It's said that their flesh moderately eaten doth burden the stomach, but being eat in great measure, comforts the same.

• 3. To instruct and accustom, Prov. 22. 6. Genes. 14. 14.

• 2. To destroy, Isa. 63. 3.
• 3. To contemn and despise, Mat. 7. 6.

Trance]

The Greek word 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 signifieth a falling from the sormer estate and condition. Hence Synecdochically, being referred to the mind, it 〈◊〉 that consternation and astonishment that happeneth unto it, when it is led out of itself from sensible things, to the contemplation of spiritual. It is a kind of revelation whereby God revealeth himself to his servants; and it is twofold.

• 1. A divine trance, when the servants of God were taken up in spirit separate as it were from the body, and out of the body, that they might see some heavenly mysteries revealed unto them. Peter was in such a trance, Act. 10. 10. & 11. 5. and Paul, Act. 22. 17. John was in a higher trance, when he was taken up in the spirit on the Lord's day, and saw so many heavenly visions of those things that should befall the Church afterwards, Rev. 4. 2. but Paul was in the highest of all, when he was taken up into the third heaven, 2 Cor. 12. 1, 2.
• 2. Diabolical, which is that trance of Witches and Sorcerers, when they lie dead and senseless for a time, and their souls seem to be out of their body, 〈◊〉 the union betwixt the soul and the body is not dissolved, as they believe, but the act of vivification only is suspended only for a time. 〈◊〉 4. deg. Sons, p. 72, 73.

Trance]

He fell into a trance, Act. 10. 10. The word 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 in the Gr. is 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 , which signifies either, 1. deep sleep (and a trance of the nature of that) or 2. 〈◊〉 , astonishment, and accordingly is by the Septuagint rendered sometime 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 , as Psal. 68. 29 and 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 , 1 Sam. 26. 12. and sometime 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 , as Gen. 2. 21. where it is (though we render it a deep sleep ) of the same kind with that here, a trance or ecstacy, and therefore is rendered in the 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 , a strong sleep, signifying or intimating it to be something more then that 〈◊〉 which is ordinary among men. Proportionably to 〈◊〉 acceptions of the Hebrew, the word 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 in the New Testament signifies sometime amazement and astonishment, from 〈◊〉 or wonder, Mark 5. 42. & 16. 8. Luk. 5. 26. Act. 3. 10. and sometimes a trance or ecstacy, when the outward senses being 〈◊〉 up as it were with sleep, God's will is inwardly revealed to the understanding, by way of intellectual vision. Thus is it in all the other places of the New Testament, ch. 11. 5. & 22. 17. Dr. Ham. Annot. c.

Translated]

;;Taken away from the conversation of men, without sense of death, removed whole into heaven, as Enoch and Elias were. Heb. 11. 5. By faith 〈◊〉 was translated. Gen. 5. 24. God took him. Which phrase, though it be sometime applied to the reception of the soul, as Ezek. 24. 16. Jonas 4. 3. yet it is fitted in Scripture to the assumption of the whole man from hence to heaven. I see no more absurdity why the bodies of some may not be received into heaven before Christ, then the souls of all the Saints which departed before his death. For whereas Christ is called the first fruits of them that sleep, It will not prove that Christ did first of all other in body ascend to heaven, but that his resurrection is the cause of ours to eternal life; as the blessing and use of the residue of fruits did depend upon the benediction of the first fruits. That place in the Hebrews will only teach this, that by his flesh crucified, he merited and purchased the opening of heaven to all that ever entered; not that his body came there before all other bodies. Sure it is, that both 〈◊〉 and Elias were alive in Mount Tabor, the translating of whose bodies was a comfortable pledge to all the holy Fathers, of the fature resurrection of all the faithful. It their bodies which rose at the resurrection of Christ were taken up into heaven before his own Ascension, Why not those of Enoch, Elias, and Moses?

Translation]

Heb. 11. 5. bis taking 〈◊〉 , D. Transl.

Translated]

;;To covet and long to be eased of that most heavy and grievous condition wherein the Church should continue under Heathenish Emperors; even as a woman that is in travail desireth to be eased of her pain. Rev. 12. 2. And cried travailing in birth. Some refer this to the longing and expectation of the Church of the Jews vehemently desiring and expecting to see the promised Messiah: but St. John 〈◊〉 prophesied of things to come, as ch. 4. 1. is signified to us plainly. Therefore the former interpretation seemeth to be better.

The pangs and torments, by reason of which the women in travail cried, were those grievous persecutions which the primitive Church suffered in bringing forth; for it is 〈◊〉 , that tribulations and adversity are likened to the sorrows of child bearing, Isa. 66. 7.

See Dan. 9. 26. both Temple and City possessed by the enemies. They shall banish Religion out of those places, where it was visibly professed before; or; they shall exercise their false Religion there.

Tremble]

Deut. 20. 3. Heb. make haste, marg.

Trembling]

Zech. 12. 2. or 〈◊〉 , or poison, marg.

Fear and trembling]

;;Not that perplexed fear and horror of damnation, which wicked men have; but the awe of sinning against God, and reverend dread of his Majesty, which holdeth the godly always conversant in good works, till they come to the end of their race, and attain the goal of salvation. Phil. 2. 12. Work out (or make an end of) your salvation, with fear and with trembling.

;;Hence there is no help at all for the Papists, against the infallible certainty of Salvation by faith, which doth well admit (as companion and a fruit) a godly fear and trembling at sin, (a fearing of humility:) but quite shutteth out that servile fear of being damned, (a fear of distrust.) See 1 Joh. 4. 1. Perfect love casts out fear.

