rom. 13. 1.

And outwardly towards God, it 〈◊〉 a man lowly in the use of the means, and hath a continued fear and a wefulnesse of God's presence, and stands not at it to be counted vile for the service of God.

〈◊〉 ]

Mat. 26. 30. or Psalm, marg. In Eph. 5. 19. & Col. 3. 16. as the Apostle exhorteth us to singing, so he instructeth what the matter of our song should be, viz. Psalms, Hymns, and Spiritual Songs. Those three are the title of the Songs of David, as they are delivered unto us by the holy Ghost himself: Some of them are called Mizmarim, Psalms; some Tebillim, Hymns; some Shirim, Songs, Spiritual songs. Psalms were sung on the voice and instrument 〈◊〉 , Ps. 108. 1. Dan. 3. 7. Hymns were Songs of Thanksgiving for a particular benefit received, Mat. 26. 30. Songs, wherein we give thanks for general blessings, as 〈◊〉 David praised the Lord for the works of Creation, Psal. 104. 3. Leigh' s Annot. on Col. 3. 16. Bodius on this place (having related the opinions of others) delivereth, that the Apostle under these three words, Psalms, Hymns, Songs, comprehendeth all kinds of 〈◊〉 songs, whereby a faithful and regenerate soul should 〈◊〉 and 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 , to the glory of God, the edification of the brethren, and his own 〈◊〉 , and growth in grace.

And when they 〈◊〉 sung an 〈◊〉 , Mat. 26. 30. It was the custom of the Jews after Supper to say Grace, and then to say or 〈◊〉 Verses or Songs, 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 the 〈◊〉 Lamb; at which time they were 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 from the 112. to the 119. 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 matter of thos Psalms agreeing 〈◊〉 with the 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 . This may have been the Hymn, or rather Hymns or 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Christ sang here with his Disciples. But it's also not improbable 〈◊〉 it was some other Hymn accommodated to this particular 〈◊〉 of Christ's, and this sung by them all 〈◊〉 the same manner as we read of the Christians Hymn, Act. 4. 24. Dr. Hamm. Annot. g.

〈◊〉 ]

;;In the 〈◊〉 of falsehood and 〈◊〉 , to cover 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 and holy pr tences. 1 Tim. 4. 2. Speaking 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 .

;;This cannot 〈◊〉 unto 〈◊〉 old 〈◊〉 , the Manichees, Enchratites, and 〈◊〉 , 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 the institution of Marriage, and 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 and Procreation of mankind to 〈◊〉 , and affirmed of 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 , that they were of the Devil: as the 〈◊〉 , 〈◊〉 said that flesh, Egs, Milk, and Wine 〈◊〉 the gall of the Prince of 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 , and that the Devil made flesh of the stinking matter of evil. Likewise Marcian the Heretic held, that they 〈◊〉 did eat flesh, did as if they eat and devoured souls, August. 〈◊〉 . 42.

;;These speak 〈◊〉 in open blasphemy. But the Papists that do not in express downright terms, absolutely condemn Meats and Marriage, to be unclean, but affirming all Creatures in their own nature to be pure and good, yet under pretence of holiness, religion, chastity, 〈◊〉 , fasting, prayer, by Laws and Decrees sorbid Marriage and 〈◊〉 to some men at all times; are they of whom the Spirit speaketh evidently, that they utter 〈◊〉 false doctrine in hypocrisy; and 〈◊〉 had need to be described by these notes, and the Church to be forewarned of them, by this prophesy of St. Paul.

Hypocrite]

;;Hypocrites be close dissemblers, which outwardly cover and cloak their wickedness, wherewith inwardly they be defiled. The Greek 〈◊〉 (from whence our English word is borrowed) signifieth, an under-judgment, that is dissimulation.

The nearer it is in color and substance unto the Sapphire, it is so much the better. Hereof there are several kinds, but all precious and useful.

