Wrap]

To cover, 1 King. 19. 13. To fasten, and take sure hold, Job 8. 17. To hide sin. Mic. 7. 3.

Wrath]

;;Just vengeance taken upon sinners in this world. Psal. 90. 12. 〈◊〉 knows the the power of his wrath? Eph. 5. 6. Rom. 3. 5. Which punisheth. Isa. 26. 21.

;;2. Eternal death in hell fire. 1 Thess 5. 9. God hath not appointed us to wrath. 1 Thess. 1. 10. Which delivereth us from that wrath to come. Rom. 2. 5. This floweth from the just wrath of God.

;;3. The perturbation of mind', which moveth man to revenge their own wrongs. Gal. 5. 30. Hatred, debate, wrath.

Wrath when it is attributed to God signifieth three things.

• 1. His just decree to punish sin. Joh. 3. 36. Rom. 1. 18. The wrath of God is revealed from heaven; that is, the wrath of God is made manifest by the effects of the same.
• 2. His threatenings against sin, Psal. 6. 1. Correct me not in thy wrath; that is, according to thy threatenings against sin, Hos. 11. 9. Joh. 3. 9.
• 3. The punishment itself, inflicted upon sinners. Rom. 2. 5. To treasure up wrath; is, To heap up punishment. Thus it is taken, Mat. 3. 7. Eph. 5. 6.

Wrath]

is applied both unto God, and unto Man.

Unto God; whereof the cause is sin, Numb. 16. 46. 2 Chr. 28. 11. Ezr. 8. 22. Psal. 78. 31. Joh. 3. 36. Rom. 1. 18. Eph. 5. 6. for the execution whereof there's a day of wrath, Rev. 6. 17. This is termed sometimes little, Isa. 54. 8. See Psal. 2. 12. & 78. 38. whereof yet the Psalmist could say, Thy wrath lieth hard upon me, Psal. 88. 7. but usually fierce, 2 Chr. 29. 10. great, 2 Chr. 28. 13. said to be kindled, 2 King. 22. 17. wax hot, Exod. 32. 10. burn like fire, Psal. 89. 46. The objects hereof are the generation of his wrath, Jer. 7. 2 9. the people of his wrath, Isa. 10. 6. and the vessels of wrath, Rom. 9. 22. They shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, Rev. 14. 10. and on them shall be poured out the vials of his wrath, Rev. 16. 1.

Unto man; whether a King, Prov. 16. 14. & 19. 12. or others. This is said to be cruel, Prov. 27. 4. heavy, Ib. 3. Proud, Prov. 21. 24. This is in some excessive, who are therefore said to be full of wrath, Est. 3. 5. Act. 19. 28. This is a work of the 〈◊〉 , Gal. 5. 20. upon which we must nor let the Sun go down, Eph. 4. 26. but put it off, Col. 3. 8. being slow thereunto, Jam. 1. 19. In Rev. 6. 16. wrath is also ascribed unto the Lamb. Psal. 90. 11. Even according to thy fear so is thy wrath. The Psalmists meaning is in opposition to them that maintained, that God need not be feared, quia nec potest irasci, nec nocere; that is, in the Prophet Zephaniah his expression, That the Lord will do no good, neither will he do any evil, Zeph. 1. 12. His meaning I say is, That the fear of God is no vain thing; that he hath dreadful judgments in store against them that fear him not, nor dread his judgments. Annot. Or, who knoweth (or acknowledgeth) thy wrath; so as thy fear, teacherh men to do? meaning 〈◊〉 fear either. God's Law, as Psal. 19. 10. or his fearful judgments upon sinners, which should strike a fear into men's hearts, Deut. 13. 11. Psal. 119. 120. Jonah 1. 16. Or, as thy fear, is, so as to fear thee for thy wrath, and by it to depart from evil, as Prov. 16. 6. 2 Cor. 5. 10, 11. or even according to thy fear, so is thy wrath. The Chaldee paraphraseth, who knoweth to turn away the strength of thy anger, but the just which fear thee 〈◊〉 thy wrath? Ainsworth. Or according as men do more or less tremble at thy judgments, so doest thou more or less execute them. B. Hall Paraph.

Children of wrath]

;;Those that are guilty of eternal death through the just anger of God against sin, as all men be by nature and birth. Eph. 2. 3. And were by nature the children of wrath as well as others

Thy wrath is come, Rev. 11. 18. The time to execute thy wrath on such as repented not in time of thy forbearance. Annot.

The wrath of the Lamb, and the 〈◊〉 day of his wrath. Rev. 6. 16, 17. Though a lamb sacrificed for his, and in regard of mildness to them, chap. 5. 6. yet as dreadful as a lion to those that had wronged him in them, whose hearts began now to smite them for their wrongs done to them; and as powerful and wrathful, to take vengeance upon them for the same, Ch. 5. 5. & 1. 7. Amos 1. 2. & 3. 8. and that on the day of vengeance, which the blood of Martyrs called upon, and cried so loud for, verse. 10. So Isa. 34. 6, 8. Joel 2. 1, 2, 31. Annot.

To give place to wrath]

;;To suffer God to execute wrath and punishment upon our enemies that wrong us, committing our cause to him who in due time will revenge it. Rom. 12. 19. Avenge not your 〈◊〉 , but give place to wrath. Deut. 32. 35. This phrase by some is understood of our own wrath, that we should keep it in, and not 〈◊〉 it to break forth, but digest and allay it in ourselves, by meekness of spirit.