Fear and trembling, according to the use of Scripture, signify nothing else but humility and modesty of mind; nor are these words joined together ever found in any other sense, which will appear in five places, where only they are found; as,

• I. Psal. 2. 11. where we are bid, Rejoice in God with trembling: the word signifieth, to leap for joy, whereunto fear is an enemy, being not without care and anxiety of mind, but humility and modesty of mind agree well with this Joy.
• II. 1 Cor. 2. 3. Paul was among the Corinthians in great weakness, with fear and trembling; yet he had no cause to tremble in respect of the Corinthians, from whom he feared nothing, but only compared his humility and meekness, with the pride of the false Apostles.
• III. Ephes. 6. 5. where obedience with fear and trembling is recommended to Servants, who are not to serve with a slavish fear, doing nothing but by compulsion, but to serve them humbly and uprightly, in simplicity of heart.
• IV. Phil. 2. 13. where we are to work out our salvation with fear and trembling; that is, with all humility, not with a doubtful fear, the words going before, and following after, confirm it; he had said before that Christ, notwithstanding the excellency of his gifts, yet took upon him the 〈◊〉 a Servant, humbling himself unto the death of the Cross, and having run his course, obtained the crown: So should we work out our salvation with fear and trembling; now these cannot stick together, if fear and trembling be anything else then humility, the words following evidence the same: for it is said, God worketh in us both to will and to do; which being so, there is no cause of doubtful fear, but great cause of humility.
• V. Rom. 11. 20. the Apostle opposeth trembling to 〈◊〉 , but there is no reason why fear (properly so called) should be opposed to pride, seeing nothing is so proud as the Devil and 〈◊〉 men, and yet nothing more fearful. Cameron tom. 2. p. 101, 102, 103.

Trench]

Trespass]

;;2. Any sin or offense, either against God or man. 〈◊〉 . 16. 15. Neither will your Father forgive you your trespasses.

;;This word [ trespass ] according to the Hebrew word; signifieth seditions, iniquities, defections done purposely and disloyally, and therefore be heinous and criminal; it is more then sin, as may be gathered by Gen. 31. 36. Exod. 34. 7. & Job 34. 37. He addeth trespass to sin, Psal. 5. 10.

Trespass]

The Greek word 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 , signifieth properly, the very act of falling.

If thy Brother shall trespass against thee, Mat. 18. 15. The Original 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 , signifieth, to err from the prefixed mark. So the Hebr. word chata signifieth a missing of a mark one should aim at. Hereby properly any sin is signified, whether against God or our neighbor, and that which way soever committed, whether by force or fraud, in word or in deed, publicly or privately, wittingly or unwittingly. Leigh Crit. Sac.

Trespass-money]

2 King. 12. 16. Such as was for satisfaction of wrong done, Lev. 5. 15. Annot.

Trespass-offering]

was a sacrifice for sins of Omission or Ignorance, Lev. 5. 15.

The Hebrew word signifieth, blindfolded with a cloak: these sins the Apostle calls 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 , errors done of ignorance. Heb. 9. 7.

This Sacrifice was offered for sins done of Ignorance, but not for sins done ignorantly; between which this is the difference, sins of ignorance proceeded merely of ignorance; sins done ignoran lie, were such, as whereof ignorance was not the cause of them, as when one in drunkenness killeth a man, he doth it ignorantly, but not of ignorance, because he was willfully drunk, which drew on his ignorance; here his drunkenness and ignorance were joined together, as the cause and the effect.

Trial]

The trial, Job 9. 23. Those afflictions that should but try good men, Gen. 22. 1. but do indeed destroy them with the wicked; or, the melting away, that is, their destruction, as it is called, verse. 22. and slaying in this verse, for things melted perish. Annot. The Original 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 thus rendered in 2 Cor. 8. 2. is in Rom. 5. 4. rendered experience, in 2 Cor. 2. 9. proof, in 2 Cor. 9. 13. experiment.

Trial of faith]

;;Afflictions which are sent of God, for trial and proof of our faith, as gold is tried in fire. 1 Pet. 1. 7. The 〈◊〉 of your saith being much more 〈◊〉 then gold. Job 23. 10.

Fiery trial]

;;Most sharp, bitter, and grievous afflictions. 1 Pet. 14. 12. Think it not strange concerning the fiery trial.

Tribe]

;;Either strictly one of the twelve Tribes of 〈◊〉 , Mat. 19. 28. Luk. 2. 36. Act 13. 31. Phil. 3. 5. and 〈◊〉 often: or more largely for all people dispersed in divers parts under heaven, as the Israelites were distributed into twelve Tribes, Rev. 7. 11. & 14. 6. & Mat. 24. 30. and often elsewhere.

Tribes]

;;The posterity of the twelve Sons of 〈◊〉 , Psal. 78. 55. These were called [ Tribes ] after the 〈◊〉 name, where at first the whole multitude was divided into three parts, thereof called Tribes: but the Hebrew name signifies staves, or rods, as growing out of one stock or tree: and these Tribes were 12. Numb. 13. 3, 5, 16.

Tribes]

Any of the Tribes of Israel, 2 Sam. 7. 7. in 1 Chr. 17. 9. Any of the Judges of Israel.

Twelve Tribes of Israel]

;;The heads and authors of the 〈◊〉 Tribes and kindreds which came of Israel, Gen. 49. 28. Also Gen. 35. 22. & 49. 16.

And there were sealed, &c. of all the Tribes of the children of Israel, &c. Rev. 7. 4. Some understand this of all the faithful in general, the whole Israel of God, Gal. 6. 16. all that belong to salvation, Act. 13. 48. and that are to be delivered from eternal destruction, 1 Thess. 1. 10. as those in Egypt from the sword of the destroying Angel, Exod. 12. 7, 13. Heb. 11. 20. and so these should be the same with those mentioned, 〈◊〉 . 9.

Others, of such faithful only as were by a special providence to be preserved in those times of public concussion and calamity, said therefore by a solemn sign to be marked out and sealed, which the other multitude living in other aftertimes, needed not, nor is affirmed of them, verse. 9.

Again, others understand it of Jews, or Israelites by natural descent; but some such as are hereafter to be converted, Rom. 11. 26.