As Aaron is put for his posterity, the Aaronites, 1 〈◊〉 . 12. 27. & 27 12. Also David is put for his children, 1 〈◊〉 . 4. 31. So God's people (the post rity of 〈◊〉 ) are called both Jacob and Israel very often in Scripture. Jacob is a name of 〈◊〉 , for he strove for the birth-right, but obtained it not when he took his 〈◊〉 by the heel in the 〈◊〉 , and thereupon was called Jacob, Gen. 25. 22, 26. But Israel is a name of power and 〈◊〉 ; 〈◊〉 after he had wrestled with the Angel, behaved himself princely, wept, 〈◊〉 , and prevailed; his name as thereby changed 〈◊〉 Jacob to Israel, that is, a Prince and 〈◊〉 with God, 〈◊〉 . 32. 24, 26, 28. 〈◊〉 . 12. 3, 4.

These names are not to be met with in the story of the Old 〈◊〉 , but are taken out of other Records of the Jews (as divers other things mentioned in the New Testament touching Moses, Act. 7. 22, 23, 25.) being the name of the chief Magicians, who did the miracles before Pharaoh, Exod. 7. In those Records they are named Johanne and Mamre, Janis and Jambres, Johanne and Mambre, Jane and Mamre, 〈◊〉 and Jambres, John and Ambrose, 〈◊〉 and Jambros.

His hand, power, or concession. The Father of Ahinadob, 1 King. 4. 14. The Son of Joah, 1 Chr. 6. 21. The Son of Zechariah, 1 Chr. 27. 21. A Seer, 2 Chr. 9. 29. A Prophet. Ezr. 5. 1. The 〈◊〉 at the place, Casiphia, Ezr. 8. 17. One that went up with 〈◊〉 , Neh. 12. 4.

Idle]

;;He that may 〈◊〉 and will not, but ceaseth to labor, through love of ease. Exod. 5. 17. Ye are 〈◊〉 idle.

;;2. One that is 〈◊〉 , 〈◊〉 he lacks work. Mat. 20. 3, 6. Why stand ye here all day idle? Because no man hath hired us. The former are idle voluntarily, but these latter 〈◊〉 .

3. Unprofitable, and which tendeth not unto edification, Mat. 12. 36.

Idle]

Of every idle word, Mat. 12. 36. It is the custom of all Writers, very frequent in the Sacred 〈◊〉 , to use phrases, whereby they understand much more then they expresie So 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 , idle word, is much more then idle, vain, even blasphemous speeches. The word 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 , may bear proport on in sense to the Hebrew 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 , which signifies 〈◊〉 indeed, but frequently salse, because that which is false wants the solidity and substance of truth. It's quasi 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 , when the words are without deeds agreeing to them. It may refer to the notion of 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 , used for reproach and contumely, ch. 5. 11. for such was that against Christ, verse. 24. that great contumely and falsity of his casting out devils by the Prince of Devils. That it is some grand crime, not every word which tends not to some special end of Christian edification, appears by the next verse, where they are affirmed to be such, as for which under Christ, men are sure to be condemned, and not by evil works or actions only. Dr. Hammond, Annot. e. & m.

Idleness]

The sin of Sodom, Ezek. 16. 49. The decay of a house, Eccl. 10. 18.

Idos]

;;Any image or visible representation of a false or true God, though it be not worshipped, nor made with any intention of worship. 1 Joh. 5. 21. Keep yourselves from Idols. 2 Cor. 6. 16. 〈◊〉 agreement hath the Temple of God with Idols? Deut. 4. 15. doth manifest the truth of this. For the image which the Jews made of the true God, is condemned of God himself, Exod. 32. 8. and they that made it were punished as Idolaters. 1 Cor. 10. 7. Neither be ye Idolaters, as were some of them, with whom God was not well pleased. 1 Cor. 10. 5. Finally, in the forenamed place of 〈◊〉 . 4. 15. the only making of an image of God is precisely forbidden; and learned Divines both 〈◊〉 and prove, that both Scriptures and Fathers have indifferently used the word Idol and Image, for one and the self-same thing. Witness that one place of 〈◊〉 (among many) upon those words of 1 Joh. 5. 21. John (saith he) doth not write thus, Keep yourselves from Idolatry; that is, from the service of them: but from Idols; that is, from the very Image of them. It is therefore a dotage in Popery, to distinguish between Idol and Image, and to make the Picture of a false god only, to be an Idol.

