• ;;First, because they were servants to the Romans, whose yoke the Jews could not abide.
• ;;Secondly, because they exacted more then their due, for their own advantage.

Every Province had his several society or company of Publicans, every society his distinct Governors; in which respect it is, that 〈◊〉 is called by the Evangelist, 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 the chief Receiver of the tribute, or the chief Publican, Luk. 19. 2. And all the Provincial Governors in these several Societies, had one chief Master residing at Rome, unto whom the other subordinate Governors gave up their accounts. Of them one 〈◊〉 , for his honest managing of that office, in an honorable remembrance thereof, had certain images erected, with this superscription, 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 , for the 〈◊〉 Publican.

It is thus named in Latin, of a kind of shell-fish called Purpura, of whose blood or juice, this color or die is made: of the Greeks it is called Dibaphon, which is as much as a double tincture, or twice died, and by the Hebrews it is termed usually in Scripture, 〈◊〉 of a little worm springing out of a grain or kernel, by the blood whereof, this Purple color is said to be made.

Some take it for a wild beast, whose horn turns inward toward his head; some for a kind of Eagle; some for an Unicorn; some for a wild beast like to a Fallow-deer, or Roe-buck: but though to us it be not perfectly understood, (as the names of many living creatures, herbs, and stones are not;) yet those to whom the precept or prohibition of such things was given, had the right understanding of them (with the rule whether it were a command, or a caveat) if not in particular, yet by the general notes. Annot.

The Chaldee calleth it Rema, of highness. Ainsworth.

QUail]

Herewith the Lord fed the Israelites, lusting after flesh, and doubting that the Lord could not provide flesh for them in the Wilderness, Psal. 78. 18, 19. Exod. 16. 13. Numb. 11. 31, 32. The abundance of them was miraculous, for it is said, that God rained flesh upon them, as dust; and feathered fowls as the sand of the Seas, Psal. 78. 27. and with these they filled their greedy lusts; (feeding themselves without fear, as Jude v. 12.) though the Lord had threatened to punish them, verse. 20. Their carriage towards their young ones, is the same in effect with the Hens. To avoid the snares of the Hunters, they remove them from one place to another. They are said to lay sixteen eggs, and four times every year to bring forth young ones; twice with us, and twice in those Countries whither they go about harvest, and that their first brood breedeth before their departure; so that it is said of Hunters, that he that in the beginning of the Spring killeth one Quaile, killeth and hundred. They neither build their nests on trees, nor abide thereon, but have their abode on the ground. Though (being weighty) they cannot fly well, yet they can run very swiftly. And being to remove, the Matrix becometh a a Captain or Leader among them. So the Glottis (having a long tongue) also the Cynchramus, and Otus. They feed on Hellebore, which is poison unto others. They are very lustful, and very fearful. Whilest they fly they make a noise, especially when the South wind bloweth, whereby being moist, they are made less able to fly, at which time the Hunters do especially 〈◊〉 after them. Therefore God to show his power, even by the South wind brought a multitude of them, Psal. 73. 26, 27. Being weary through long flying, they are often caught by Mariners in their ships. Though they be fearful, yet are they earnest in fight. When the Sun and Moon rise, they utter an harsh and dismal sound, as if they were angry with both. Having drunk of a clear spring, they puddle therein with their beaks and feet, till it become muddy, and fill it with dust also, that others may not drink thereof.

Queen]

;;One full of outward pomp and earthly glory and magnificence, challenging to herself power and authority (as a Queen) Thus doth the Church of Rome, proudly boasting herself to be the Mother Church, the head of Christianity, and to have primacy over all other Churches, and many other like Thrasonical blasphemies.

To quench]

;;Either somewhat to slake the heat of the fire, or else wholly to put it out.

;;2. To lose some fruits and effects of the Spirit, and to abate the 〈◊〉 of grace; as if one should somewhat flack the heat, and lessen the light of the fire. 1 Thess. 5. 19. Quench not the Spirit. Thus the godly by their security, Quench the Spirit.

;;3. To lose wholly the grace of the Spirit, which once he had; as if one should put out fire with water. Thus the wicked by their obstinacy in sin, Quench the Spirit, as Saul and Judas did. 1 Thess. 5. 19. Quench not the Spirit. And thus a godly person can never 〈◊〉 the Spirit, for the Spirit abideth in them forever, Joh. 14. & 1 Joh. 3. The seed of God remaineth in them. Of this seed, Peter saith, it is immortal, 1 Pet. verse. last. Also Christ maketh request for believers, and is never denied, Joh. 11. 42.