Others, Of those of that Nation, who retained the Christian profession (as many no doubt did) even in those times, Rom. 11. 1, 2. Act. 2. 41, 47. & 44. & 21. 20. who yet are here reckoned by a definite number, though put for an indefinite; as numerable in comparison of the Gentile converts, which are said to be innumerable, verse. 9. and are sorred out according to the number of their Tribes, to show, that no faithful, of what rank or sort soever, were excluded from having part in this privilege. Of such sure, whether Jews by birth, or others, it must be understood, as were to live in the times of the terrible trumpets ensuing, for whose security and indemnity, this stay was made of their sounding upon the seventh Seal opened, Chap. 8. 1, 2, 6. 〈◊〉 .

The people of Israel was no Church long before; the Gentile Church is called Israel, because they were graffed instead of the Jews that were broken off. That a greater number of the Gentiles shall be saved, then of the Jews, is truly gathered out of this place. But that the elect of the Jews are in a certain number, because their number is set down, and the other of the Gentiles is not, is 〈◊〉 then the Scripture doth warrant. In the enumeration of the 〈◊〉 there is no respect had of Order, to show that there is no regard had by God of 〈◊〉 privileges in the matter of salvation. This ought to be taken as an indefinite number, as well as the 7000 which had not bowed the knee to Baal. The holy Ghost is not content to have named the total sum of them that were sealed in Israel, but also divideth it into 〈◊〉 times twelve thousand, distributed by equal 〈◊〉 among the twelve 〈◊〉 , everyone of which is mentioned the one after the other, with the expression of its particular number: This 〈◊〉 that the number of the Elect, and multitude of Believers, are measured by certain proportions, which 〈◊〉 known to him which is the Author. 〈◊〉 Annot.

Here the Catholic Church of the 〈◊〉 , to be fenced with the seal of God, is 〈◊〉 by the type of Israel, the twelve Apostles of that, aptly answering to so many Patriarchs of this: because the Church, which even from the first rejection of the Jews, hitherto was gathered out of the 〈◊〉 , succeeded in the 〈◊〉 of Israel, and was, as I may so call it, 〈◊〉 Israel, and in that place for a little while so to be 〈◊〉 by God, until his old people again obtaining mercy, the fullness of the Gentiles should come in, namely, those mentioned verse. 9. Dan and 〈◊〉 , being Ring-leaders and Captains of the 〈◊〉 Apostasy, were altogether unfit to represent the profession of pure Religion, but that notwithstanding the number of twelve may be filled, 〈◊〉 is set for Dan, and the name of Joseph 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 . Mede.

The Saints of God are particularly known to him, he 〈◊〉 us in his Register, so that he cannot forget us. The persons sealed are partly Jews, and partly 〈◊〉 . Those are numbered first, because they were first in the Covenant. Of all ranks of people God hath his own; And though the Elect are many, yet the Reprobate 〈◊〉 many more, for what is an 144000, in respect of all the thousands of Israel? The Tribes are not here reckoned in order as elsewhere, (but the sons of the Wives and Hand-maids are intermingsed without regard of birth-right) to show, that though prerogatives of flesh and blood are respected on earth, yet are they not so in in heaven. Gal. 3. 28. (Col. 3. 11.) Cowper.

Gold tried in the fire]

Rev. 3. 18. Spiritual grace, able to endure the trial of God's Word and Spirit, Jer. 23. 29. 1 Cor. 3. 13. Or, the fiery trial of affliction. Psal. 66. 10. 1 Pet. 4. 12. Annot.

Tribulation]

;;A temporal affliction in this life, either inward to the soul, or outward to the body. Rom. 5. 4. We 〈◊〉 in tribulation. This sometime happeneth for trial, sometime is a forerunner of hell.

;;2. Part of that eternal pain and torment reserved for the wicked in hell. Rom. 2. Tribulation and anguish shall be upon the soul of every man that doth 〈◊〉 .

Tributary]

Shall be tributaries unto thee, Deut. 20. 11. Heb. shall be unto thee to tribute, which the Chaldee. expoundeth for offerers of tributes. And tribute is not only of men's goods, but of their persons, so to be paid with the labor of their bodies; as the Egyptians set over Israel, Task (or Tribute) masters, to afflict them with their burdens, Exod. 1. 11. and Solomon raised a tribute (or levy ) of 30000 men, 1 King. 5. 13. Ainsworth.

Tribute]

;;A sum of money paid unto Princes (for their better maintenance) according to the proportion of men's substance. Rom. 13. 6. For this cause ye pay tribute.

;;Howsoever the 〈◊〉 Greek words, Phoros and 〈◊〉 , used by the Apostle, and Englished by our Translators, tribute, and custom, be confounded by some learned men, as 〈◊〉 and equivalent, or of one signification and force, yet being here by a particle disjunctive distinguished, I judge with other judicious Expositors, that they signify two kinds of payments, one laid upon the person, which is properly Telos,, or poll-money ( custom here) because men were taxed by the poll, and paid man by man, 〈◊〉 Mat. 17. 25. The other laid upon men's substance, moveable, as Merchandise; or immovable, as Lands, that is 〈◊〉 , (Tribute) because men were wont to bring it into the Kings Treasure, or because it was paid of commodities brought in.

;;Thus with us there be two kinds of payments, the first called Subsidies, Tenths, Fifteenths, laid upon men according to ability: The second is Impost, or Custom, due for Traffick; arising by Exportation and Importation.

;;Note further, that among the Romans, Tribute was paid to the Quaestores,, or public Treasurers: Custom to Publicans, or Customers: Fear was due to Officers of Justice, Judges, Presidents, Serjeants, &c. Honor to the Emperor, or King, 1 Pet. 2. 17.

The Jews paid a threefold tribute to the Lord.