;; Note: Papists call Idols which represent things which never were in being, or representeth them in nature of a God: and Images, which represent things that had a true being, in whom they worship (as they say) the thing represented.

;;Also note, that Idol in 〈◊〉 signifieth a figure or representation, whence cometh the diminutive Idolon, which signifieth, a little form or fashion: and therefore every little representation or figure must be called an Idol. Tertull. lib. de Idolat. Cap. 3. Images which they call Idols, Tully 1 de Finibus.

;;2. Devils, Isa. 19. 3.

They are set forth by abominations, Covers, silver, gold, staff, cisterns that will hold no water, other gods, strange gods, gods of gold, silver, brass, &c. 〈◊〉 , &c. They are most vain, 2 King. 19. 18. Isa. 37. 19. & 41. 22, 23, 29. 〈◊〉 of sense and motion, neither speaking, seeing, hearing, smelling, handling, walking, Psal. 115. 5, 6, 7. They are of no power or efficacy, less then nothing, Isa. 41. 24. Nothing in the world, 1 Cor. 8. 4. & 10. 19. namely, with relation (not unto the matter thereof, which is gold, silver, &c. or object thereof, things in heaven or earth) unto their efficacy. Hence they are named 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 , nothings, lies, vanities. Nor can they save or deliver their Worshippers in the time of trouble, Deut. 32. 37, 38. 1 Sam. 12. 21. Isa. 45. 20. Hos. 8. 5. nor themselves from thieves, Gen. 31. 19, 30. Judge. 18. 17, 18, 24. from enemies, Isa. 46. 1, 2. Jer. 48. 7. & 49. 3. Hos. 10. 6. Isa. 37. 19. They are not profitable, Hab. 2. 18. They must perish, Isa. 1. 31. & 2. 18. Jer. 8. 11, 15. They are hurtful and pernicious, Exod. 23. 33. Deut. 7. 16. Josh. 23. 13. Judge. 2. 3. They are filthy, abominable, detestable, &c.

Idol]

Zech. 11. 17. The word here for Idol signifieth a thing of nothing, of no worth, an empty, vain, vacant thing. Annot.

2 Chr. 15. 16. Hebr. horror, marg. Idols, Deut. 29. 17. Heb. 〈◊〉 gods, marg. Isa. 2. 20. His idols of silver, Heb. the Idol of his silver, marg. Zeph. 1. 3. Idols, or the stumbling blocks, marg. Comp. the text with the marg. Zech. 10. 2. 〈◊〉 . Teraphims, marg. Lev. 19. 4. Turn ye not to Idols. Idols called in Hebr. Elilim, which properly signifieth things of naught, nothing, vain, and naught worth, according to the nature of which name, Paul saith, We know that an idol is nothing in the 〈◊〉 1 Cor. 8. 4. Flim signifieth God's; 〈◊〉 , no gods; which the Greek here nameth Eidola, whereof our English Idols is derived. In the Chaldee. they are called errors or aberrations. And Elilim is applied to other things also which are of no value, as in Job 13. 4. Physicians, 〈◊〉 , that is, 〈◊〉 , or of no value; and in Jerem. 14. 14. 〈◊〉 Prophets prophesied, Elil, a thing of naught. And as Images are the same that Idols in signification, so Images of silver and gold, are called Elilim, Idols, Isa. 2. 20. So that hereby God forbiddeth the transgression of the First and Second Commandments. Ainsworth.

〈◊〉 is nothing]

;;The false and saigned gods of the Heathen. 1 Cor. 8. 4. An Idol is nothing. Gen. 31. 19, 30. An Idol to be as an empty and vain dream; not in respect of the matter whereof it is made, (for that is something) or of the external sorm, but in respect of the internal form which doth 〈◊〉 and falsify true things, making them seem to be what they are not. Also in 〈◊〉 of the vain mind of the Idolater, who wickedly imagineth some divinity to be in the Idol, whereas there is but one true God in the world. Therefore worthily is an Idol said to be nothing, being a false and lying sign, a very fiction, being nothing for signification, though something for substance, a piece of wood, stone, &c. 1 Cor. 8. 4. An Idol ought to represent either God, which it cannot, he being unlike to any mortal thing: or God's, which are none, for there is but one God.