4. To break, Psal. 104. 11. marg.

It's applied to a Coal, 2 Sam. 14. 7. Light, 2 Sam. 21. 17. Fire, Isa. 66. 24. Heb. 11. 34. Thirst, Psal. 104. 11. The Spirit, 1 Thess. 5. 19. Satan's fiery darts, Eph. 6. 16. God's wrath, Amos 5. 6. Smoaking flax, Matth. 12. 20.

To quench fire]

;;To stay and hinder the operation and force of the fire, that it burn not, as the three children did in Daniel, Heb. 11. 34.

To quench]

;;To put out, and overcome. Cant. 8. 7. Much water cannot quench love.

By waters and slouds are often meant asslictions, troubles, wars, persec tions, temptations, wherewith the faith, love, patience of Christ's people are exerc sed and tried, Psal. 69. 2. Isa. 8. 7, 8. & 59. 19. Dan. 9. 26. & 11. 12. So that here is signified that the love of Christ, wherewith the minds of his people are inflamed, is such, as cannot be quenched with any calamities. See Rom. 8. 35, 36, 37, 38. Ainsworth.

They are so far from quenching or abating her love, that it 〈◊〉 , and increaseth by such extinctions. As lime is hotter in water, and the Prophets miracle more glorious, 1 King. 18. 32, 33, 34, &c. So does the love which is directed upon God, get strength, and become more intense when most 〈◊〉 . Annot.

Question]

;;A demand, or asking; which when it is of things necessary to be 〈◊〉 , out of a desire to learn, it is good: otherwise, it is either vain or foolish. 2 Tim. 3. 23 Foolish questions, &c. Mat. 22. 46. It signifies contentions and quarrels about things not needful to be known, 1 Tim. 1. 4.

Also, a thing, Mar. 11. 29. marg. Word, 1 King. 10. 3. marg.

Of Questions there are several sorts; Religious, Deut. 6. 20. Blasphemous, Joh. 8. 48. Curious, Luk. 13. 23. Foolish and unlearned, 2 Tim. 2. 23. Tit. 3. 9. Hard, 1 King. 10. 2.

Question]

What question ye with them, or among yourselves, marg. Mark. 9. 16. The Original 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 is rendered in Mark 12. 28. by reasoning together, in Luk. 22. 23. by enquiring amongst themselves, in Act. 6. 9. by disputing. So Act. 9. 29. it improperly signifieth, to inquire of the truth by a familiar conference, yet so as that often what one holdeth, another denieth. Leigh. Crit. Sac.

The he questioned with him, Luk. 23. 9. 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 . The Original 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 , is rendered in Mat. 12. 10. by asking, in Mat. 16. 1. by desiring, in Mat. 22. 35. by asking a question, in Luk. 3. 14. by demanding. What questions Herod' s were, are not expressed, but not being propounded with any intent to be converted, but for his curiosity, Christ therefore would not afford an answer.

Quick]

Lively, living: Applyed to flesh, Levite. 13. 10, 24. Living persons, Psal. 55. 15. & 124. 3. The understanding, Isa. 11. 3. The Word of God, Heb. 4. 12.

Quick]

Heb. 4. 12. The Word of God is quick. Some by the Word, understand the Word written or spoken, and of the great power thereof, of which St. Paul speaks, 1 Cor. 14. 24. but with more probability, if we observe both the Antecedents and Consequents of the place, we may understand it of Christ who is called the Word, Joh. 1. 1. Rev. 19. 13. because he was to reveal the will and counsel of God his Father unto his people: (but it is likewise appliable unto the Word, written or preached,) here termed quick, living, whereby he is opposed to the Idols of the Heathen, who had eyes, and saw not; ears and heard not, &c. But Christ the Word of God is living, beholding all the thoughts and actions of men, that so he might give to every man according to his deeds, who is not only Omniscient, but full of power to execute his 〈◊〉 upon those that are disobedient. Annot.

Quick or 〈◊〉 ,

• 2. It increaseth spiritual life, 1 Pet. 2.
• 3. It directs and teacheth us the way to eternal life, Joh. 5. Leighs Annot.

To quicken]

;;To give life to the dead, Rom. 4. 17.

;;2. To put the life of grace in a soul dead in trespasses and sins; when one spiritually dead is made to live to God by the life of faith. Eph. 2. 1, 5. You hath be quickened, which were dead in trespasses and sins.

;;3. To put heart and comfort by deliverance into such as have grief and fear through great dangers. psal. 119. 149, 145. Quicken according to thy word.

4. To give life, 2 Cor. 3. 6. marg.

5. To revive and cheer up that which is dying, Psal. 119. 50.

To quicken together]

;;To conjoin and couple both elect Jews and Gentiles, in Christ their common head, by one Spirit of faith, wherein consisteth spiritual life, enabling them to live unto God, being before dead in sins. Eph. 2. 5. When we were dead in sins, he hath quickened us together in Christ.