• The first was called, Argentum animarum, Exod. 30. 2. which everyone paid for the redemption of his life.
• The second was Argentum transeuntis, which they paid to the Lord wheu they were numbered by the head. 2 King. 12. 5.
• The third was that 〈◊〉 , which they offered freely to the Lord; this had 〈◊〉 rod upon the one side, and the pot of Manna upon the other; and when they were under the Romans, or captives under any other foreign Princes, the Masters of their Synagogues used to gather of them this 〈◊〉 yearly, and send it to Jerusalem to the 〈◊〉 ; this was not the penny which Caesar craved of them, for it had Caesar's image and superscription upon it, neither would the Lord have bidden them, give that to Caesar which was due to God. This didrachma, or tribute, which they paid to Caesar, was as much in value as the Half-shekel; and Christ himself, though he was free, and the Kings Son, yet he paid it for himself, and for Peter, Mat. 17. 27. And Mary, when Christ was in her womb, went to 〈◊〉 to pay this tribute to Caesar, Luk. 2. 5.

This penny which Caesar exacted of the Jews, was but denarius (denarius, didrachma, and numisma were all one.) This denarius was the ordinary hire of a 〈◊〉 for a day, Mat. 20. 2. and the daily wages of a Soldier, as Tacitus saith. Weems Jud. Law, p. 51, 52.

Trim]

;;How three, remaining three, may yet be one; and one abiding one, be three; and all this at once: this is a 〈◊〉 , rather to be religiously adored, then curiously searched into, requiring rather faith to believe, then reason to comprehend and judge it.

;;2. To transport and carry Christian professors from that inward tranquility and rest which they find by staying upon Christ alone, by preaching of the Law, and joining the observation of it with Christ, as necessary to salvation: whereupon ariseth restless fear in men's Consciences, troubled with privity and sense of their own guilt and transgression Gal. 5. 12. They were cut off which trouble you. To be the cause through the sin of Idolatry, of judgments, drought and famine upon the Land, to the great disquiet thereof. 1 King. 18. 17, 18.

〈◊〉 -breakers]

The Greek word 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 , signifieth 〈◊〉 , Rom. 1. 13. without fidelity; such as being offended, will never be reconciled, 2 Tim. 3. 3.

True]

;;That which is perfect, faithful, sound and sure, not counterfeit nor false. Psal. 119. 151. Thy Commandments are true. Rom. 3. 4. 〈◊〉 God be true, &c. Also, one which is faithful, Joh. 8. 26. 2 Tim. 2. 11.

;;2. That which is most excellent in that kind, with which no other can be compared for worthiness. Joh. 1. 9. This is that true light. Joh. 6. 32. also 15. 1.

;;In which places [ True ] is not set against False, but is a note of difference, to distinguish degrees and kinds of things, 〈◊〉 as much as truly divine and heavenly, far exceeding other things so named.

;;This word ( True, or Truth ) is contrary sometime to that which is counterfeit and false, and sometime to that which is a shadow, as Joh. 1. 17.

;;3. True is as much as natural, not made, as Joh. 7. 13. Know thee the only true God, &c. In all these senses Christ is the true light.

True is put for that which is most excellent. Thus Christ is said to be the true light, because of himself, and originally he is light, others only by participation from him, Joh. 1. 9. So the true bread; i. e. the most excellent bread, Joh. 6 32. and the 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 , Joh. 〈◊〉 . 1. having that perpetual sap of grace within himself, which he continually administers unto the faithful, whereby they flourish, and bring forth the works of holiness and righteousness.

2. Thus that true light, 1 Joh. 2. 8. is that most excellent knowledge of God and his Gospel, far surmounting the knowledge of the Law, and creatures.

True]

Psal. 19. 9. Heb. truth, marg.

True bread from Heaven, Joh. 6. 32. As 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 signifieth truly valuable, or durable; or truly durable because it is durable. So here 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 or 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 , true meat, or truly meat, is explained to be the bread of life, verse 48. that on which he that feeds shall live forever. So food that endures forever, verse. 27. & opposite to Manna, on which they that feed, die, verse. 47. And this,

• 1. As the word 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 , truly noteth some special 〈◊〉 where in any attribute belongs to the subject; and when it is applied to resemblances, it then signyfies that which is spoken of be more 〈◊〉 that by what it's resembled, then that it's self is; as, I am the true vine, i. e. a vine by 〈◊〉 grapes (which yield wine ) which makes glad the 〈◊〉 if man, is not near so able and proper to refresh a thirsty person, as I am, as my commands and promises are. So St. John of Christ, ch. 1. 9. that he is the true light, i. e. the most excellent. So Heb. 8. 2. Heaven is the true Tabernacle, that of which the tabernacle was but a dark and Poor resemblance; and so this called 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 , true bread, and verse. 55. meat indeed, or truly meat, i. e. more nutritive, and strengthening, and comforting then meat and bread is.
• 2. In respect of the particular matter to which it's applied, 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 , food, that which feeds one for an hour, or a day (and enlargeth his life but so long) being not truly food, nor worthy to be so called, at least not so in comparison with that which keeps him alive, so as life is adequately opposite to death, i. e. forever. And so with us the word 〈◊〉 signifies fading, transitory, that which will fail us when it were most of advantage for us to receive benefit by it. Dr. Hammond Annot. f. and Note on Luke 16. 〈◊〉 .

True]

;;One which knoweth all things as they be, withcut error or ignorance, which also willeth & 〈◊〉 whatsoever he willeth, seriously, without fraud, and 〈◊〉 all his promises without inconstancy or unfaithfulness. Such an one is Christ. Rev. 3. 7. These things saith be which is holy and true.

;;2. One which fulfilleth his punishments which he hath threatened. Rev. 16. 7. True and righteous are thy judgments.

True]

Heb. 10. 22. Let us 〈◊〉 near with a true heart, that is, with an upright and sincere heart, without hypocrisy, Psal. 51. 6. and with a constant heart, without drawing back, verse. 38. Luk. 16. 11. Luk. 6. 32. Hereunto is opposed an evil heart of unbelief, chap. 3. 12. See Mat. 15. 8. Annot.

A true heart, He doth not say sinless, but a true heart, without guil, which is absolutely necessary in worship; not so absolutely the full assurance of saith, here mentioned, that is, to be sure of the acceptance of our persons and service, when we come into the service of God. Leighs Annot.

It is true, 〈◊〉 3. 14. or of purpose, marg.