;;Other Interpteters reserre it to the wrath of our adversary, which will be much appeased (if not wholly 〈◊〉 ) by our silence and patience, giving way to his anger without resistance; even as the force of a gun or of lightning, is greatly broken, if they light and fall upon soft and yielding things, as the ground, or wool, or such like; whereas hitting upon hard things, as oakes, walls, &c. which do resist, they violently overthrow all.

;;These things are true, but the first sense is fittest, as appeareth by the Text, Rom. 12. 19. by the words cited out of Moses; for Vengeance is mine, saith the Lord.

Wrath]

Heb. 3. 11. So I sware in my wrath. Though it be here said, he sware in his wrath, yet it was a just and advised anger; not choleric fury as ours is, Jones.

Wrathfull]

Angry, Prov. 15. 18. Thy wrathful anger, Psal. 69. 24. The burning wrath of thine anger. Ainsworth.

Wreathed]

Lam. 1. 14. They are wreathed, They, that is, the penalties whereunto by them I have made myself liable, and which God hath justly inflicted upon me for them, are made up together as in a wrath. The word here used is very pregnant, and made vigorous. It is derived (as some think) from the boughs or twigs of trees, or shrubs, that growing thick together, are entangled one with another. So termed, Gen. 40. 10. As others, from threads that are twined and twisted together to make up a line, cord, or cable, Eccl. 4. 12. Or, as others again, from withs and twigs that are wreathed together for the making of baskets. Or, as others, lastly, from nets and snares made of lines so twisted, wherein birds, beasts, and fish are wont to be entangled; or weels made of such withs and twigs, for the catching of fish, because in the Chaldee and Syriac the word is commonly used for such nets, Job 19. 6. Ezek. 12. 13. & 19. 8. and such baskets, 2 Cor. 11. 33. Annot.

Wreathen]

Applyed to the two chains of pure gold which were to be fastened to the Ouches, which were to be placed on 〈◊〉 ' s Ephod, Ex. 28. 14. and to the work about the Chapiters of the two brazen Pillars in Solomon's Temple, 2 King. 25. 17.

And the two wreaths, &c. 2 Chr. 4. 12. These are called net-works, or wreaths of chain-work, 1 King. 1. 17. being a very artificial kind of work, whereby sundry 〈◊〉 , leaves, flowers and fruits, were curiously interlaced and wreathed together. Annot.

Wrest]

To pervert and turn to another end. Thus to pervert judgment, Exod. 23. 2. is, To oppress under color of justice, Deut. 16. 19.

To wrest ones words; is, To turn them into another sense then he meant that spake them, or then the words will bear, Psal. 56. 4. 〈◊〉 Heretics pervert the Scripture, to confirm their false doctrine, 2 Pet. 3. 16.

To wrestle]

;;To 〈◊〉 together one man with another, which should overcome the other by strength. Gen. 32. 24. There wrestled a man with him, till the breaking of the day.

;;2. To fight and strive against the spiritual enemies of our salvation. Eph. 6. 12. We wrestle against principalities and powers.

Thou art wretched, Rev. 3. 17. In a very lamentable plight, whatsoever thou deemest or 〈◊〉 of thy happy condition, Jer. 4. 10. & 6. 14. Annot.

Wretchednesse]

And let me not see my wretchedness, Numb. 11. 15. or 〈◊〉 evil; that is, my misery and 〈◊〉 . By seeing evil, is meant the feeling or 〈◊〉 of misery; as, to see death, is to die, Luk. 2. 26. Psal. 89. 49. and as one to the contrary, to see the salvation of God, meaneth the fruition or enjoining thereof, Psal. 50. 23. & 91. 16. Ainsworth.

Wring]

To strain or press out dew, Judge. 6. 38. Juice of the grape, Gen. 40. 11.

It is put for, To afflict with grievous calamities, Psal. 75. 8, To kill, Lev. 1. 15.

Gr. On the 〈◊〉 side. The matter was so copious, that the inside of the book could not hold it. Ezek. 2. 10. A phrase taken from the manner of writing in rols of 〈◊〉 or paper; which, when the matter was so large, as it could not be all written on the one side, they were fain sometime to 〈◊〉 on the backside the residue. Some think the things present were written on the one side, and the things to come on the other. Or, written within, and on the back side sealed, &c. So that the matter was written within, and the seals wherewith it was sealed up, affixed on the outside; to show that none could look into it, or by human wisdom come to know what was contained in it. 1 Cor. 2. 9, 11. See Isa. 29. 11. Jer. 22. 11. Dan. 12. 2. Annot.

Example in 〈◊〉 , Gen. 12. 12, 14. and Abimelech, Gen. 20. 3, 18. 〈◊〉 , 1 King. 21. 10, 19. It ought not to be done, Act. 7. 26. Lev. 19. 13. & 25. 17. Ought to be 〈◊〉 , 2 Cor. 13. Gen. 41. 9. & 50. 15. 1 Sam. 24. 8.
• 2. In respect of him that suffereth wrong. 2 Cor. 7. 12. Ought to be suffered 〈◊〉 then go to Law with scandal to the Gospel, 1 Cor. 6. 7. We ought not to revenge it, but commit it to God, Deut. 32. 33. Prov. 20. 22. Mat. 5. 39. but forget it, Gen. 27. 47. and forgive it from the heart, Mat. 6. 12, 14, 15. & 18. 35. Eph. 4. 26.