An Idol is nothing in the world, 1 Cor. 8. 4. The meaning of this assertion of the Gnostics, and concession of St. Paul's, that an idol is nothing in the world, must needs be 〈◊〉 from the notation of the Heb. word, 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 , from 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 , that signifies nothing, that 〈◊〉 hath no existence, so far from being gods, that they are 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 , nothing in the world, no parts of God's first Creation, only inventions and sancies of men, creatures of men's 〈◊〉 creating. Wicked men are the formers first, and then the worshippers of their wicked deities. Dr. Hamm. Annot. a.

Idolater]

An Idol-worshipper, who being forgetful of God, Deut. 8. 19. and 〈◊〉 from him, Ezek. 14. 15. loveth, serveth, walketh after, seeketh to, and worshippeth 〈◊〉 , Jer. 8. 2. 〈◊〉 himself with them, Isa. 57. 5. is mad upon them, Jer. 50. 38. trusteth in them, Psal. 115. 8. 〈◊〉 a whoring after them, Ezek. 6. 9. setteth them up in his heart, Ezek. 14. 3, 4, 7. asketh counsel at them, Hos. 4. 12. lifteth up his eyes to them, Ezek. 18. 6, 12, 15. prayeth unto them, Isa. 44. 17. his heart going after them, Ezek. 20. 16.

Idolater, or with Idolaters]

1 Cor. 5. 10 That 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 here is not to be restrained to the particular sin of worshipping pictures or images, will be probable by the rest of the sins which are joined with it, for which a Christian Professor is to be excommunicated, v. 11. It seems rather to refer either to the joining in the Idol seasts, of which the Gnostic heretics were guilty; or else to those filthy practices, so frequent and customary in their mysteries, as prime rites of the Heathen false Worships, and taken up in a most vile manner by the Gnostics also. That the word should thus be used, will appear most reasonable,

1 Because of the words used in the Old Testament, to signify an idol, 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 , is one, which signifies pollution or filth, by which any man is contaminated, and which is sometimes rendered 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 , abomination, and the false god, or Idol meant sometime, when 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 , abomination is used, as Wisd. 12. 23.

2 Because their Heathen worships were so full of these soul sins, Ib. 14. 23, & 26, 27. Jer. 44. 19. 1 King. 14. 24. See Levite. 18. 24, 25, 27, 28, 29. To which purpose no doubt it was, that the sign of God's Covenant with his people, was that of Circumcision, a sign of the excision of pleasures, 〈◊〉 the casting off that 〈◊〉 of naughtiness, which had been 〈◊〉 among those Nations; and the same is more then intimated in our Baptism, the outward part of which is the washing away the filth of the flesh, and 〈◊〉 the sorsaking of all the 〈◊〉 lusts thereof. So 1 King. 15. 12. the Idols and the Sodomites are mentioned together. And 2 King. 23. 7. the 〈◊〉 of the Sodomites are cast down. So Isa. 57. 5. You that inflame yourselves with idols under every green tree. Noting that prostitution of men and women in the groves, about their Idol-Temples, in honor of their false gods. Dr. Ham. Annot. i.

Idolater]

;;One who maketh Images for Religious use, or worshippeth the Image of the true God, or of the false. Rev. 21. 8. And Idolaters.

Idolatrous]

2 King 23. 5. The idolatrous Priests. The root 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 , Camar, whence this word cometh, is used to set forth the heat and ardency of the bowels, when one is moved in compassion as Gen. 43. 30. 1 King. 3. 26. Hos. 11. 8. It is also used (1 Sam. 5. 10.) for the blackness or shrinking of the skin with famine. This title Chemarim was given to idolatrous Priest, either by reason of their preposterous zeall and fervency about their 〈◊〉 ; or, because they used to wear black clothes, or because they were much exercised in burning Sacrifices and Incense. 〈◊〉 .