True laws, Neh. 9. 13. Heb. laws of 〈◊〉 marg.

Truly]

;;Sincerely, and uprightly, without lies and deceit. Matth. 22. 16. Thou 〈◊〉 the way of God truly; that is, true doctrine for the matter. 1 Joh. 1. 6. They lie, and do not truly; that is, they play the hypocrites.

Trump]

It's all one with trumpet; the Original 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 , being in 1 Cor. 14. 8. & 15. 52. one and the same. and it's termed the last because after it no trumpet shall ever be sounded. Annot.

Trumpet]

;;An hollow instrument of Silver, Brasse, or some other metal, giving a great sound through the breath of a man's mouth, wherewith public Magistrates are wont to proclaim their Laws in the time of peace, Dan. 4. 2, 3, 4. after the example of God. Exod. 19. 16. And the sound of the trumpet exceeding loud. Also Captains were wont to encourage 〈◊〉 Soldiers in the time of war, after the example of Gideon, Judge. 7. 18. And hypocritical Pharisees did call the poor together to receive their alms. Mat. 6. 2. 〈◊〉 thou givest thine alms, make not a trumpet to be 〈◊〉 before thee. This is a material trumpet, whereof we read in Scripture of three good uses, and of one abuse.

;;2. The Prophets, Apostles, and Ministers of the Word, which are commanded to publish the message and mind of Christ to his people, with great vehemency of voice. Isa. 58. 1. Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a Trumpet. Rev. 8. 2. And to them were given seven trumpets. This is by some expounded of the Ministers of the Gospel, whereof there was a type and figure under the Law in the Silver trumpets, by the noise whereof the people of God were called to the public assemblies on earth, as now by the Preachers of the Word they are called unto the Kingdom of heaven. Numb. 10. 2. Make two trumpets of silver, for the assembling of the Congregation. An immaterial and heavenly trumpet, whereof there is direct use for salvation; also that notable shrill sound of the voice of God, shaking all, and piercing the dead which have long lain in the dust, that they may live again, 1 Cor. 15. 52. 1 Thess. 4. 16. Joh. 5. 28.

;;Note here, that fervor, zeal, and courage ought to be in the Ministers of the Word, in reproving admonishing, comforting, and stirring them up to spiritual warfare, was figured in the Trumpets.

Trumpet]

;;Exod. 19. 13 or Cornet, marg.

To blow a trumpet before us]

;;To seek fame and renown of men, by doing of good things. Mat. 6. 2. When thou givest thine alms, thou shall not make a trumpet to be blown before thee.

The trumpet of God]

;;A most mighty noise (like to the noise of a trumpet) made of God extrordinarily, for the quickening or raising up of the dead. 1 Thess. 4. 16. The Lord shall come with the trumpet of God. 1 Cor. 15. 52. The trump shall blow, and the dead shall rise. This is expounded to be the voice of Christ himself, Joh. 5. 28. All that are in the grave shall hear his voice.

To blow the great trumpet]

;;Either literally the Edict of Cyrus, to permit the Jews to return into their Country at the end of their captivity in Babylon.

;;Or spiritually, the mighty sound of the Gospel, coming into all the parts, to call unto Christ out of all Countries his elect, both of Gentiles and Jews. Isa. 27. 13. It 〈◊〉 come to pass, the great trumpet shall blow: which shall be one of the last signs which shall go before Christ's coming to judgment, as in Mat. 24.

;;There was among the Jews a feast of less solemnity, called [ Blowing of trumpets: ] it began the first day of the seventh month, and was celebrated with blowing of trumpets.

;;The signification of it, was the spiritual joy and gladness which all our life long we are to have by the coming of Christ, praising God for it with Ode, and Hymns: for thus the Prophet Isaiah expoundeth it, Isa. 52. 8, 9. & 35. 10. See Levite. 23. 24, 25.

Not 〈◊〉 blow a trumpet before us]

;;To do the works of mercy, and all other good works as secretly as we can, without seeking any vain-glory from man, or receiving it being proffered. Mat. 6. 2. 〈◊〉 thou givest thine alms, make not a trumpet to be blown before thee. There is the same meaning of that [ Let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doth. ]

Trumpets seven]

;;The revelations of God's judgments by Angels or Teachers of the Church, who are likened to Trumpets; and the manifest and famous events which follow such revelations, in all manner and kinds of punishments. Revel. 8. 2. And to them were given seven trumpets.

To blow God's alarm against the ungrateful world, and thereby to give warning of the vials of his wrath to be poured forth on such as would not be amended by the judgments now denounced. They are seven blowing one after another, to show God's patience, who is unwilling to pour out his wrath all at once. Psal. 78. 34. Annot.

Trumpeters]

2 King. 11. 14. To blow with Trumpets was an accustomed rite at all great solemnities, especially at Kings inauguration, 1 King. 1. 39. and the Levites used to be Trumpeters as well as the Priests, 1 Chron. 16. 42. & 2 Chron. 5. 12. But unto the Priests it appertained most properly to sound with Trumpets, 2 Chr. 13. 12. Annot.

Trust]

;;The credit which one of us puts in another, in our mutual worldly dealings. Prov. 31. 11. The heart of her Husband trusts in her. This is a civil trust.

;;2. The affiance and confidence of our hearts, relying upon the merciful and true promises, and most powerful, wise, and good providence of God, both for the removing and keeping from us evil things; and for the giving and bestowing good things. Psal. 37. 3. Trust thou in the Lord, & 34. 22. None that trusts in him shall perish. 1 Tim. 6. 17. This trust is religious, and cannot be put in any creature without Idolatry. Hence we are for bidden to trust in riches, in the arm of flesh, in Princes, or in any Son of man, no not in Christ as man, or in any our good works, although proceeding from grace.

;;3. The matter and object of our trust, or he in whom our trust is to be fixed. Psal. 40. 4. Blessed is the man which makes the Lord his trust.

