;;2. Deceit, guile, and fraud. Ephes. 4. 14. By the deceit of men, and with craftiness. Here it is taken in ill part.

Craftiness]

Job 5. 13. In their own witty devices, whereby they thought to ruin others. So did Haman perish, Est. 9. 25. God useth their craft to their own destruction; as if a strong man should beat back the enemies weapon upon himself, whereby he intended to hurt others, Jer. 21. 4. Or it may be a Metaphor taken from catching of birds in nets or snares. God useth their crafty devices, intended as nets to catch others, to catch themselves, Psal. 7. 5, 16, & 9. 15, 16. & 35. 7, 8. & 141. 10. Annot.

Annot, A Workman, or Handycrafts-man, employing-his skill and pains about things unlawful and unwarrantable, Acts 19. 24, 38.

Crafty]

Job 5. 12. Sometimes the word is taken in a good sense, Prov. 1. 4. & 8. 12. & 22. 3. but most commonly in a bad sense, for such as use their wisdom to hurt others, Gen. 3. 1. Psal. 83. 3. and so here some think the word signifies, one that hath many turnings and windings in his mind, as the Serpent had in his body, Gen. 3. 1. It comes from a word that signifies naked, because such as show tricks of activity use to strip themselves naked. The same word signifies naked and 〈◊〉 , Gen. 2. 25. & 3. 1. 〈◊〉 .

Prudent, wise, 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 ; (of 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 & 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 ) One who through the dexterity of his wit is ready and fit for any work, 2 Cor. 12. 16. Leigh Crit. Sac.

Crane]

Hereof mention is made, Isa. 38. 14. where it's said to chatter, and Jer. 8. 7. to observe the time of its coming. It's easily tamed, and taught to leap, dance, &c. It's most tender of its young ones, loveth both to feed and fly in company of its own kind. In their flying they use this order; The most experienced amongst them flieth foremost, as their Captain: In the middle follow the young and less skillful; in the rear, such as are strong and skillful: If their Leader wax weary or hoarse, another takes his place. They fly high, that they may see the place whither they fly; when they fly swiftly, it's to avoid a tempest, and in their flying they make a noise, that they may not stray one from another. In the night some of them watch by turns, holding little stones in one of their feet, that they may be kept awake. When secking warmer places, they fly over the sea, they fly in a tryangular form. In summer they return to the places which they left in winter. To prevent the danger of Eagles, they take little stones in their mouths, that they may make no noise. When they fly not in order, they foresee a tempest. If any of their company be wanting, by making a continual noise, they recall them. The juice of the vine is deadly unto them. They sometimes fight together, and will rather become a prey to the Hunters, then agree one with another. But others say, that though at some time they are eager in fight, yet they are quickly reconciled.

Crashing]

Breaking or bruising, great noiles of the falling of houses, and 〈◊〉 of men, Zeph. 1. 10. See Hall.

Created]

Rev. 10. 6. 〈◊〉 created the heaven and the earth — and the sea, &c. These tokens of God's 〈◊〉 are brought, to show God's power in all these places, as being Creator of them, and consequently both Lord over them, and able to do whatsoever he will with them, and in them.

;;The distribution of Creatures is divers; some in Heaven above, some beneath in the earth, and some in the waters under the earth, Exod. 〈◊〉 . 4. Again, Creatures are either visible or invisible, Col. 1. 16. Moreover, some creatures have a being only; as Heaven and Earth; Meteors in the one, and Metals in the other: or a being and life also; as Plants, and Beasts, which with life have senses joined: or Being, Life, and light of understanding and reason, as Angels and Men, Joh. 1. 3, 4, 5. All these creatures made of nothing, immediately or mediately; also the several forms of every creature (and not the matter only) were made by the word of God out of nothing. (God said) Gen. 1. 3.

;;And lastly, both matter and form, bodies simple and compound, were made by God's Almightyness, without tool or instrument, passion or motion, or change, and that suddenly, and in a moment by his infinite power, as easily as the speaking of a word: which serveth greatly both for establishment of our faith in God, and for amendment of our life. How much are we bound to trust and depend upon, and also to fear and obey such an omnipotent Creator, so full of wisdom and goodness?