Quickening spirit]

;;The body of the man Christ, which is called Spirit, in respect of the quality and condition which now it hath, being spiritual and most glorious; and it is termed Quickening, because it is united personally to the vivifying Word; also because by the death of his body he hath gotten life to the world, Joh. 1. 14. & 6. 5. But especially for his divine Spirit, or Divinity, which itself is life, and giveth life or quickening to all that live. See Joh. 5. 21, 26. 1 Cor. 15. 45. And the last Adm was made a quickening Spirit. As Adam is called a living soul, because of the soul, which is the best part in him, quickening and making his body to live: so Christ the latter Adam is said to be a quickening Spirit, by reason of that most excellent nature (often noted in Scripture by the Spirit) which dwelleth in him bodily, Col. 2. 9.

Quiet fruit]

;;Fruit full of tranquility and peace, Heb. 12. 11.

1 Pet. 3. 4. Unto the constituting of true meekness and quietness of spirit is requisite,

• 1. Freedom from the evils that disquiet and molest the spirits of men; (as anger, worldly sorrow, distrustsul cares, rash zeal and fierceness, inordinate striving and willfulness, contention and evil speaking, all inordinate desires, and reigning heart-sins) with inconstancy and levity of mind.
• 2. A kind of peaceable contentment.
• 3. A gentle behavior in case of wrongs or faults, from or in others (as by hearing them, not rendering evil for evil, being ready to forgive, and not provoked to anger.)
• 4. Harmless and innocent behavior.

• 6. Lowlyness of mind.
• 7. Silence from many words, from vain and rash speeches, especially provoking terms.
• 8. Retiredness.
• 9. Tractableness. Byfield on 1 Pet. 3. 4. page 613, 614.

Quiet]

Quicted myself (Hebr. my soul, marg.) Psal. 131. 2. Stilled, or made silent, refraining it from noisome lusts. Ainsworth.

When he quieteth the earth, Job 37. 18. When God takes away the storm from it, and sends heat. Or impersonally, when the earth is quieted. Annot.

Have quieted my spirit in the North Country, Zech. 6. 8. Have perfectly executed their charge, and given me satisfaction; either 〈◊〉 me in my revenge upon the the Chaldeans, for the wrong done to my people, as Isa. 1. 24. Or, so working upon my people yet remaining there, so reducing them to penitency and piety, as thereby rendering me pacified and appeased toward them; not minding utterly to cast them off, but really to be reconciled with them, and entreated by them. Annot.

Quietly]

Peaceably, 2 Sam. 3. 27. marg.

Quietness]

It's the daughter of Piety, the mother of Peace, the sister of Patience, the companion of Truth, the friend of Equity, the scholar of Humility, the nurse of Plenty, and the garden of Prosperity. It's the ornament of a Family, the honor of a City, the muniment of a Common-wealth, the staff of Policy, and the very badge of Christianity. Without it the conscience can have no comfort, the mind no content, plenty no pleasure, prosperity no prop, adversity no salve, learning can have no glory, nor any virtue can be praise-worthy, whose very name is lovely, and nature heavenly. Which as excellent, so is it of absolute necessity. It's a peaceable disposition of the whole man, not troubled, nor troublesome, abstaining from whatsoever might disturb either itself or other.

It's both inward and outward.

Outward,

• 1. Oeconomical, between the Husband and Wife, Parents and Children, Masters and Servants.
• 2. Political, between Nation and Nation.
• 3. Civil, between Magistrate and Subject, Pastor and people, Neighbor and Neighbor; being both active and passive.

Rabbi]

;;One that is above others, and instead of a number, Mat. 23. 7. Rabbi, Rabbi. A proud swelling title, wherein the Pharisees gloried very much.

;;This word [ Rabbi ] by the notation thereof, signifieth one which is instead of many, or equal to many for his excellency, whether it be one that excelleth in nobility of birth, or in virtuous and valiant exployts or acts, or in learning and knowledge: in this last signification the holy Evangelists do everywhere use it, and by interpreters it is rendered in Latin and English, Doctor, or Master. In Mat. 23. 7, 8. Christ challengeth this title as peculiar to himself, checking the ambitious Pharisees because they affected this name.

The Hebrews write, that Rabbi is a more excellent title then Rab, and Rabban more excellent then Rabbi, and the simple name without any title, as Haggi, Zachari, Malachi, was more excellent then Rabban. Goodwin p. 45.

Rabbith]

A City, Josh. 19. 20.