Trust]

is put for,

• To hope well, Luk. 24. 21.
• 2. To be persuaded, Heb. 13. 18.
• 3. To stay on, Isa. 26. 3.
• 4. To strengthen ones self, Psal. 52. 7. marg.
• 5. To roll himself, Psal. 22. 8. marg.

Trusted]

Eph. 1. 12. or hoped, marg.

Trusty]

Job 12. 20. The word is by some translated eloquent, from 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 , to speak, and 〈◊〉 men are of great use in a State; by others, such as speak truly, for such will rightly inform in public affairs. By others, the 〈◊〉 , for they that speak truly and elegantly, as they are of great use in the public, so they may well be confident in what they advise, and look to be believed. By others, the trusty, as in our Translation, for such men are most worthy to be trusted, both by Governors and people in places of greatest consequence, who can speak well, and will speak truly and confidently, as becomes Orators, Lawyers, 〈◊〉 . And in these three last senses the word is taken, from 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 ; which in some conjugations signifies to be true of speech, faithful, confident. Such God can take away, or take those qualities from them, Isa. 3. 3. The word is 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 faithful, Prov. 25. 13. Annot.

〈◊〉 ]

;;The most perfect essence of anything, or the most absolute perfection itself of any matter. Joh. 18. 38. 〈◊〉 is truth?

;;2. The most perfect divine 〈◊〉 , which is truth itself, and the Author of all truth in his creatures. Psal. 31. 5. Thou hast redeemed me, O Lord God of truth. Joh. 14. 6. I am the truth, &c Exod. 34. 6.

;;3. The constancy of God, in keeping his promises. Rom. 3. 7. If the 〈◊〉 of God hath more abounded through my lie.

;;The word [ 〈◊〉 ] is taken in this sense in all places of Scripture, where mercy and Truth are matched and mentioned together, Psal. 111. 2. & 43. 3. and often elsewhere.

;;4. The substance and body of that that was shadowed under the Ceremonies of Moses Law. Joh. 4. 23. The true worshippers shall worship the Father in truth. Also the impletion and performance of promises and prophesies concerning man's redemption, Joh. 1. 14.

;; Note: The word is Truth, both because from the beginning to the ending it is wholly true: and also it is a rule of all truth which is according to godliness, Tit. 1. 1.

;;5. The whole Word of God, both Law and Gospel, which is called [ the truth ] because it 〈◊〉 the firm and sure doctrine, which teacheth the 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 how to attain eternal salvation. Joh. 17. 17. Thy Word is truth. Joh. 3. 31, 32. Col. 1. 5. Whereof you have heard before by the Word of truth, which is the Gospel, Gal. 5. 7.

;;The doctrines of false Apostles, teaching righteousness to come by the Works of the Law: also the opinions of all sorts of Heretics, and whatsoever Precepts and Traditions of men, in the cause of Religion and Salvation, (being not grounded on the Word of truth) are to be held for mere fables, yea for lies and falsehood.

;;6. Christ and his doctrine. 2 Joh. 1. But also all that have known the truth. 1 Tim. 2. 4. This is the mean whereby salvation cometh to men.

;;7. The true understanding of things necessary to salvation. Joh. 17. 17. Sanctify them with thy truth.

;;8. The light of Nature left in man since his fall, to help him to know God so far as to leave him without excuse (but not so far as is needful to salvation,) Rom. 1. 18. Which with-hold the truth in unrighteousness, Rom. 2. 8.

;;9. True Religion, taught and contained in the Gospel. Gal. 3. 1. Who hath bewiched you, that you should not obey the truth? Tit. 1. 1.

;;10. Integrity of life, or uprightness and sincerity, void of deceit and counterfeiting. 1 Cor. 5. 8. With the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth. Eph. 4. 24. Isa. 38. 3. I have walked before thee in truth.

;;11. Justice or righteousness, as it is contrary to iniquity. 1 Cor. 13. 6. It rejoiceth not in iniquity, but in truth. Psal. 51. 6. Thou lovest truth in the inward parts. It is a part of the image of God. See Eph. 4. 24. Joh. 3. 21. & 3 Joh. 12. Truth signifieth just deeds truly and uprightly done.

;;12. Fidelity and faithfulness between man and man, in keeping just covenants, promises, and bargains. Jer. 5. 1, 3. O Lord are not thine eyes set upon truth?

;;13. A just and true sentence pronounced by a Magistrate in cases of justice. Prov. 20. 28. Mercy and truth preserve the King.

;;14. Plainness and simplicity of speech, when things are uttered as they be, without fraud and falsehood. Psal. 15. 2. He that speaketh the truth from his heart. Eph. 4. 25. Speak truth one to another.

;;15. Most true, and far from all deceit. Psal. 19. 9. The judgments of the Lord are truth.

;;16. In deed, and in good earnest; when the inward belief and obedience of the heart doth answer the outward profession. Eph. 4. 21. And have been taught in him as the truth is in Jesus; that is, the true and sincere instruction in Christ. Also Phil. 1. 18.

;;Truth signifieth sincerity from the heart, with assent of the mind, as one truly purposeth.

According to truth]

;;Not after appearance and shows, as men do judge. 1 Sam. 16. 7. Neither unjustly, and partially, but righteously and equally, as becometh the Judge of the world, and the searcher of hearts. Rom. 2. 2. The judgment of God is according unto truth.

According to truth, Rom. 2. 2. The Heb. 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 , signifies both truth and justice, and is rendered by 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 and 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 , and here one of them is put for the other, 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 truth, and 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 justice, so as on the other side 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 , the unjust mammon, is opposed to the true riches. Dr. Ham. Annot. b.

To do truth]

;;To deal truly and sincerely, leading an honest life, void of all craft and deceiving. Joh. 3. 21. He that doth truth comes to the light.

Full of truth]

;;One full of the very substance of truth; to wit, Christ, being the perfection and accomplishment of all Legal ceremonies. Joh. 1. 14. Full of grace and truth.

Girdle of truth]

;;The true doctrine of the Gospel, which is unto the soul to strengthen it, as a girdle is unto the body of a Soldier in war. Eph. 6. 14. Your loins girt about with truth.