;; Creatio est 〈◊〉 entis, or as Aquinas saith, Est producto rei secundum totam substantiam ex nihilo.

;;The Hebrew word (Bara) which is Englished (Create) beside the primary and most proper signification, which is to bring creatures from no being to a being, it is in Scripture applied unto sundry other operations of God; as,

Thus 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 & 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 are all one, the creature and the world, all the creation, as verse. 22. and all the world, Mar. 16. 15. Dr. Ham. Annot. d.

An heinous crime, Job 31. 11. The word signifies a plotted sin, such an one as natural corruption doth not ordinarily suggested, but men must beat their wits to invent and execute it.

Isa. 1. 18. Some of the Rabbins take this to be a deeper color then the Scarlet, and so in reason it should be, if they be several colors. But others of them affirm them to be one and the same. They are most commonly joined together, as importing one and the same thing. The genuine notion of either may be, the Scarlet grain of crimson, or of the worm, that is to say, the worm, or crimson grain, (for thereof hath the Crimson its name, from the worm, and not from the grain) and the worm of the Scarlet grain, or the grainy worm, or Crimson.

;;6. Such afflictions as the faithful suffer for Christ, and for righteousness. Gal. 6. 14. God forbid that I should rejoice but in the cross of Christ. This is a special Cross peculiar to Christians.

To take up his Cross]

To adore and fear him, and denying ourselves to rest our spirits in him, is to put the crown upon his head, is to become mothers and brethren, and sisters to him, Mat. 12. 50. The Apostle saith of the Churches, that by obeying the form of doctrine which he had delivered, they were a crown to him, Phil. 4. 1. & 1 Thess. 2. 19. so does every conformable and humble Christian bestow a Crown on Christ by walking worthy of him, and their several graces and duties are bright jewels set in it.

The reward of life given to Saints in heaven, when they have striven as they ought to do, and gotten the victory, is called a Crown, 2 Tim. 2. 5. or a Garland, by allusion to a custom that was among the Grecians, for such as got the mastery in their games of wrestling, or running, or the like, were crowned with a Garland in token of victory.

Or,

• 1. because it is given only to such as strive and overcome.

;;To make one year (for outward blessings) so far exceed and excel another, as a crowned King excelleth his Subjects. Psal. 65. 11. Thou crownest the year with thy goodness.

Crowning]

Isa. 23. 8. or, the crowned; namely, the royal City, which hath the title of a kingdom. Ezek. 28. 2, 12. Deod. Or, that She-crowner; to wit, that City which not only assumed the title of a 〈◊〉 Queen but also crowned all her inhabitants and merchants, with joys and honor, making many of them as Princes. D. Annot.

So is Tyre termed either as a stately Princess, (being a royal City, 〈◊〉 . 25. 22. & 27. 3.) wearing a goodly rich Crown, Ezek. 27. 3. & 28. 12, — 14. or, as one that crowneth her followers, and favorites, her merchants, and inhabitants, with wealth and state, Ezek. 27. 33. Annot.

〈◊〉 be crucified among you]

;;Christ crucified, by the most plain and evident preching of Paul, to be in such sort set forth to the Galatians, as if they had seen him die among them, they could not have had a more lively portraiture or image of his death. After this plain and clear sort is Christ his passion represented in the Sacrament of the Supper, Gal. 3. 1. Before whose eyes Jesus hath been crucified among you. Therefore no such obscurity and hardness is to be found in the writings of holy Scriptures, as Romanists pretend: neither ought Papists to trouble themselves with Crucifixes to remember Christ, or profane persons to scorn plain and simple preaching, without wisdom of words.

〈◊〉 be crucified with Christ]

;;To obtain this by faith in Christ, that, that death of his Cross which hath merited reconciliation, should be effectual to mortify and subdue the concupiscences of the flesh. Gal. 2. 20. I am crucified with Christ.

;;A Christian by earnest and devout meditation of the death of the Son of God, joined with the curse of God, groweth unto an inward true loathing of those his sins which were so dearly ransomed, with care and watchfulness not to offend so gracious a Savior; which is our being crucified with Christ.