Wrong]

1 Chr. 12. 17. or violence, marg. Hab. 1. 4. or wrested, marg.

To suffer wrong]

;;To bear and put up quietly and patiently, any harm done unto us, without 〈◊〉 revenge. 1 Cor. 6. 7. 〈◊〉 rather suffer ye not wrong?

〈◊〉 have wronged 〈◊〉 man, 2 Cor. 7. 2. have not dealt unjustly, have not hurt or harmed others.

Wrongfully]

〈◊〉 , 〈◊〉 21. 27. Psal. 35. 19. Heb. falsely, marg. Without cause, Psal. 38. 19. & 119. 86. Without right, Ezek. 22. 29. marg.

Wrath]

Gen. 4. 5. Cain was very wroth, or was vehemently grieved, or displeased. The Heb. word signifieth to burn, or to be 〈◊〉 , either with anger or grief. The 〈◊〉 here 〈◊〉 he was grieved, and in sundry other places, as Joh. 4. 1, 9. where both the Greek 〈◊〉 , and all the circumstances, show it to mean 〈◊〉 . So in 1 Sam. 15. 11. 1 Chr. 13. 11. Neh. 5. 6. Ainsworth. To be angry, Gen. 31. 36. Jacob was 〈◊〉 , and thereupon chode. Anger is a passion soon raised, but hardly ruled. The easiest precept in all the Scripture, is that of Paul to the Ephesians, Be angry, and the hardest prohibirion (that which is joined with it) 〈◊〉 not, Eph. 4. 26. and never more hard for a man to 〈◊〉 sin, then when he doth not forbear anger. Annot.

And the 〈◊〉 was wroth with the woman, &c. Rev. 13. 17. The 〈◊〉 with the 〈◊〉 ariseth not from any hurt they had done the Dragon; but out of an old quarrel against their mother. Gen. 3. 15. Annot.

When the Dragon had perceived (he who even now was deprived of the Roman Empire) that he nothing prevailed by the flood of 〈◊〉 , to overwhelm the woman flying into the Wilderness, but that nevertheless she was come safe thither: and furthermore that the 〈◊〉 Empire, would no more suffer, that he, in his proper name should manage the affairs there, as in times past: he setteth upon her by another way; to wit, by substituting covertly for himself, a deputed Kingdom, and to that end he stood upon the Sand or Sea, that he might raise to himself a new deputed form of the Roman Kingdom, there to have its beginning. Mede.

The motive and cause of the battle, The Dragon was wroth with the Woman. No cause hath he to persecute the Church, only his own malice and anger stirred him up unto it, and the more he findeth himself disappointed, the more his anger increaseth. There are four things which increase continually in the Devil, and in all that are his, Evil doing: an evil conscience: sense of God's 〈◊〉 upon them: and wrath in them, against God and his Saints. Cowper.

So 〈◊〉 it notes the space of their being and 〈◊〉 in the Vineyard, though it is not improbable that the right reading might be 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 , labored, which is very little distant from it. Dr. Ham. on Mat. 20. Annot. a. ) 2 Joh. 8. or gained, marg.

It is put for Merchandise, 1 King. 10. 28. 2 Chron. 1. 16.

A growing together and thickening of the waters through cold, Job 37. 10. & 38. 29, 30. Psal. 147. 16.

Yeer]

;;The space of twelve months. Luk. 3. 23. Jesus began to be about thirty 〈◊〉 of age.

;;2. The whole space and time of our life. Psal. 90. 9. 〈◊〉 have spent our years as a thought.

;;3. The seasons of the year; in which 〈◊〉 God is said to crown the year with his 〈◊〉 , when he bestows his blessings for the use of man in the several seasons, Psal. 65. 11.

It is taken for time indefinitely, Psal. 77. 5. & 90. 14. Exod. 38. 8, 17. Hence 〈◊〉 is said to 〈◊〉 the 〈◊〉 for that year; 〈◊〉 is, then, Joh. 18. 13. For the office of the Priest-hood (as 〈◊〉 thinketh) was not annual, although others think that Annas and Cajaphas discharged the office by 〈◊〉 ; so that he who was the 〈◊〉 year the first Priest, the second year was the second Priest; and he that now was the second, the next year was the first.

The year of the Jews was either Abundant, Deficient, or Equal.

〈◊〉 , they called Annus 〈◊〉 .

〈◊〉 , they called 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 .

The year which was deficient, by institution they made it full; as when they took a day out of 〈◊〉 that had thirty 〈◊〉 , and put it to 〈◊〉 , which had but twenty nine days.

That year which was abundant, by institution they made it deficient, when they took a day from Marchesvan, and added it to 〈◊〉 : Here Cisleu had a day more then enough, for none of their months had thirty one days.

Their year was ordinary, when Marchesvan had nine and twenty days, and 〈◊〉 thirty; and so through the months of the 〈◊〉 .

That they might 〈◊〉 the 〈◊〉 of the Moon to the Sun, they interlaced a month.