;; Paul that holy Apostle, hath very elegantly described the complete armor of a Christian Soldier, alotting his Loins (the Doctrine of Truth) for a Girdle, his Breast (a good Consclence) for a Breast-plate; his Legs and Feet (a prompt and ready mind to confess and preach the Gospel of peace and atonement with God) as boots and shoes; confidence in Christ (as a Shield) in the left hand, and in the right hand, the Word of God for a Sword; and, finally, the hope of salvation by Christ, for an Helmet to cover the head.

;;Thus the whole man is armed throughout at all points (none being allowed the back, teaching thereby unto us, that a Christian is never to think of saving himself by flight) against all the temptations of the spiritual enemies to be made able to withstand and overcome them through the power of Jesus Christ, their General and grand Captain: from whom both the weapons themselves, and the skill with agility to use them aright, also the success and victory after the combat, must be begged by faithful and earnest prayer. See Eph. 6. from verse. 14. till 20.

Truth of the Gospel]

;;The true and sincere doctrine of the Gospel. Gal. 2. 5. That the truth of the Gospel might continue in you.

To hold the truth in unrighteousness]

;;To suppress the light of knowledge naturally shining in men's hearts, forcibly keeping it back from showing itself in words and deeds, as it desires to do. Rom. 1. 18. Wrath of God is revealed from heaven upon men which hold the truth in unrighteousness.

Of a truth]

is a word of Asseveration. 1 Sam. 21. 5. Luk. 12. 4.

2. For certainly, and really, Job 9. 2. Luk. 4. 25.

3. Sincerely, 1 Cor. 14. 25.

Truth]

Sanctified through thy truth, Joh. 17. 19. or truly sanctified, marg.

Rightly to divide the Word of truth]

;;Skilfully and very wisely to distribute and apply the Gospel (which is by excellency the Word of truth) unto the capacities and uses of the hearers. 2 Tim. 2. 15. Rightly dividing the Word of truth. It is a Metaphor taken from the Rite of the Levitical Priests, whose use what it was, see Lev. 1. 15, 17. To cleave the Bird with the wings in even parts, which signifieth both the death of Christ, without breaking any bone, and the skill which should be in Ministers, to cut the Word.

To tell the whole truth]

;;To declare and lay open the whole matter, as it was done. Mark 5. 23. She told him the whole truth.

To walk in truth]

;;To live uprightly without hypocrisy. 1 King. 2. 4. That they walk before me in truth.

Word of truth]

;;The Gospel, preached and published by the true Ministers thereof, being the only saving truth. 2 Cor. 6. 7. By the Word of truth. Col. 1. 5. Whereof ye have heard by the Word of truth; that is, the Gospel, Ephes. 1. 13.

To worship God in truth]

;;To serve God with an inward pure worship, and without such Ceremonies as were under the Law. Joh. 4. 24. And will be worshipped in spirit and truth.

Word of truth]

;;Words worthy to be received for their certainty; being for use, like goads to incite us to our duty, being slothful; and as nails to contain us in our duty, Eccl. 12. 11.

Tryphena]

Delicious, or delicate. A godly woman, Rom. 16. 12.

Tryphosa]

The word sometimes implies a mournful noise, Psal. 55. 2. chap. 59. 11. The word is also used for such a noise as Revellers amidst their mirth make, Prov. 20. 1. Zach. 9. 15. It seems here to imply an hideous confused noise, whether of the one or of the other. Annot.

Of the tumultuous ones, Jer. 48. 45. or Revellers, Heb. children of noise, as chap. 46. 17. Not so much the rude and promiscuous multitude, Isa. 16. 14. & 17. 12. as the gallants, those revelling and roaring ones, as Isa. 5. 14. & 24. 8. Annot.

Turn]

;;4. To give some mercy after some judgment, as if God did turn and change his mind. Psal. 80. 7. Turn us again. Lam. 3. 21. Jonas 3. 9. In these and many other places, the word [ turn ] signifies to restore such as be in calamity, showing some new favor after some affliction.

Turn away]

To remove, Jer 18. 20.

It it put for, To pervert and seduce, Act. 13 8.

2. To forsake, Jer. 32. 40.

Turn away thine eyes from me]

So the last translation. Turn about thine eyes over against me. Turn about thine eyes. This word is used sometime for turning towards, 1 Chr. 12. 23. Sometime for turning away, 〈◊〉 . 7 22. Here it seemeth to be meant in the first sense; that the eyes of the Spouse, (which were like Doves, Cant. 4. 1.) should now in her Beloveds absence be turned to him by faith, that he thereby might be encouraged and cheered in her love. Over against me ] towards me, though a far off, so the word is used sundry times. It may also be Englished, from me, or from before me. Ainsworth.

But the most facile and general opinion is, that they are the most elegant, (and indeed poetical) expression of abundant ardent love, uttered by Christ, as by one wounded and overcome in battle, by the darts of his enemy. See To overcome.

Turn away]

Heb. 12. 25. If we turn away from him that speaketh from heaven. If they escaped not, who refused to 〈◊〉 to the Law, which God by an Angel, (or by Moses ) delivered to man, here upon earth; how much less shall we escape, if we despise the Gospel, which is delivered unto us from heaven? Hall.

As much as Christ's person is more excellent then Moses, and his authority above his; and the heavenly clearness of Christ's gracious offer, above his dark types: as much more heavy and certain wrath shall overtake the despisers of his Doctrine, (the refusers, or (as the word importeth) shifters off of Christ) then the despisers of Moses Law.

Turtle]

;;A Bird so called, being of Doves the least, a lovely, delightful, harmless, simple, and chaste fowl. Jer. 8. 7. Even the Turtle and the Swallow observe their times. The Prophet hereby accuseth the Jews of blockishness, having less understanding in heavenly matters, then Birds and Beasts, in discerning their seasons of heat, cold, &c.