Crucified]

;;Slain, and put cruelly to death, either by the death of the Cross, or any other kind of violent death. Rev. 11. 8. Where our Lord also was crucified. Christ our Lord was not slain at Rome (whereof this Text speaks, by the figure of Sodom and Egypt ) otherwise then in his members, according to that which is said, Act. 9. 5. Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? Yet Christ was sentenced to death by a Roman Governor, and to a kind of death peculiar to the Romans.

In respect of the place, our Lord Jesus was crucified at Jerusalem, but if we respect the power and authority that put him to death, he was crucified at Rome, for Christ was put to death by a Roman Judge, by Roman laws, by Roman authority, by a kind of death proper only to the Romans, and in a place which then was within the Roman Empire. Leigh' s Annot.

A Metaphor or speech borrowed from condemned malefactors, which lie fast tied in bonds and cords in the stench of the prison, or some ugly loathsome dungeon, till they be thence drawn out to execution: so are the Devils held surely in torments most grievous till the last judgment, when God's wrath shall to the full fall upon them. Whereunto that speech of the unclean spirits in the Gospel seemeth to have relation, Art thou come to torment us before the time? The Devils are so punished already, as with continual trembling they do expect more torment, as the Malefactor doth which is kept close ond safe in prison after his sentence.

Darkness over all the Land]

It's taken also for the Congregation, or Common-wealth, Psal. 137. 8. & 9. 15. All the women of a City, Cant. 1. 5. Or, Common-wealth and Kingdom, 2 Sam. 1. 24. Isa. 16. 2. Branches of trees, Gen. 49. 22. marg. Ones Sons wife, Ruth. 3. 18. Women, Gen. 34. 1. Ones sister, Gen. 34. 17. One that imitareth another in holiness, 1 Pet. 3. 6. A word used for comfort and encouragement, Ruth. 3. 10. Mat. 9. 22.

Daughter of Belial]

1 Sam. 1. 16. put for, A wicked woman.

The daughters of Egypt]

Jer. 46. 11. of Babylon, Jer. 51. 33. Edom, Lam. 4. 21. Moab, Isa. 16. 2. Sodom, &c. Ezek. 16. 46. for Egypt, Babylon, Edom, Moab, Sodom, &c.

Princes Daughter]

Cant. 7. 1. This title belongeth only to such as believe in Christ, which are born not of bloods, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God, Joh. 1. 13. The word may be rendered, Daughter of the beautiful, or bounteous Princes daughter, or of the Prince, the 〈◊〉 ; for Princes were styled bountiful, or benefactors, Luk. 22. 25. as being free, liberal, and willing to do good unto others. Hereby is signified that she was of noble race, and ingenuous disposition, ready and willing to serve the Lord, and propogate the grace of his Gospel 〈◊〉 others Ainsworth.

Daughters]

Ezek. 27. 16. or Cities, marg. 1 Pet. 3. 6. Gr. children, marg.

Daughters]

;;Strange Nations and people, which do admire the glory of the Church, Cant. 6. 9. The daughters have seen her, and counted her blessed.

The congregations of people's; as the Scriptures mention, the Daughter of Jerusalem, the daughter of Tyrus, and many the like. So is my love among the daughters, Cant. 2. 2. Ainsworth.

The word Daughters when absolute and solitary hath seldom a good sense, like women that lose their good name, not only by keeping ill company, but by keeping none. As these are exceeded by the Church in beauty, so shall they be at last in power; they outgrow and distress her for the present, but that flourishing is but like the crackling of thorns under the pot, which the fire of the Lord's jealousy shall consume like dry 〈◊〉 , Isa. 27. 4. Annot.

Careless Daughters]

Isa. 32. 9. for Cities abounding in riot and excess of all pleasures dreaming of nothing else but safety and ease.

Daughters of Jerusalem]

;;Women which dwelt at Jerusalem. Luk. 23. 28. Daughters of Jerusalem weep not for me. And often in the Book of Lamentation, it is so taken.

;;2. Churches begotten by the Word, which came forth from Jerusalem: as afore, Cant. 1. 2. O ye daughters of Jerusalem.