Rabboni]

Master. Thus Christ called, Joh. 20. 16.

Race]

;;The course of Christianity and godliness. Heb. 12. 1. Let us run the race.

Also, the course that one runneth, 1 Cor. 9. 24.

Race]

Heb. 12. 1. Let us run the race that is set before us. This race is the course itself wherein we strive by running; for in the Greek it is 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 a strife-race whereby is signified, all kind of strife in this manner, whether it be by running, wrestling, hurling, or any other way but here he speaks of running. To run the race, is to strive by runnig, he means especially the strife of our faith, 1 Tim. 6. 12. see 2 Tim. 4. 7. Leighs Annot.

Racha]

;;Some imperfect or broken speech, bewraying an angry and festered mind, as Pish in our english tongue. Mat. 5. 22. Whosoever shall say to his brother, Racha. Howsoever some fetch Racha from the Hebrew word Rach, which signifies to spit; and others from Ric, which is in English light-headed, or empty, upon whom we care not to spit, or to use some light gesture before him in contempt; yet the best exposition is to interpret it of some imperfect and unseemly gesture and behavior, which may be in the countenance, or mouth, by mowes, or words, as Tush, Fie; or in making an unseemly noise, Eph. 4. 13. or in scoffing, Gal. 4. 29.

One by comparing together, Judge. 9. 4. 2 Sam. 6. 20. 2 Chr. 13. 7. Prov. 12. 11. yieldeth this Hebrew emphasis of the word 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 , namely, that He is one of that kind of Knaves who wholly spend their time in idleness, choosing and desiring the exercise of war, or such kind of life, that they may whore, spoil, kill; who in public are ashamed of no baseness but go on unto the utmost degree of rashness, who will do anything for money, being void of faith and honesty, unworthy of the familiarity and society of honest men, notoriously wicked, of whom there is no hope of amendment, at the mentioning of whom, honest men should spit. So 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 signifieth Glass. Philol. sac. p. 299, 300.

Racha]

Mat. 5. 22. 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 is an Hebr. word, and signifies vain or empty, and being applied to any man, is a word of 〈◊〉 , calling him empty, despicable, witless fellow. This is here forbidden by Christ, and (as an unsupportable wound to another's reputation, which is generally prized next to life, often preferred before it) is by him thought fit to be superadded to the old Command of not killing. And this is an elevation of Christ's doctrine about the Heathen theology, which gives leave to reproach and counsels to 〈◊〉 words. Dr. Ham. Annot. l.

Rachab, or 〈◊〉 ]

Mat. 1. 5. That Rachab was the Wife of Salmon, and Mother of boaz, is not set down in the Old Testament, nor mentioned in the genealogy in St. Luke, but recited by this Evangelist, either out of the Cabala or Tradition, or else from some other written Author of sufficient credit among the Jews, as the names of Jannes and Jambres, 2 Tim. 3. 8. and some others appear to have been. Dr. Ham. Annot. c.

Rachal]

Rachel]

A sheep. The Daughter of Laban, whom he gave Jacob to Wife, Gen. 29. 10, 28. The Benjamitish woman who came of Rachel, Jer. 31. 15. Mat. 2. 18. Rachel weeping for her children, namely led away in to captivity, as making account never to see them, or to have them delivered again, or by the appointment of Herod most barbarously slaughtered. Both the Prophet and Evangelist do hereby imply, what Rachel in likelihood would have done had she survived at either of those calamities, which those of her issue sustained. Annot.

Raddai]

Ruling, or coming down. The Son of Jesse, 1 Chr. 2. 14.

Rafter]

That which beareth up the roof, or galleries, Cant. 1. 17. marg.

This is spoken of the enemies of the Church, Psal. 2. 1. Of the Israelites, with relation unto the Jews, 2 Chron. 28. 9. and as of those and other persons. So of Chariots, Jer. 46. 9. Nah. 2. 4. Sea, Psal. 89. 9. 〈◊〉 1. 15. The water, Luk. 8. 24. Strong drink, Prov. 20. 1.

Ragged Rocks]

Isa. 2. 21. The word ragged is not in the Original, nor is it included in the term here used, which signifies any rock in general, Numb. 20. 8. Psal. 42. 2. Annot.