;;2. The Church of God in earth, being like a Turtle. Psal. 74. 19. Give not the soul of thy Turtle, &c. A Metaphor. As the Turtle, so the true Church of God on earth is small, weak, unarmed, exposed to many dangers, from beastly ravenous men; yet remaineth meek and innocent, both by imputed and inherent innocence, whereby she is still amiable to Christ her husband, and all her children, though hated and persecuted of the world.

It was to be offered up unto the Lord, Lev. 1. 14. & 5. 7. & 12. 6. & 14. 22, 30. If either male or female die, the other continueth chaste, maketh choice of no other. The female after the death of the male loveth solitariness. It will not light upon any filthy thing, nor upon a dead 〈◊〉 . Its voice is not at all times one and the same. In the Summer it's seen and heard, not in the Winter. It's 〈◊〉 , loving to its own kind, entertaining peace with other Birds. In the Winter it casteth the feathers, which again grow against the Spring.

Turtle]

The voice of the Turtle is heard in our 〈◊〉 , Cant. 2. 12. The Church itself is sometime meant by the Turtle, Psal. 74. 19. and the Dove, Cant. 2. 14. & 5. 2. sometime the holy Ghost with his graces, is resembled by a Dove, as at our Lord's Baptism, Mat. 3 16. and thus the 〈◊〉 expoundeth it here, the voice of the holy Ghost. So it signifieth the voice of the Spirit in the people of Christ, mutually comforting one another, and jointly praising God, with and for his graces. The Turtle Dove casting her feathers, is said to hide herself in Winter in holes of trees, her voice therefore being now heard, signifieth that Summer was come. Ayasworth.

It signified, a mourning and contrite heart: whose groanings though many and grievous, yet are music in his ears; and sweet evidences both of his Spirit abiding in us, and of the work of grace, like a new and lively Spring, begun by it. Annot.

That is, of Christ the faithful Spouse of his Church, who is mourning in Judea, because he findeth not his Mate (the Church) there. Cotton.

Now is the time of that heavenly melody, which the cheerful Saints and Angels make in mine ears, while they sing songs of deliverance, and praise me with their Allelujahs, and say, Glory to God on high, in earth peace, good will towards men. Hall.

This bird is in the Original called Toor (whereof the Latin by duplication hath Turtur ) which appellatively is Order, as if this bird before other birds, should be a bird of Order. It's a kind of Dove, addicted to the Desert and solitary places, true to the mate, whose song is mixed with a groaning sadness, in the 〈◊〉 season coucheth in some trees hollow trunk, coming forth in the Spring, with his troubled Cantillation. What bird of Order must this be, that with his sad song doth order all the birds? It is no other but he that in Levite. 1. 14. & 5. 7. is appointed for burnt sacrifice, even 〈◊〉 himself, who during the Laws winter was couched under shadows, and lay therein as dead, but together with the Gentiles time of vocation did step forth, shown himself in our nature, ( Beda understandeth by the Turtle Christ's humanity) sung personally to the Jews, and first fruits of the Gentiles, but Ministerially to their successors by substitutes, yet whether in himself or others, all 〈◊〉 the Turtles voice; a voice that may be discerned by his sad gladness, or glad sadness. 〈◊〉 .

Tutors]

are they who have power given unto them over one free born, that in regard of his age is not able to defend and guide himself; in which sense Tutors are appointed by Parents unto their children for a certain time, Gal. 4. 2.

Two Candlesticks]

;;All the faithful Pastors of the Church, from whom the light of God's word shineth upon men, as Candlesticks bear out the light which be put on them. Rev. 11. 4. These are two candlesticks.

Two horns]

;;The powers Regal and Pontifical, Civil and Ecclesiastical, which the Pope and Papal Clergy challenge to themselves, over the Emperors and Kings of the earth; also over men's souls and consciences; and because they pretend this double power to be derived and received from Christ (though indeed it be from the Dragon, even from the Devil of hell) therefore be they called, the Horns of a Lamb, Rev. 13. 11. The beast had two horns like a Lamb. Some understand these two horns, of two French Kings, Pipinus and Carolus Magnus, who succoured the two Popes, Stephanus the second, and Adrian (whom they took to be innocent and harmless as Lambs) against the Kings of the Lombards: Aristulphus and Desiderius.

Two hundred]

And those that kept the fruit of it two hundred, Cant. 8. 12. that is, Thy laborers shall receive also according to the agreement, everyone for his work, see Matth. 20. 1, 2, &c. So the Apostle saith, every man shall receive his own reward, according to his own labor, 1 Cor. 3. 8. Ainsworth.

Christ doth not send laborers into his Vineyard without hopes of reward; though the chiefest remuneration is to see their work prosper, and that fruit abounds towards their account before God, yet they shall not shut a door in his house for naught, Mal. 1. 10. Matth. 20. 1, 2. Christ allows a fifth part with himself, a glory almost like his own, with which they shall shine forever, that are faithful in his work, Dan. 12. verse. 3. Annot.

Two and forty months]

;;Three years and a half, which is half a Prophetical week, according to Dan. 9. and jumpeth with the other numbers; of a time, two times, and half a time: also, a thousand, two hundred, threescore days. Which several numbers do note and point out one thing, to wit, that the time of the tyranny of Antichrist, persecuting the Saints, is certain, fixed and determined, which he cannot pass, and that it shall not be very long; which greatly maketh for the consolation of the Saints. Rev. 11. 2. Thy holy City they shall tread underfoot two and forty months. Where these months took their beginning, and where they are determined, I take not on me to judge; certain it is, that in these 42. months, every day is put for a year (as in the prophesy of Weeks by Daniel ) and every week for seven years, and every month to consist of thirty days according to the Egyptian account: and finally, that it is the whole space of time, wherein Antichrist shall arise, increase, or wax; be wounded, revive and take heart again, to execute his cruelty in that City which was the Queen of the World (as it were) where he and his Favorites should bathe themselves in pleasures. Therefore they do err, which do precisely understand these months of three years and a half, where by this number mystically is signified the whole time of Antichrists reign, which is by the former computation, twelve hundred and threescore years.