;;It is usual in Scripture, by Daughters to signify Churches or Congregations. The reason is, because every chief City was counted a Mother. 2 Sam. 20. 19. Thou seekest to destroy a City and a Mother in Israel, (whereupon the Apostle calleth Jerusalem, the Mother of us all, Gal. 4. 26.) The Villages that were near and pertained to such Cities, are called Daughters, Josh. 15. 45. 2 Chr. 13. Psal. 68. 11. And the Inhabitants there seated, or assemblies of people resorting thither, are likewise called Daughters, as being bred, born, and nourished there. See Lam. 2. 19. Mat. 21. 5. Zach. 9. 9. Jer. 4. 11, &c.

Daughters of Jerusalem]

;;Either false sisters of the Church, the degenerate assemblies of Idolaters, or the particular Congregations, begotten of the Word, which came out of Jerusalem. The latter interpretation is the better, Cant. 2. 7. I charge ye O Daughters of Jerusalem.

The Daughters of Jerusalem were nothing else but herself in her distinct parts and branches. Annot.

The friends of Christ and his Church, the Elect of God, though not yet perfectly instructed in the way of the Lord, Cant. 5. 8, 9. & 6. 1. As the Villages belonging to 〈◊〉 City, are usually called the daughters of that City, Numb. 21. 21, 25. 1 Chr. 7. 28. So Jerusalem which is above is the mother of us all, Gal. 4. 26. whose daughters are the particular Churches and Christians called Virgins, 2 Cor. 11. 2. Rev. 14. 4. and Sodom and Samaria are prophesied of, that they should be given to Jerusalem for daughters, Ezek. 16. 61. and thus in Psal. 45. 13, 14. The Kings daughter (the Church) is brought 〈◊〉 the King in raiment of Needlework, and Virgins her friends after her. Ainsworth.

Hereof mention is also Cant. 3. 5, 10. and in v. 11. where they are termed the daughters of Zion, so in chap. 5. 8. 16. and in chap. 8. 4.

Daughters of singing]

;;The ears which take delight in music. Eccl. 12. 4. And all the daughters of singing shall be 〈◊〉 .

David]

;;Properly, such a man so called, the Son of Jesse, King of Israel, to whom was made the promise of the Messiah to come of his seed, and to sit upon his throne by just succession: but typically and figuratively Christ the spiritual King of his Church, of whom David both in peace and war, in trouble, and in regard of enemies of all kinds, did carry a most clear figure and representation, as in Isa. 9. 7. Jer. 33. 14, 15, 16, 17, 18. Hos. 3. 4, 5. Psal. 22. throughout. Solomon in the Dedication of the Temple, taking on him the Priestly function of praying and teaching, was a type of Christ, 2 Chr. 6. 1, 2, 3, &c. 2 Sam. 7. 15, 16, 17, &c. Psal. 132. 11, 12, &c. Isa. 11. 1.

;; David: ;;

• ;;1. The King of Judah, and Father of Solomon. ;;
• ;;2. Christ himself coming of David's kindred, Jer. 30. 9. Ezek. 34. 23. & 37. 24, 25.;;

The word signifieth Beloved.

David: The name of one of the Sons of Jesse, a King of Israel, a type of Christ in his unction, vocation, enemies, adversaries, deliverances: Also sometime it signifieth Christ the King and only Savior of his people. Hos. 3. 5.

David]

Thy neck is like the tower of David, Cant. 4. 4. mention is made hereof in Neh. 3. 19, 25. or the fort of Zion which David took, and built, 2 Sam. 5. 7, 9. 〈◊〉 is meant that her neck was upright, high, and strong: for the neck is named in Hebrew 〈◊〉 , of firmness and strength, a Tower, ( Migdal ) is a building great and high, Isa. 2. 15. This signifieth the magnanimity and high courage, the sure hope, the bold and comfortable carriage of the Church, whilst she being by faith united unto Christ her head, doth no longer bow down her neck to bear the yoke of her enemies, to serve Satan and sin anymore, or to be a servant unto men, Rom. 6. 17, 18. 1 Cor. 7. 23. but by the weapons of her warfare (2 Cor. 10. 4.) she standeth, and withstandeth in the evil day, Eph. 6. 11, 17. Ainsworth. So in effect Annot.