Idolatry]

;;The worship or adoration of an Image, or of God, before, and by an Image, 1 Cor. 10. 7. Neither be Idolaters, as they were. Deut. 5. 9. Thou shalt neither 〈◊〉 to them, nor serve them.

;;2. The making of any Image or likeness of God, or of any creature in heaven or earth, for a religious end. Deut. 5. 8. Thou shalt not make to thyself any graven Image, or likeness, &c. Gal. 5. 20. Idolatry, witchcrast, &c. 1 Cor. 6. 9. All worship of false gods, and false worship of the true God, is Idolatry.

;;3. All human inventions thrust into Divine service. Deut. 12. 32. 〈◊〉 I command you, that do, put nothing thereto.

;;4. Setting the heart inordinately upon any creature, by fearing, loving, trusting in it more then in God, and above him. Thus is covetousness called Idolatry, Col. 3. 5. and Wantons make their belly their God, Phil. 3. 19. Eph. 5. 5. Here an Idolater is one addicted and bent to the service of Idols.

5. The immoderate love unto, and distrustful care for the things of the world. Col. 3. 5. And covetousness, which is Idolatry.

Idolatry]

〈◊〉 given to Idolatry, Act. 17. 16. That Athens was a City full of Images, or Idols, or Altars erected to the gods, and much given to the worship of them, appears by Pausanias, the number of the Simulachra, or 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 there, being more then in all Greece beside. Which is also affirmed by others. Dr. Ham. Annot. a.

Iealous]

;;One grieved with suspicion of dishonesty in the married yoke-fellow, with desire of revenge. Thus are men jealous, and thus also is God said to be jealous, when the marriage between him and his Church is violated and broken. Deut. 5. 9. For I the Lord thy God am a jealous God? that is, so grieved with Idolatry, that I study to revenge it.

;;2. One which seemeth to be much grieved for others, but it is out of a love to himself, for his own commodity sake. Gal. 4. 17. They are 〈◊〉 over you amiss. This he writeth of the false Apostles, who for their own gain and credit did love the Galatians. Here jealous is taken in evil part, by a Metaphor or speech borrowed from Wooers, who can abide no corrivals or companions in their love.

;;3. One which loveth others truly, not for lucre and glory to himself, but sor the benefit of the persons loved. 2 Cor. 11. 2. I am jealous over you. Thus Paul, and all godly Ministers are jealous over their flock: here jealous is taken in good part.

Jealousy]

;;Grief for suspicion of dishonesty in married Yoke-fellows, Husbands or Wives. Numb. 5. 14. If he be moved with jealousy, and be 〈◊〉 of his wife.

Jehovah]

;;An eternal self-being, one that hath his ess nce of himself, from everlasting: and is the cause of existence or being to all things and 〈◊〉 , which are of him, by him, and for him. Exod. 6. 3. 〈◊〉 by my name 〈◊〉 , was I not known to them. Act. 17. 28. Rom. 11. v. last. The eternal God 〈◊〉 his being of himself, and gave being to all creatures, promises and works. This word ( 〈◊〉 ) is 〈◊〉 to God the Son, and God the 〈◊〉 , This is one of God's chiefest 〈◊〉 : the force of it is opened, Rev. 1. 4, 8. he giveth being to his 〈◊〉 and 〈◊〉 .

This word 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 cometh of 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 , he was, and is the proper name of the only 〈◊〉 God, Exod. 15. 3. Psal. 83. 18. 〈◊〉 . 42. 8. & 48. 2. Amos 5. 8. & 9. 6. which is termed his memorial, Exod. 3. 15. Hos. 12. 5.

It signifieth,

• 1. That God hath his essence and existence of himself, Isa. 42. 35, 36, 38.
• 2. That God giveth essence and existence unto all created things, Amos 5. 8.
• 3. That God is true in his promises and threatenings, and maketh them really to be in their time, Exod. 6. 2, 3, 6, 8, 29. Ezek. 6. 13. & 7. 27. & 11. 10, 12. & 14. 7, 8. It consists of four letters, 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 , as for the most part it doth in all Languages. Thus the Persians name is 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 ; the 〈◊〉 , Alla; the Assyrians, Adad, the Egyptians, 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 or 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 ; the Grecians, 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 ; the Latins, Deus; the French, Dieu; the Spaniards, Dios; the Italians, Idio; the Germans, English, and Scots, Gott.