The Sun exceeds the Moon in his 〈◊〉 eleven days in the year; so that every third year there are thirty three odd days, of the the which they make up a month, calling it the first Adar of thirty days, and they reserve the three odd days till the next year, and so forth till the nineteenth year. 〈◊〉 interlaced months, with the odd days, make up the nineteenth year of the golden number, consisting of three hundred fifty four days; so that the Sun and the Moon met at one just period, as they did in the first year of the golden number of the nineteen years; the third, the sixth, the 〈◊〉 , eleventh, fourteenth, sixteenth, were 〈◊〉 years, and the nineteenth year made up the 〈◊〉 number. The eighth year was intercalar, because of the six odd days reserved from the years going before. 〈◊〉 Christian 〈◊〉 p. 100.

Yeer of Sabbath, and 〈◊〉 ]

;;Our perfect rest from sin and all infirmity through Christ in heaven, as the rest of the seventh day signifieth likewise, Lev. 25. 4, 5, &c. comp. with Col. 2. & Heb. 4.

Yeer after 〈◊〉 , 2 〈◊〉 . 31. 1. The second after the first, and third after the second.

〈◊〉 by year, Deut. 14. 22. So the Gr. also interpreteth the Heb. phrase, 〈◊〉 year, which is elsewhere written year by year, Neh. 10. 35. and Jonathan in his Targum explaineth it, every year and year, whereto he addeth, and not the fruits of (one) year, with the fruits of another year; meaning that they must separate their tithes yearly, and not put two years tithe into one. Ainsworth.

Yeers]

Natural 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 his 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 to rest sometime, but this 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 and devouring Dragon ceaseth never to do evil, 1 Pet. 5. 8. The shorter time he hath, the more busily doth he bestir himself to do 〈◊〉 . Revel. 12. 12. And 〈◊〉 far his power decreaseth in regard of time, it increaseth as far in regard of maliciousness He hath been working wickedness more then 5600 years, and yet he is not 〈◊〉 of evil doing. It is a shame for us who are creatures of 〈◊〉 continuance, that we should so soon be weary of well doing. This particular enumeration of the time is set down for our comfort, that our enemies are not able to trouble us one hour longer, then the Lord hath permitted them for our trial. Cowper.

Yeer to year]

Exod. 13. 10. Heb. from days to days; but days often signify a sull year. The Chaldee. translateth from time to time. The Gr. keepeth the Heb. phrase, where fore days are prophetically used for years in the Gr. of the New Testament, Rev. 11. 3. Ainsworth.

And 〈◊〉 them evil four hundred years, Act. 7. 6. So Gen. 15. 30. but in Exod. 12. 40. it's said, the 〈◊〉 of the 〈◊〉 of 〈◊〉 , who dwelt in Egypt, was four hundred and 〈◊〉 years. The accord must be by distingushing of the 〈◊〉 of the 〈◊〉 , which if 〈◊〉 from Abraham' s leaving of Chaldea, and receiving the first 〈◊〉 of 〈◊〉 , which his 〈◊〉 did begin, then it 〈◊〉 right to be four 〈◊〉 and thirty years, as it is in Exodus; but if it be taken srom 〈◊〉 seed, i. e. from the birth of 〈◊〉 , which was in the 〈◊〉 year of Abraham' s age, and so thirty years after his departure from Chaldea, then it must consequently be thirty years less from thence to the 〈◊〉 out of Egypt; and so that will accord exactly with the four hundred years here, and in Genesis, which are assigned to 〈◊〉 seeds 〈◊〉 in a strange land; by this strange land both 〈◊〉 and Egypt being to be understood; for the Chaldee Paraphrast, and the generality of the Jews, determine the space wherein they 〈◊〉 in Egypt, to be but two hundred and ten years, only Josephus defineth it to be two hundred and fifteen. Dr. Hammond Annot. a.

Ezek. 9. 2. What this is, who knoweth not? It was to mark them in the forehead that mourned for the sins of the City, verse. 3. that they might be kept safe.

So in the spiritual fall from faith to Idolatry, which the Apocalypse revealeth, an Angel cometh from the East, and sealeth a great number, Revel. 7. Annot.

Yoke]

;;An instrument of wood or iron, to join men, or oxen, or other creatures together; serving either to tame or to punish. A material yoke.

;;2. Afflictions for sin, or the cross sent from God. Lam. 3. 17. It is good for a man to 〈◊〉 the yoke from his youth. This is the yoke of tribulation.

;;3. Our grievous sins which be the cause of our afflictions, Lam. 1. 14. The yoke of my transgressions is bound upon my hands. This is the yoke of our sins.

;;4. The cruel bondage, wherein Tyrants keep God's people. Isa. 9. 5. Thou hast broken the yoke of their burden. This is the yoke of oppression.

;; Yoke also signifieth servitude, Gen. 27. 40. Lev. 26. 13. Isa. 9 4. & 10. 27. Jer. 27. 8, 11. Edom broke the yoke when Edom rebelled against Judah, and made them a King in 〈◊〉 ' s time, 2 King. 8. 20, 22.

;;7. The Law of Moses with a strict condition of performing it perfectly. Act. 15. 10. To lay a yoke upon them, which neither our Fathers nor we were able to bear. This is the yoke of perfect obedience to the Law. A Metaphor.

The yoke of Christ, is,

• 1. The Cross of Christ.
• 2. The service we owe to Christ. Both are easy, Mat. 11. 29.

The Cross is so,

• 1. Because Christ hath taken away the sting thereof, which is sin, and hath undergone the curse, Gal. 3. 13.
• 2. God is at peace with us, therefore the Saints rejoice in tribulation, Rom. 5. 3.
• 3. Afflictions produce the quiet 〈◊〉 of righteousness, Heb. 12. An eternal weight of glory, 2 Cor. 4. 17.
• 4. They are short, Rom. 8. 18. 2 Cor. 4. 17.
• 5. Christ measureth them according to our strength, 1 Cor. 10. 13.
• 6. He giveth his holy Spirit to comfort his servants in the midst of tribulation, 2 Cor. 1. 4, 5.