David]

;;The Book of Psalms penned by David. A Metonymy. Saying in David, Heb. 4. 7.

Daunce]

It's either lawful or unlawful.

Lawful, ordinary, as at a seasonable time, Eccl. 3. 4. A feast, Judge. 21. 19, 21. Extraordinary, as Exod. 15. 20. 2 Sam. 6. 14. Judge. 11. 34. 1 Sam. 18. 6. Luk. 15. 25. Yea, and thus was the Lord to be praised, Psal. 149. 3. & 150. 4. Implying matter of mirth, and gladness, Lam. 5. 15. Jer. 31. 4.

Unlawful, as Exod. 32. 32. 19. 1 Sam. 30. 16. Mar. 6. 22. See Dancing.

Dawbe]

Taken properly, Exod. 2. 3, Figuratively, for to shut, spoken of God with relation unto Idolaters, Isa. 44. 18. marg. To use vain, frivolous, and flattering excuses and pretexts, spoken of foolish seducing Prophets, Ezek. 13. 3, 10, 11, &c. & 22. 28.

Dawbing]

Ezek. 13. 12. or plaistering. D. Trans. meaning their flattering predictions. Annot.

Dawn]

Mat. 28. 1. The Original 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 , signifieth to wax toward the light, although it be not light. Leigh C. S. To be light or clear, shine, appear, or show itself, 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 , 2 Pet 1 19.

Dawning of the day]

Job 3. 9. Heb. the eyelids of the morning, marg.

Dawning]

The Jews divided their night into four Watches. Each watch containing three lesser hours.

The first, Lam. 2. 19.

The second termed the Middle-watch. Judge. 7. 19. because it dured till mid-night.

The third held till three in the morning, Luk. 12. 38.

The fourth called the Morning-watch, Exod. 14. 24. ended at six in the morning.

The 1. was termed the Even.

The 2. Midnight.

The 3. Cock-crowing.

The 4. The 〈◊〉 . All expressed by our Savior, Mar. 13. 35. Goodwin.

Day]

;;The space of 24 hours, and this is the Natural day: or, of 12 hours, which is the Artificial day, Joh. 11. 9. Gen. 1. 4, 5. & 47. 9.

;; Note: Some begun the Day at Evening, some at Morning, some at Noon-day, some at Midnight. Moses saith, Evening and Morning were the first day. Gen. 1.

;;2. Time generally, Mat. 3. 1. In those days, Luk. 1. 5. Gen. 2. 4. and 17. In Gen. 1. 5. it is used both for the Artificial and Natural day.

;;3. The time of grace, under the light of the Gospel. Rom. 13. 12. The day is come. Also, verse. 13. Heb. 4. 7. Act. 3. 24. All the Prophets spake of these days. It signifies the Night, Isa. 10. 17. 2 King. 19. 35.

;;4. The light of truth, or the lightsome doctrine of heavenly truth, Joh. 9. 4. While it is day, 1 Cor. 3. 13. 1 Thess. 5. 8.

;;5. The space that a man liveth in, or doth any notable act, or suffereth any great thing. Joh. 8. 56. Abraham rejoiced to see my day: Also a point of time. Gen. 2. 17. That day, &c.

;;6. Year, Num. 14. 34. Ezek. 4. 6. One day shall be for a year, &c. Gen. 27. 46.

;;7. Judgment. 1 Cor. 4. 3. Or of man's day. So it is in the Original, for Judgment.

;;9. Judaical feasts and festivals appointed by the Law of God, as the Jewish Sabbath, Pentecost, Easter, feasts of Tabernables, or Expiation, of Trumpets, New Moons: These days some weak believers amongst the Jews did still observe and keep, through ignorance of their liberty, purchased by the Passion of our Lord, Rom. 14. 5. One man esteemeth one day 〈◊〉 another, &c. Such as expound this of choice of days, for abstinence and fasting, do much miss of the Apostles meaning and drift (howsoever some Fathers favor that Exposition, as Ambrose, Origen, Chrysostom, Anselm, &c.) For the Apostle laboreth to compound the Controversy between believing Jews and Gentiles, as is apparent by verse. 2. Also of such choice of days for meat, we read of none in the Apostles time, nor long after: Neither would he say that such did eat to the Lord, as by their own invention observed days for abstinence.