Hereof some yield this reason, for that the number of four is a perfect number, and so hereby the perfection of God is noted.

Others, that God is he who created all things consisting of four elements.

〈◊〉 . Biblioth. Paraphrastically it is thus rendered, The 〈◊〉 God said unto Moses, Say unto them, I who have been, and I the same now, and I the same to be, &c. or, I who am, and am to be, hath sent me 〈◊〉 you. Hence David, The Lord reigneth, (there's the time present) Psal. 97. 1. The Lord King forever and ever, Psal. 10. 16. (there's the time past) The Lord shall reign forever, (there's the time to come) Psal. 146. 10. It implies, that he is first without beginning, and the last without end.

This the ancient Hebrews had in such reverence that they abstained from pronouncing it. It was by them styled, The great name, the glorious name, the appropriated name, the name separated or unfolded, &c. And instead thereof they read 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 , 〈◊〉 .

The Septuagint render it by 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 ; the Christian Church by Lord. Buxtorf. Lexic. in 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 . It differeth from Adonai, Lord; which is God's name of his sustentation and dominion, whereas Jehovah is his name of existing and being; to which agreeth that name, Ehieh, I am, (or will be ) Exod. 3. 14. and Jehovih, Gen. 15. 2. and Jah, Exod. 15. 2. Howbeit the Greek version turneth Jehovah Lord, as well as Adonai: and the New Testament often followeth the same; as, The Lord said to my Lord, Mat. 22. 44. for that which is in Hebrew, Jehovah said unto my Lord, Psal. 110. 1. Many times they use God instead of this name Jehovah, as 2 Sam. 7. 3. comp. with 1 Chr. 17. 2. 2 King. 11. 10. comp. with 2 Chr. 23. 9. Deut. 4. 3. comp. with Matt. 4. 4. Gen. 15. 6. comp. with Rom. 4. 13. Isa. 8. 18. comp. with Heb. 2. 13. Ainsworth on Gen. 2. 4.

This name denoting his giving of being unto (that is, the performance of) his word and promises; in this respect it is said, Exod. 6. 3. By my name Jehovah was I not known unto them: for they were sustained by faith in God's Almighty power, without receiving the thing promised, Act. 7. 5. Heb. 11. 9, 10. but now their children should receive the 〈◊〉 , and so have full knowledge and experience of God's power and goodness, and of the 〈◊〉 of that his name Jehovah, which therefore they sung to his praise, upon their full deliverance from the Egyptians, Exod. 15. 3. So upon performance of further promises or judgments, he saith, They shall know him to be Jehovah, Isa. 49. 23. & 52. 6. & 60. 16. Ezek. 28. 22, 23, 24, 26. Ainsworth on Exod. 6. 3.

The force of this name the Holy Ghost openeth by, He that is, that was, and will be, or is to come, Rev. 1. 4, 8. & 4. 8. & 11. 17. & 16. 5. And the form of the Hebrew name implieth so much, Je being a sign of the time to come, 〈◊〉 he will be; Ho of the time 〈◊〉 , Hoveh he that is; and Vah of the time past, 〈◊〉 he was.

Of this the Gentiles named the greatest god, Jove, and Jupiter, that is, Jah pater, of the shorter name Jah, 〈◊〉 , 〈◊〉 . 68. 5. And Varro (the learnedest of the Romans ) thought Jove to be the God of the Jews. Ainsworth 〈◊〉 Psal. 83. 19.

;;signifieth, the Lord will see, or 〈◊〉 , to note the special providence of God in 〈◊〉 : also, here the Scripture speaketh figuratively (as it 〈◊〉 to do in all Sacramental things) because it was a sign of God's providence: so Altar is called Jehovah Nissi, Exod. 17. 15. and Jerusalem is called Jehovah Shamma.