Rags]

1. Old, worn, cast clouts or clothes, whether linen or woollen, Jer. 38. 11.

2. Extreme poverty, or beggary, Prov. 23. 21.

3. Mans righteousness, Isa. 64. 6.

Rags]

As fillby rags, Isa. 64. 6. Concerning the notion of the word here used, and not elsewhere read; as also concerning the notation of it, there is great variety of opinions, even among the Jewish Critics themselves. Some of them render it, a coat of patches, or rags, a Beggers coat made up of rags of old cloth, worn out, and cast away, from a Chaldee. word that so signifies. Others, a garment defiled with blood, from a word that signifies prey or spoil. Gen. 49. 27. For, that garments so taken from ravenous beasts, or by men in sight, are usually such, Gen. 37. 31, 33. chap 9. 5. See Lam. 4. 14, 15. Others a clout of sores; a clour, or rag, pulled off from some matury sore, from a Chaldee. word so signifying, Lev. 13. 2. Others, the cloth or sheet, mentioned, Deut. 22. 15, 17. from a term that imports testimony. Others, a birth-clout, or cloth used about child-birth, from a Chaldee. word signifying to bear, or to be with-child. Others lastly, a cloth or cloth of separations, a menstruous cloth or clout, as coming from a word that signifies both in Hebrew and Chaldee. as before to put away, or to remove and separate, Prov. 25. 20. Dan. 2. 21. and as having affinity with another word of that notion, Ezek. 7. 19, 20. & 36. 17. and this most pitch upon; The old Latin among others, and our oldest English. Nor is the Greek deemed to intend other, when it rendereth it of a sitting woman, being supposed to have an eye to that of Rachel, Gen. 31. 34, 35. Nor the Chaldee. who rendereth it an 〈◊〉 thing in general; but hath a word in particular designing this, derived from it. And to some such Ioathsome and nasty stuff in all likelihood, doth the Prophet compare the most righteous among the main multitude of his peeople. See ch. 30. 22. Lam. 1. 17. Annot.

Raguel]

The shepherd of God, a friend of God, or the breaking asunder of God. The Father of Hobah, Numb. 10. 29.

Rahab]

Proud, strong, broad, enlarged; or, a street. The Mother of Booz, Mat. 1. 5. Egypt, Psal. 89. 10. marg. So called (as most think) from the pride and strength thereof, which the word Rahab signifieth. See Rachab.

Raham]

Mercy or compassion,; or, after the Syrian, a friend. The Son of Shema, 1 Chr. 2. 44.

Rail]

To fly upon, 1 Sam. 25. 14. marg. The word 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 , in Mar. 15. 29. & Luk. 23. 39. is in 1 Cor. 4. 13. rendered to desame; and in Jude v. 8. to speak evil of; and in Rom. 3. 8. wrongfully blame, 〈◊〉 to report of. The word 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 (whence 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 , a 〈◊〉 , 1 Cor. 5. 11.) is to rise in a man's 〈◊〉 with many bitter words; to revile, 1 Per. 2. 23. Of 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 people, & 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 , to beat; or, 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 ; whose speeches wound as a spear.

Railer]

;;An evil speaker, which upbraideth others with their true faults, in a reproachful manner; or else casteth upon them false crimes to defame them. 1 Cor. 6. 10. Extortioners, Railers.

Railer]

Or a Railer, 1 Cor. 5. 11. That 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 signifies a railer or 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 speaker, there is no doubt; but that it signifies reproachful actions as well as words, there is as little question; and therefore Hesychius that renders it 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 in reference to words renders it 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 , a 〈◊〉 person, it may be in respect of actions also. And then it may be here another notation of the Heathen Gnostics sins of uncleanness, which in all languages have been civilly expressed by words that note contumely, or reproach. If this be not it, it may then, according to the ordinary use of the word for reproachful speeches, refer to the uncharitableness of the Gnostics, in accusing the Christians, and so stirring up persecutions against them. Dr. Hamm. Annot. 〈◊〉 .

Raiment, or clothing]

To rain]

;;To pour down water plentifully out of the clouds, to refresh the earth withal, Deut. 28. 12.

;;2. To give plentifully. Psal. 78. 24. He rained down Manna. Vers. 27. He rained down flesh; that is, he gave it liberally, like rain.

That it rain not in the days of their prophesy, Rev. 11. 6. An allusion unto 1 King. 17. 1. Luk. 4. 25. Jam. 5. 17. 18. It may be understood of restraining the rain: or, spiritually, of shutting men out of heaven, Mat. 16. 19. Joh. 20. 23. Annot.

This God hath decreed, Job 28. 26. prepareth, Psal. 147. 8. giveth, Job 5. 10. Isa. 30. 23. and upon occasion withholdeth, Amos 4. 7. It's also given both in mercy, Psal. 68. 9. and in judgment, Prov. 28. 3. Ezek. 38. 22. Ezr. 10. 9.