;;10. A time of opportunity, whether by day or by night, to do anything therein, whether good or evil, 1 Sam. 26. 8.;;

;;11. The New Testament in comparison of the Old, which is dark with shadows: so some understand, Rom. 13. 12.;;

;;12. The time of prosperity.;;

;;13. Any time of good opportunity, or opportunity to do good, 〈◊〉 . 9. 4.;;

It's also put for, The time present, 1 Sam. 6. 13. The time of God's judgments, Psal. 37. 13. time of life, Joh. 8. 56. Shortly, Job 23. 14. Any time, Gen. 2. 17. A while, 1 Sam. 9. 27. Suddenly, and in a moment, Rev. 18. 8. The time or continuance of ones reign, 1 King. 14. 20. The day of death or judgment, Luk. 21. 34.

It may be considered also by way of relation, as, The days of heaven, Deut. 11. 21. for, The time of the heavens continuance, The day of wrath, Rom. 2. 5. for, The time of punishment, Length of days, Psal. 91. 16. for Long life. Day of visitation, Isa. 1. 3. for, The time of God's judgments to be inflicted; or acoording to, 1 Pet. 2. 12. The day of mercy. All day long, Rom. 10. 21. for, Always, or upon every occasion. There's also mention of a day of battle, a day of tribulation, &c. which are easy to be understood.

Day]

Rev. 9. 15. 〈◊〉 was prepared for an hour and a day, &c. or, at an hour, &c. It may signify their readiness to go at any time, when they should be loosed. Or, to follow the work from time to time. Or, at the time appointed by God. Or, a short time, see chap. 3. 10. Or, the time of their coming to take Constantinople, from the beginning of their Empire, which is to be reckoned from their taking of Babylon, was 396. years, and some odd time, for days in the Prophets are put for years, verse. 5. 〈◊〉 .

This innumeration of the four parts of time, an hour, a day consisting of 24 hours, a month consisting of 30 days, a year consisting of 12 months, letteth us see the restless disposition of the Devil to do wickedly. He is ever prepared, if he be permitted. Cowper.

Day]

In the day when she shall be spoken of, Cant. 8. 8. or, wherein speech shall be of her, or unto her, or against her. The day of grace is not always at hand; he who is the Lord of times and seasons, hath ordained and appointed such opportunities, according to his own pleasure. As he came in the fullness of time; that is, the time decreed, and predetermined by himself; so did he ordain a time and set a day, for the visiting of the Gentiles, that they might be gathered into a settled Church, and called into the communion of the Covenant of grace, by the Gospel, which should be revealed. Annot.

When the fame of her calling and conversion shall come abroad, what furtherance shall we yield, to increase, settle, and stablish her in the truth? This showeth the duty of love from one Church to another in communicating their graces each to other, and praying one for another, Act. 11. 19, 22, 23. But inasmuch as no sooner do a people turn to the Lord, but the wicked do oppose in word and work: the Hebrews in their Chaldee Paraphrase expound the words here, What shall we do for our Sister in the day when the Nations shall speak to go up against her to war? Ainsworth.

Another day, today]

A certain day, 〈◊〉 . 4. 7.

Day-break]

;;The clear day of Christ his first coming in the flesh, by the fuller Revelation of himself, to chase away the shadows of the Law, in dark rites and ceremonies.

;;Also the perfect clear day of his second coming in glory, when all obscurity being done away, there shall beak forth a 〈◊〉 light, Cant. 2. 17. until the day break, and the shadows fly away.

Day by day, or daply offerings]

;;Our continual and daily prayers, and our set worship of God, acceptable to him by Christ, who was figured by the Lamb offered up every day in the morning and evening. Num. 28. 3. Offer daily two Lambs without spot. See the practice of Elias, 1 King. 18. 36. Dan. 9. 21. Cornelius, Act. 10. 23. for daily set prayers.

Day by day]

Luk. 11. 3. or for the day, marg.

From day today]

2 Sam. 13. 4. Heb. morning by morning, marg.

The great day of God Almighty]

Rev. 16. 14. wherein God shall show his Almighty power in destroying the Popish Princes. Chap. 19. 17. 〈◊〉 .