2. His service is an easy yoke to the regenerate, 1 Joh. 5. 3.

• 1. They have a new nature wrought in them, which hath a great 〈◊〉 with, and likeness unto the service of Christ; this change the Lord promises to work in his servants, when he would have them serve him, Deut. 30. 6, 11, 14. Ezek. 11. 19, 20. & 36. 27, 28. Jer. 31. 33.
• 2. Because of the assistance continually given by God the Father, Son and holy Ghost, The Father daily repaireth decayed strength, with new supplies of grace; he willeth us to repent, Joel 2. 12. and worketh it, Jer. 31. 18. To circumcise our hearts, Jerem. 4. 4. and promiseth that he will circumcise them, Deut. 30. 6. To love him, Deut. 10. 12. and sheddeth his love abroad in the heart, Rom. 5. 5.

The Son maketh it easy, because being engraffed in him, and joined to him, as our root and head, we receive daily influence of grace from him, Rom. 6. 4. Joh. 5. 21, 25. & 11. 25. Eph. 5. 14. & 3. 16, 20.

The Spirit maketh it easy, by quickening us when we are dull and dead, Rom. 8. 11, 26. Joh. 4. 14.

The Graces of the Spirit make it easy,

• 1 Faith is our victory that overcometh the world, 1 Joh. 5. 4.
• 2 Hope is a strong helmet of salvation, 1 Thess. 5. 8. and an anchor, Heb. 6. 18.
• 3 Love is a strong help, and blusheth at the name of difficulty; for it 〈◊〉 all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things, 1 Cor. 13. 7.

Yoke of his burden]

;;The burden put upon the people as a yoke, to wit, the corporal bondage of the Babylonians, and tyranny spiritual by Satan and sin; being eased of the former by Cyrus, and by Christ of the latter, Isa. 9. 4.

Put a heavy yoke, 2 Chr. 10. 11. Heb. laded, marg.

Yoked]

Be not unequally yoked, 2 Cor. 6. 14. Gr. diversely yoked. The Original 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 , may be diversely interpreted, either draw not down the beam, or any way incline to the part of the Infidels; or, be not unequally yoked, as when beasts of divers kinds, or of the same kind, but of divers stature and bigness, draw together. Or it may be rendered, draw not the other part of the yoke with Infidels; that is, be not any ways coupled with them. Annot.

Yoke-fellow]

Phil. 4. 3. The Apostle hereby understandeth not his Wife, as some of the Ancients imagined, for he had no Wife when he wrote his first Epistle to the Corinthians, as appears, 1 Cor. 7. 7. and we read not that ever he married afterwards; but either he understandeth the Husband of one of the Women he mentioned before, or some chief and principal Pastor, to whom the Epistles of the Apostles were usually addressed, and by them afterwards read before all the Congregation.

Thus doth the fig-tree betimes bring forth her first fruit (for it bringeth forth three or four times a year) that again and again it may be more fruitful. Doth it thus? How much more should mankind hasten the fruits of godliness, for advantaging the Lord with more fruits? Clapham.

;;2. Christ, who like a young Hart, makes haste to come to his beloved, Cant. 2. 9. My well-beloved is like a Roe, or young Hart.

Young men]

Youth]

Fourishing age, the time of rejoicing, Eccles. 11. 9.

It is vain, Eccl. 12. 2. in respect of affliction, Gen. 21. 15, 16, 17. in respect of sin, whereunto that age is incident, Jer. 31. 19. Isa. 54. 4. for the sins committed in youth, Job 20. 11. Gen. 21. 9. Act. 7. 57.

The 〈◊〉 of youth is,

• 1. To fear God, Gen. 39. 8, 9. 1 King. 18. 12. 2 Chr. 34. 3.
• 2. To observe his Commandments, Mat. 19. 20. Mar. 10. 20. 1 Joh. 2. 13, 14.

• 4. To renounce the pleasures of the world, 1 Joh. 2. 15.

• 6. To bear the yoke of the Lord, Lam. 3. 27.
• 7. To be employed in the service of God, and fighting against Satan, 1 Joh. 2. 14, 15, 16.

It is the age wherein men are readiest to fall by sin, because of the strength of affections and heat of lusts: Example in the Prodigal, Luk. 15. the path-way thereof is foolishness, Prov. 22. 15. which leadeth to destruction, Ibid.

It ought to be cured by the wholesome information of the Word, Psal. 119. 9.

Zachariah]

(called also Zacharias, Luk. 1. 5.) Mindful of the Lord; or, a man of the Lord. The Son of Jeroboam slain by 〈◊〉 , 2 King. 14. 29. & 15. 8, 10. The Father of Abi, the Wife of Hezekiah, Ib. 18. 2. One of the Porters, 1 Chr. 15. 18. A door-keeper for the Aik, Ib. 24. A Ruler of the House of God, 2 Chr. 35. 8. A Priest, Neh. 12. 41. The Father of John the Baptist, Luk. 3. 2. The Son of Barachias, Mat. 23. 35.