It's spoken of Bread, Exod. 16. 4. God's fury, Job 20. 23. Snares, Psal. 11. 6. Righteousness, Hos. 10. 12. Brimstone and fire. Gen. 19. 24. Hail, Exod. 9. 22. Manna, Psal. 78. 24. Flesh, lb. 27.

Twice in a year there fell store of rain in Israel, in the beginning of the year, about September or October; and half a year after, which was in Abib, or March, which Ecclesiastically began the year unto Israel, whereupon it is called the lattr rain in the first month, Joel 2. 23. The first rain fell after the sowing of their corn, that it might take rooting in the earth: the latter rain was a little before harvest, that the ear might be full. Ainsworth. on Deut. 11. 14. See Hos. 6. 3. Zech. 10. 1. Jer. 5. 24.

Rain is over, or is changed, that is, past away, and fair weather come in the place. Rain in winter is an hindrance of travel, or going abroad, Ezr. 10. 9, 13. This (with the former winter is past ) may be applied to outward troubles and grievances in this life by the malice of the world, as when Israel was in the bondage or Egypt and of Babylon, and after were released; likewise to the spritual winter rain and rage of Antichrist, after which the graces and fruits of the Gospel began to flourish again. May also signify the afflictions of soul, wherein fears land sorrows are stirred up like tempests by the wrath of God, caused by sin, discovered and stirred up by the law, Rom. 3. 20. & 4. 15. & 7. 5, 8, 23, 24. All which by Christ's coming are done away, Rom. 7. 25. See Isa. 32. 2. Rom. 5. 1. Isa. 4. 6. Rev. 7. 16, 17. Ainsworth.

Or, the storms, for the Hebrew word signifies a great rain, which are usual in Winter: These God showreth down upon the wicked, Ezek. 38. 22. and sometimes his own people are beaten with them, but they shall not continue upon them. There is a bow in the cloud, so that it shall not overwhelm them; his Ark shall get above the waters, and be preserved from the wind and tempest, Isa. 32. 2. Annot.

called a Bow for the likeness, and Rain-bow, because it is in the cloud in the day of rain; and God's bow, for the wonderfulness thereof, and for the Sacramental sign by his special ordinance; which therefore the Heathen Poets called Thaumantias, as being the work of the wonderful God. Ainsworth. on Gen. 9. 13.

Rain-bow upon his head]

;;That Testimony or Sacrament which was between God and Man, of his Covenant touching the destroying of the world by water. Whereas Christ had his Rain-bow 〈◊〉 this head, it serveth to testify not only his fidelity in keeping promise, but his mercy also toward his faithful Servants, in chasing away storms, and clearing the boisterous sky, making calm, and giving rest after heavy times, and tempestuous. Rev. 10. 1. And a rainbow upon his head.

A sign of reconciliation, an assurance that he will remember his Covenant. Gen. 9. 15. See chap. 4. 3. Where in the description of Christ's sitting in his throne, there's mention made of the Rain-bow, that we may acknowledge that the throne of Christ is compassed with mercy, and that he shows in his countenance, when he manifests himself to his. The Rain-bow is a sign of God's Covenant of Grace and mercy toward his Church, which is always fresh and green. Leighs Annot.

There is no beast that so much participateth with the nature of the Sun, for from the autumnal equinox unto the vernal, as the Sun keepeth the right hand of the Hemisphere, so doth the Ram lie upon the right side; and in the Summer season, as the Sun keepeth the other hand of the Hemisphere, so doth the Ram lie upon his other side. It was reckoned among the clean beasts, and appointed to be used for a Sacrifice, Exod. 29. 15, 16, &c. Lev. 5. 15, &c. Numb. 5. 8. Hereunto the 〈◊〉 Empire is compared, Dan. 8. 3.

Who gave himself a ransom for us all. By a Synedoche the Scripture called this Ransom, the death, blood, and oblation of Christ, because in his sacrifice and bloodshed on the Cross, was the accomplishment of his obedience and satisfaction for us, sithence without shedding of blood there is no forgivnesse of sin, Heb. 9. 22.

;;2. A fierce and cruel enemy, which destroys and cuts down all, as a sharp Rasor shaves and cuts all bare. Isa. 7. 20. In that day the Lord shall shave with a Rasor, &c. This is meant by the King of Assyria, by whom God would plague Judah, as it is expounded in that Text.