It is usual in holy Scripture to call that day a great day, wherein the Lord works any memorable and notable work, and so this battle of the great day, may signify, the battle of Arma-Geddon, wherein the 〈◊〉 of the Beast and his confederate Kings shall be overthrown, and God shall strike him with desolation. Cowper.

This will indeed be a great day, as whereof the judgment will be great and wonderful, the destruction of so many enemies. Pareus.

The great day of his wrath is come]

Rev. 6. 17. The day of vengeance which the blood of Martyrs called upon, and cried so loud for, verse. 10. See Isa. 34. 6, 8. Joel 2. 1, 2, 31. Annot.

Day of darkness]

;;Times of affliction and trouble, or sharp and hard times, Joel 2. 2. A day of darkness, and of blackness.

Darkness]

Rev. 16. 10. And his kingdom was full of darkness. By the destruction of the City of Rome, shall the Government and power of the Pope, which hitherto he hath used, be made extremely void, and all his dispatches or commissions suspended. But the Papacy shall not yet by this means be utterly dissolved, and taken away. For this doth follow afterwards, at the pouring of the Seventh vial, in the last war, in a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon. Clav. Apocal. pag. 105, 106. This plague is proportionable to his sin. In the first Trumpet God forewarned his Church, how the Beast figured there by a fallen star, (that is, an Apostate preacher ) having the key of the bottomless pit, should bring out a smoke to darken the sun and the air, Rev. 9. 1. which he did, therefore now the Lord with a punishment correspondent to his sin darkeneth his kingdom. In itself it is a kingdom of darkness; to them it is a principle, that ignorance is the Mother of devotion, but in this sense, the Lord is said to darken it, because he shall spoil it of all that credit and estimation which it had before in the world. 〈◊〉 .

High day]

Gen. 29. 7. Heb. the day is great, marg.

Holy day]

;;A day set a part to holy use. Isa. 58. 13. From 〈◊〉 thy will on my holy day. Such are to be consecrate 〈◊〉 the honor of God alone.

Day of the Lord, or of Christ]

;;The time of his coming in the 〈◊〉 to live amongst us. Luk. 17. 22. Ye shall desire to see one of the days of the Son of man. This time of Christ's life is called the day of his flesh. Heb. 5. 7. In the days of his flesh. Mal. 4. 1.

;;2. The Christians Sabbath called Sunday, Revel. 1. 10.;;

;;3. The time of some particular judgment of God upon some people or places, Joel 2. 1. Amos 1. Obad. v. 15.;;

;;4. The time of Christ's graces offered to a sinner, Luk. 17. 22.;;

;;5. The time of his second coming to judgment in glory and majesty. Luk. 17. 24. So shall the Son of man be in his day, 2 Pet. 3. 10. The day of the Lord shall come. This is called, The day of 〈◊〉 , Condemnation and Destruction, in respect of the wicked, Rom. 2. 5. 2 Pet. 5. 7. A day of Redemption and delivering in respect of the godly, who are then to be set frec from all kind of evils. Luk. 21. 28. A day of Revelation, in respect of all Men and Angels, who shall be then revealed and manifested what they be, and what they have done. A day of Judgment, 2 Pet. 2. 9. because therein all persons are to be tried and adjudged unto that condition and state unto which they must stick forever.

;;Finally, That day, by an excellency being the Last day, and Great day, full of Glory to Christ, of Joy to the Good, of Sorrow to the wicked, Joh. 6. 36. 2 Pet. 3. 11. After which there shall be no succession of Days and Nights, but one perpetual Day for the Righteous, and one perpetual Night for the Sinners and Ungodly.

The Lord's day]

;;The first day of the week, being the first day of the Creation, called commonly Sunday, Rev. 1. 10. I was ravished in the spirit on the Lord's day; so called, for that our Lord rising from death on that day, brought forth the light of a new and eternal world. It is also kept for Remembrance of the Mystery of our Lord's resurrection, on which day, for that end solemn assemblies were kept by the faithful, 1 Cor. 16. 2. Act. 20. 7. By our Lord's appointment. Act. 1. 3. Papists err, in making the constitution of this day to be a mere Tradition of the Church, without any authority of Scripture.