Zacharias]

Son of Barachias, whom ye slew between the Temple and the Altar, Matth. 23. 35. Who this 〈◊〉 was, is questioned among learned men, and it falls out there were very many of the name, to each of whom some part of this character here set is competible. There was Zacharias the Prophet, the Son of Barachiah, Zach. 1. 1. A second Zacharias was the Father of John the Baptist. There was a third, and he a Prophet, and slain by the people, at Joash' s command, 2 Chr. 24. 19, 20, 21. There is yet a fourth Zacharias, and he (saith Josephus lib. 4. c. 〈◊〉 .) 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 , the Son of Baruch, which might well be all one with Barachias, as we know Ananus is with Ananias, and he was slain by the Jewish Zealots, 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 , in the midst of the Temple, and that so immediately before the siege at Jerusalem, that as Christ mentions Abel the first that was slain, so he might very fitly mention this Zacharias also, as the last instance of their bloudiness upon holy and eminent men. This I find to have been pitched on in the Spanish Bible of Cypriane de Valera, where upon this verse is this note, whom ye killed, i. e. shall kill; He foretelleth the history of Zacharias the Son of Baruch, which Josephus de bello Judaico describeth, whereby the measure was filled up, verse. 32. for which Jerusalem was destroyed. The only objection against this, is the 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 , whom ye stew, whereas this man was not now slain at the time of Christ's speaking. But this is readily answered:

• 1. That the Aorist may fitly be rendered, whom ye shall have slain; and that it must be so, because the blood of Christ, and Stephen, James, and all that should fall by them in those 〈◊〉 years, was contained in the 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 , all the righteous blood, here mentioned, as ingredients in that judgment on the Jews.
• 2. It's ordinary in 〈◊〉 to use the time past for the 〈◊〉 . And so Rev. 2. 19. when Antipas is mentioned, 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 , who was killed (who yet was not killed till after the time of that vision) it's clear it must be so taken. So 1 Thess. 2. 16. speaking of the destruction of the Jews, verse. 15. which was not then come at the writing of that Epistle, he saith 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 in the Aorist, the wrath of God overtook them, or came hastily upon them, 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 , to a 〈◊〉 utter destruction, i. e. their measure of iniquity is filled up, and so this destruction secured to them, as if it were already fallen on them. And this is the most full interpretation of the place, and clear from all difficulty. Dr. Ham. Annot. g. See more hereof in the word Zechariah.

He was of Jericho 〈◊〉 by Joshua, from this 〈◊〉 he is delivered by Christ.

Zadok]

Justified, 〈◊〉 . Mat. 1. 14. In this sense was his 〈◊〉 , as is alleged, The just God of heaven and earth, look down upon our miseries, and help us. This, or such like was the prayer of Azor his Father, requesting God 〈◊〉 the defense of his people; and according to his prayers, and the prayers of other godly ones, the Lord was looking in mercy upon his people, and began to remember his covenant made to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; and therefore he of his infinite mercy was 〈◊〉 the coming of his Son Jesus into the world, in whom all his distressed people were to find mercy. The occasion of this prayer arose from the vexations and troubles they suffered under the Kings of Syria and Egypt; which waxed more and more grievous and intolera ble unto them.

Two notable virtues beseeming such a Father and a Son; a wise man will love peace, and by all means follow after it; but fools are the author of discord. This word is written with 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 , Ruth 4. 21.

Zalmon]

〈◊〉 ]

A man to whom secrets are revealed; or in the Egyptian tongue, a Savior of the world. The name which Pharaoh gave Joseph, Gen. 41. 45. because Joseph by his storing up of provision against a general famine, was a means to preserve them from perishing by famine. But this is rejected by some. However, the imposition of new names in the Egyptian, as in the Persian Court, was a reflection of honor and worship, saith Don Joseph. And a considerable circumstance of this reputation it needs must be, that the names should be given out of the Princes own tongue, from whom the honor descended. See Mr. Gregory' s Notes and Observations, p. 62, 63, &c.

These extraordinary motions in the birth import great consequences. For the first place was appointed to Phares, howsoever Zarah aimed at it.

Zeal]

;;Increase of affections; as of grief, joy, hatred, love. Joh. 2. 17. The zeal of thy house hath eaten me up. Rev. 3. 19. Be zealous and amend.

;;Note. Zeal cometh of a Greek word, which is ( 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 ) and signifieth to be servant, hot as fire: ( 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 ) which is emulation, and is put in good or ill part, which shall be discerned by the context or circumstances being well marked.

;;2. An honest and commendable 〈◊〉 , kindled in our hearts, to imitate or go beyond others in well doing. 2 Cor. 9. 2. Your zeal hath provoked many. Tit. 2. 14. Zealous so good works. 1 Cor. 12. 31, 39. Gal. 4 18.

;;3. An earnest desire of doing good things belonging unto us, and of hindering evil things, being joined with sound knowledge and hearty love of God's glory, and of our neighbors good. 2 Cor. 7. 11. Yea what zeal? Col. 4. 13. I bear him record that he hath a great zeal for you. Thus far it is taken in good part.

;;4. Earnestness of affection in good things, when neither the manner nor end of doing is good. Such was the zeal of Jehu, 2 King. 10. 6. and of the Jews, Rom. 10. 2. They have the zeal of God, but not according to knowledge. Also of Paul, being a Pharisee, Act. 22. 3. And was zealous towards God. Here it is taken in ill part. Gal. 1. 14. Act. 21. 20.