;;Some think this Rasor to have been Tiglath-pileser, who afflicted Abaz by denying help to him, 2 Chr. 28. 20. 21. Some refer this to many Kings, who one after another afflicted the men of Judah, as Sennacherib under Hezekiah, Esar-haddon under Manasseh, 2 King. 18. 19. 2 Chr. 33. Others, as Piscator, will have this calamity here threatened, to have been inflicted by 〈◊〉 , who (like a sharp Rasor) cut very deep, leaving nothing in the whole Kingdom without hurt; with his huge Army overrunning all, destroying King Joakim and Jehojakin, carrying away most precious 〈◊〉 , and a number of Captives into Babylon; taking in the City under Zedekiah, whose eyes they put out, and having fettered him in bands of steel, led him away to Babylon, killing his children, burning the Temple and City, &c. as it is declared in 2 King. 24. & 25.

Raven]

An unclean fowl, Lev. 11. 15. which usually hath its abode in desert places Isa. 34. 11. for whom God provided food, Job. 38. 41. As for its young ones, whom it bringeth forth, Psal. 147. 6. Who being sent forth by Noah out of the Ark, returned no more, Gen. 8. 7. It's in color black, Cant. 5. 11. It's at perpetual variance with the Kite, or Glead. When its young ones are able to fly, it driveth them out of the nest, to shift for themselves elsewhere. Though of a ravening nature, yet at God's command it fed Elijah, 1 King. 17. 4, 6. It was of old consecrated to the Sun, as which by its heat maketh men's bodies black, or tawny. It feedeth on carrion, stealeth away things, and hideth them and can imitate any man's voice. It's very cunning, as by putting 〈◊〉 stones into a vessel wherein some water is, that by degrees it may ascend; By flying on high with an oyster, or shell-fish, and letting the same fall upon a rock or stone, &c. may appear. They love 〈◊〉 grounds, not barren, and may be termed, Purgers of lands, as by whom the worms are devoured. In the Summer they are very thirsty, yet being against their health, they abstain therefrom for divers days together. Their 〈◊〉 is said to be a sign. of rain.

Two or three Colliers going to work, a Crow having snatched somewhat from one of them, the others went on, and were smothered in the pit, before their fellows return from the pursuit of the Raven.

Ravenous]

Nor any ravenous beast, Isa. 35. 5. Heb. a ravenous of beasts. The word signifieth a burgler, one that breaketh into houses to rob and spoil or murder and mischief, Ezek. 7. 22. & 18. 10. Hos. 4. 2. Mic. 2. 13. More 〈◊〉 rendered robbers, Jer. 7. 11. alluded, to, Joh. 10. 1, 8, 10. here used for any ravenous creature: such among wild beasts as these are among men; ravenous, or ravener (for the word is 〈◊〉 ) 〈◊〉 beasts, that is not one that in a 〈◊〉 , 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 and spoil of other beasts (though such commonly so do) but one among beasts that is so qualified, or so practiseth; as choice of Firs and Cedars, is not the choice that others make of Cedars, but the choice ones among them, ch. 37. 24. Jer. 22. 7. Annot.

Calling a ravenous bird from the East, Isa. 46. 11. Cyrus from Persia, lying to the East of Babylon, ch. 41. 2, 25. who should come swiftly and 〈◊〉 upon Babylon, as an Eagle or Vulture upon his prey, Job 9. 26. By either of which also Cyrus might be resembled, in regard of his hooked nose like an Eagles or Vultures beak; which was in him so notable, that it brought men so marked in much repute among the Persians. Annot.

To ravin]

Applyed to the enemies of David and Christ, Psal. 22. 13. to false Prophets, Ezek. 22. 27. Mat. 7. 15. to the Scribes and Pharisees, Luk. 11. 39. who herein were as Lions and Wolves, who were properly said to ravin, Ezek. 22. 25. Mat. 7. 15. Gen. 49. 27. as who tear their prey, the Lion filling his den therewith, Neh. 2. 12.

Ravin]

Spoyl, Neh. 2. 12.

Ravish]

To force; which may be understood both spiritually, Cant. 4. 9. Thou hast ravished my heart, or taken away my heart, marg. and corporally; in a good sense, when one is taken with the love of his Wife. Prov. 5. 19. And be thou ravished always with her love. Heb, Err thou always in her love, marg. In a bad, when one lusting after a Woman, forcibly deflowreth her, Prov. 5. 20. Lam. 5. 11.

To be ravished in the Spirit]

;;To be moved and led by a sweet holy motion of the Spirit, to see and understand hidden things, far exceeding human capacity and wit. Rev. 1. 10. I was ravished in the Spirit on the Lord's day. Thus the ancient Prophets, thus Paul, 2 Cor. 12. were made fit and capable of heavenly visions, even as John is here, having the Spirit for his guide and teacher.

I was in the Spirit]

In a spiritual rapture and 〈◊〉 . Ezek. 3. 12. Act. 10. 10. & 22. 17. 2 Cor. 12. 2, 3. By the Spirit of God taken off from the sense and regard of outward things, that I might wholly attend the vision ensuing. Annot. The word ravished is not in the last Translation, but in the Geneva.

Raw, not sodden, 1 Sam. 2. 15.

Reach]

To shoot through, Exod. 26. 28. Of this word, the bar here mentioned hath the name in Hebrew, which signifieth flying, to speedy passing through. Ainsworth.

To be, Exod. 28. 42. marg.

By the words annexed hereunto the meaning may be known.

Her sins have reached to heaven]

Rev. 18. 5. Gr. followed. They were as it were one laid upon another, to make a mount to reach up to heaven, and cry for vengeance, Gen. 18. 20, 21. & 19. 13. Ezr. 9. 6. Jonah 1. 2. Jer. 51. 9. The least sins reach to heaven: God knoweth them all: but the phrase is commonly used of great sins, that will pull down sudden judgment. God is compared to a patient man, who passeth by many smaller faults, in his servants, without taking notice, as not being willing to punish them, which he should do, if he took notice of them; yet when some great fault is committed, then he calleth his servant to account for it, and punisheth him. Annot.

To read]

;;To recite distinctly the syllables and words of Scripture. Reading is nothing else, but such a recital and speaking forth the letters and syllables. Luk. 4. 6. He took the book and read. Act. 15. 21. Moses in every Synagogue hath such as read him. 1 Tim. 4. 13. Attend to reading. Reading is not the Word of God, but an action about it: neither is it Preaching in the proper acception.

There's private reading, being lawful for all; The Prince, Deut. 17. 19. The people, Eph. 3. 4. Strangers, Act. 8. 28. There's also public reading, which was sometime by the Prince, Josh. 8. 34, 35. 2 King. 23. 2. 2 〈◊〉 . 34. 30. but commonly by Ecclesiastical persons, Neh. 8. 3, 8, 18 & 9. 3. & 13. 1. Col. 4. 16. 1 Thess. 5. 27.

Readinesse]

〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 , Act. 17. 11. & 2 Cor. 8. 11. but in v. 12. it's rendered a willing mind, & v. 19. a ready mind, & ch. 9. 2. frowardness.

2. Neer at hand, 1 Pet. 1. 5. & 4. 5.

3. Ably furnished, 1 Pet. 3. 15.

Ready to be delivered]

;;One being in travel near unto child birth. Rev. 12. 1. And was pained ready to be delivered. Some expound this both of the Virgin Mary (that blessed woman the mother of Christ:) and also of the Church of the Jews, who by their vehement and servant desire and expectation of the Messiah, were after a sort in pain and travel to bring him forth. This is a godly sense; but because in ch. 4. 1. John shows, that not things past before, but things to be done after, were the subject of this Prophesy, from ch. 3. forward: therefore their exposition is more fit, who interpret it of the Christian Church laboring and groaning under the cruelty of Heathenish persecutors, being pained with grief, to see someone of her children, which might be a defender of her against such injuries. And this happened when 〈◊〉 the Great reigned and put an end (at least a good stop) to the bloody proceeding of the Roman Emperors.

Ready to die]

;;Such as through weakness and sinful infirmities, are likely and near ( 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 and diligent looking to) to fall into the destruction of death. Rev. 3. 2. Strengthen the things that are ready to die.

To make ready]

Which is your reasonable service of God.

Reasonable or ration all service]

Rom. It may possibly be such as will be agreeable to the notion of 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 the 〈◊〉 , as it signifies Christ, and then it's the Christian 〈◊〉 . It may be as 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 signifies the 〈◊〉 or Scripture, and then it will be that worship which is perscribed us in the Scripture; and so the Syr. seems to understand it, setting down for 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 , secundum 〈◊〉 verbi according to the 〈◊〉 of the Word, i. e. such as the Word prescribes. It may be as 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 〈◊〉 , is opposed to 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 Law, and then it will be the Evangelical worship. And once more it may note such a worship of God as is most agreeable to reason, and such as a rational man will resolve to be most agreeable to so excellent and pure a Deity. But the circumstances of the place, and opposition to the sacrifices of the Law, the beasts that were offered there, seem to restrain it to the vulgar and ordinary notion of 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 , rational, in opposition to the irrational sacrifices under the law, as 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 , living before to the dead bodies among them. Dr. Ham. Annot. a.

Eph. 5. 11.

Rebuker]

Or, this they did, though I did rebuke them by my Prophets, and labor their amendment, which takes away all excuse from them, and aggravates their crime; yet some would make the meaning this, And I have been rebuked of them all, like that, chap. 4. 4. & Lam. 3. 13. & Psal. 22. 6, 7. & 44. 14.