;;5. Fierce and fiery bitterness, when men are earnest and hot in a bad cause. Phil. 3. 6. Concerning zeal, I persecuted the Church. Here it is taken in ill part.

;;6. Envy, indignation, Act. 5. 17. Also 7. 9. & 17. 5. The Jews moved with zeal, or envy. The Greek word translated Envy, or Indignation, doth signify zeal in ill part, Act. 13. 45. & 17. 5. 1 Cor. 3. 3, 13, 14. 2 Cor. 11. 20. Gal. 5. 20.

;;7. The most earnest love of God, for the good of his Church, and his own glory. Isa. 9. 7. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this. Isa. 37. 32. Here it is taken in good part.

;;Unto true Christian zeal there be these six things required.

• ;;1. A desire and lust after something which is truly good, or against something which is evil indeed.
• ;;2. That in this desire there be earnestness and vehemency.
• ;;3. That there be a grief for the want of this good thing we desire, or for some abuse done to it.
• ;;4. That this desire and grief be tempered with charity and discretion.
• ;;5. That we seek not our own, but God's glory.
• ;;Lastly, that all this do proceed and come from sincere and distinct knowledge of the Lord, Gal. 4. 18. Rom. 10. 3. 1 Cor. 10. 31.

Zeal is a mixed affection of grief and anger, flowing from love; for what a man loveth earnestly, he is careful to see it honored, and grieved when it is dishonored.

The sorts of it are many; for according as our love and grief are, so is our Zeal. If upon the right objects, moderate, in due measure, it causeth a zeal which is holy and spiritual; otherwise, if our love be inordinate, it begets a carnal and inordinate zeal.

Sometimes the Zeal is not upon the right object, and then it may be great, but it cannot be good; as the zeal of Heretics, who compass Sea and Land to make one of their own profession.

Sometimes it is on the right object, not in due measure; either too cold, which is remission and slackness; or too hot, which is superstition. Of these faith the Apostle, Rom. 10. 2. 〈◊〉 is a zeal not according to knowledge; a zeal which tendeth to death, not to life.

It is threefold.

• 1. Divine; which is twofold; one without knowledge, another with knowledge.

  The first was in Paul, Gal. 1. 14. Act. 8. 9. It is erroneous, being made void of the knowledge of the Will of God, yet having an opinion of true knowledge of his Will; hence the mind is inflamed with a love of the glory of God, and indignation against those it thinks (though falsely) to be his enemies; so that it tends wholly to the hindering, yea ruin of them.

  Zeal with knowledge, hath the knowledge of the Will of God going before it, as the cause thereof, and it burneth with a love of the Word of God, and hatred of those things that hinder or seem to hinder the course thereof; and it is either seasonable, as in Moses, 〈◊〉 , Elias, David, Psal. 119. 139. and in Christ: or unseasonable, as of divers mentioned by Eusebius, lib. 4. c. 15. who not being urged by any enemy, offered themselves to the fire.

• 2. Human zeal is twofold. One of duty, another against it.

The first is of divers sorts.

• 1. Honest.
• 2. Gracious.

Honest, as of the Husband not enduring a companion in his love; hence the word is transferred to God, who is said to be jealous, when he will admit of no corrival in his worship; or when he will not endure that the soul of man, being married unto himself, should go a whoring after other gods; wherefore idolatry in Scripture is called spiritual adultery, and fornication.

Gracious zeal is,

• 1. Unto grace; which is an ardent desire of the knowledge of piety and true Religion, as was in Nicodemus and Cornelius.

• 2. Unto life; this causeth a man that he will not yield to anything that may deprive him of Christ, but rather to suffer death, or any torment, then to be drawn from the truth of Christ; as in Stephen, Act. 7. 2.

  Secondly, against duty, is the filthy desire of lascivious and wanton men, who have given themselves to wantonness, and lust, instead of the true God, Eph. 4. 17. and honest Matrimony; this zeal grieves the Spirit, and drives it out of the heart.

• 2 Unto death, as with them who burn with hatred against the true worship of God; as in Cain, the Scribes and 〈◊〉 .
• 3. Devillish; as of Turks, Jews, and Papists, who are driven by the spirit of Satan to 〈◊〉 the truth; but true is he who hath said, the gates of hell shall not prevail against it, Mat. 16. 18.

To guide it aright, these virtues must still attend zeal:

• 1. The light of knowledge, that it may both begin and end with the Word.
• 2. Good discretion; it must be wise as well as warm; in greater matters greater, and lesser in lesser.
• 3. Sincere affection, abandoning all by-respects, besides the glory of God, desire of men's good, and conscience of the good duty itself. Taylor on Tit. 2. 14. P. 529, 530. See Mr. Samuel Ward his Coals from the Altar.

The Brother of Beerah, 1 Chr. 5. 6, 7. The Son of 〈◊〉 , Ibid. 9. 21. The Son of 〈◊〉 , Ibid. 37. A Singer, Ibid. 15. 20. The Son of Ishiah, Ibid. 24. 25. The Son of Hosah, Ibid. 26. 11. The Father of Iddo, Ib. 27. 21. One of Jehoshaphat' s Princes, 2 Chr. 17. 7. The Son of Benaiah, Ib. 20. 14. The Son of Jehoshaphat, Ib. 21. 2. The Son of Jehoiada, Ib. 24. 20. One who had understanding in the Visions of God, Ib. 26. 5. Hezekiah his Father in Law, Ib. 29. 1. Of the Sons of Asaph, Ib. 13. Of the Sons of Parosh, Ezra 8. 3. The Son of Bebai, Ib. 11. Of the Sons of Elam, Ezra 10. 26. The Son of Amariah, Neh. 11. 4. The Son of Shiloni, Ib. 5. The Son of Pashur, Ib. 12. The Son of 〈◊〉 , Nch. 12. 35. The Son of Jeberechiah, Isa. 8. 2. A Prophet, the Son of Barachiah, Zech. 1. 1.

Touching Jehoiada the Father of Zachariah (whose Son was stoned with stones at the commandment of the King, 2 Chr. 24. 21. thought to be the 〈◊〉 mentioned by our Savior, Mat. 23. 35.) It's alleged for the justification of this opinion, that he had two names signifying the same thing in effect. For Jehoiada signifieth, acknowledged of the Lord; and Barachiah, blessed of the Lord. By which last name he was called, because of the holiness of his life, and his excellent merits both of the Church and Common-wealth. And although his death was long before Christ, yet it is by him imputed to the Jews living in the time of Christ, because they resembled the wicked lives of their Ancestors, Mat. 23. 35. Luke 11. 51. Where he seemeth to speak of this, rather then any other of that name, because at his death he uttered 〈◊〉 words, The Lord look upon it, and require it, 2 Chr. 24. 22. As the blood of Abel is said to cry unto God (requiring revenge upon Cain ) Gen. 4. 10. so that which Christ saith of Zacharias slain by the Jews between the porch and the Altar, agreeth well with that which is spoken of the Son of Jehoiada, 2 Chr. 24. 21. Yet some refer these words of Christ to Zachariah the Prophet, whose Fathers name was Barachias, Zach. 1. 1, 7. and the manner of Christ's account seems to persuade to it; who reckoning up the innocent blood shed by the Jews, begins at Abel, and ends in the last of the holy Prophets; whereas after the other Zachariah, many other Prophets and holy men were put to death.

Moreover, it seems to be without warrant to turn Jehoiada' s name into Barachias, or to say Zechariah' s Progenitors were Iddo, Barachias, Jehoiada, seeing no such thing appears in the Genealogy.

Again, it seems not unlikely that that Zechariah, 2 Chr. 24. 20. was slain in the Court of the people, after he had preached unto them, standing in a high place among them, as the 20 & 21. verses seem to import. But the Zechariah in Matthew, was slain in the Court of the Priests, viz. between the Temple and the Altar, whither (being assaulted) he ran for Sanctuary, as others before him had done, though they were no Priests, as it may be Zachariah the Prophet was not.

Some refer it to the Father of John the Baptist, whom (they say) the Jews killed for the testimony he gave of Christ come in the flesh; and of Mary, after her bringing 〈◊〉 of Christ, remained a Virgin. So that Christ meant to name the first Martyr Abel, and the last, to wit, this 〈◊〉 newly then killed. But this last is without ground. The first opinion is most agreeable to the truth, seeing it is nowhere recorded that the Prophet Zechariah was slain, as Christ saith, seeing the Temple and Altar were not repaired in his time. See Glass. Philol. lib. 1. p. 189, &c.

And Simon called Zealots, Luk. 6. 15. In Mat. 10. 4. he is 〈◊〉 , the 〈◊〉 . Many Greek Copies have 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 , others 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 , and 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 . The word comes not from the name of a place, as a 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 , but from 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 , and 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 , zeal, from whence is 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 , which with the Greek termination 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 , is directly 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 , a zelote. The Syriac hath 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 , 〈◊〉 , which seems to be the version of 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 . The matter is clear, that this Simon, Luk. 6. 15. & Act. 1. 13. is called 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 , the Zelote, and 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 and 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 are as perfectly the same as 〈◊〉 and 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 , Tabitha and 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 , and the like. Of these Zealots so famous among the Jews, many mentions we have in sacred Writ. Phinces is looked on as the first to whom that name was competible, for his slaying the 〈◊〉 pair in the very fact, which Matlathias in his dying speech calls his 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 , 〈◊〉 zeal, 1 Mac. 2. 54. And 〈◊〉 him Elias in his apprehending the Prophets of 〈◊〉 , and 〈◊〉 them, 1 King. 18. 40. which again Mattathias calls 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 , having zeal os the Law, verse. 58. And such was this 〈◊〉 , and his Son Judas, &c. which without any 〈◊〉 calling 〈◊〉 upon them to destroy the 〈◊〉 of the Temple, and were thereupon called 〈◊〉 , which signifies Zealots. In aftertimes, from these beginnings, great distempers and flames broke out; a multitude of men 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 of being zealous for the Law, and honor of God, under the name of 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 , Zealots, committing all the riots and bloodiness imaginable, as Josephus mentioneth. These 〈◊〉 this name of Zealot upon themselves, as if their 〈◊〉 were good and honorable, and not (as indeed they were) cmulous of the worst deeds immaginable, and even out-stripping all. These ( 〈◊〉 a Sect having its Original from Judas 〈◊〉 , and Sad ducus ) were pernicious to the 〈◊〉 , and did not only accelerate their total destruction, but withal made it so miserable and calamitous, when it came. There is little doubt, but that this Simon was himself one of this Sect, and so called by that name 〈◊〉 the Zealot. Dr. Ham. on Mat. 10. 4. Annot. c.