Lord's day]

Rev. 1. 10. The day on which our Savior rose again, the first day of the week on which the Church constantly met for the public service of God. The time and place are mentioned, to confirm the truth of the History, and the day, to add more honor to that day which is here called the Lord's day, as the Lord's table, 1 Cor. 10. 21. and the Lord's Supper, 1 Cor. 11. 20. Annot.

The Lord's day: Not by 〈◊〉 , for so all days are his; not by Destination, for that intendeth a time yet to come; and so the day of general judgment is his, 1 Thess. 5. 2. but by Consecration, Choice, and Institution. Leighs Annot.

Day of the Lord]

;;A time appointed by the Lord, wherein to assemble the Heathens to execute his judgments against the Edomites, Obad. v. 15. For the Day of the 〈◊〉 is near.

〈◊〉 of marriage]

;;The last and great day, when the marriage, begun here between Christ and his Church, by betrothing, shall be perfected and consummate with excecding glcry to the great rejoicing and making glad, both of Husband and Spouse. Therefore called the Day of the gladness of his heart, Cant. 3. v. last, Come forth ye daughters of Zion, and behold the King Solomon, with the crown wherewith his mother crowned him in the day of his marriage.

Day of Midian]

;;The time when the Midianites were by Gideon marvelously confounded and destroyed, when the people of Israel were so freed from very great distresses, as yet their joy was not lasting, Isa. 9. 4. Judge. 7. 22. Isa. 10. 25. This renowned victory twice by Isaiah reported, is an example of God's goodness and might, in delivering his.

To day and tomorrow]

;;Time that now is, and the time to come, even the whole time of his offense. Luk. 13. 32. I will heal still today and tomorrow.

;; Note: As today is for the time present, and tomorrow for all time to come, so yesterday, and the day before are used for all time past, Gen. 31. 2, 5. Exod. 4. 10. & 5. 7. 14.

Day and night]

;;Perpetually, forever and without any end. Rev. 14. 11. They shall have no rest day or night. Isa. 27. 3.

;;2. Continually, without ceasing, so long as this world lasts. Rev. 12. 10. Which accuseth them before our God day and night.

;;Not in the day time only, but in the night also, even every day, Luk. 2. 37.

Day and night]

;;Continually, or time without any end, or any ceasing, even forever and ever. Revel. 20. 10. And shall be tormented even day and night for evermore.

Day nor night]

;;Never, at no time ceasing to praise God, but keeping on therein a perpetual tenor. Revel. 4. 8. And they ceased not, day nor night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, &c.

At one day]

;;Very shortly, and at one instant, Rev. 18. 8. The Plague shall come at one day; that is, suddenly, and in a moment, 1 Pet. 3. 10.

Her plagues shall come in one day, Rev. 18. 8. In a short time, called one hour, verse. 10, 17, 19. Not that one day would end the business, but her enemies should not give over the seige, till they had taken it. Or, in one day; that is, suddenly, against her expectation, Isa. 47. 9, 11. 〈◊〉 .

One day as 1000 years]

;;That with God there is no place for such distance of time, shorter or longer, as it is with men, 2 Pet. 2. 8.

;;Such as draw this to prove the continuance of the world to be but 6000 years, according to the number of the days in the Week, do willingly dote.

Day of salvation]

;;Time of the Gospel, wherein the glad tidings of Salvation are published and offered. 〈◊〉 Cor. 6. 2. This is the day of salvation.

Seventh day]

;;The day which was the seventh from the creation, which is our Saturday, Heb. 4. 4.

Day of slaughter]

;;A day appointed for a solemn feast, where beasts were slaughtered by the Jews for sacrifice. Jam. 5. 5. As in a day of slaughter.

Day smitten, or shone not]

;;The light of divine truth obscured and darkened by a most thick cloud of filthy ignorance, sent by the just judgment of God, to punish such 〈◊〉 were willingly blind, at the shining forth of the Gospel. Rev. 8. 12. And the day was smitten, or shone not. Some other by the [ Day-smitten, or shone not ] do understand the taking away of the gladness and joy which men had in the fruition and enjoying of the light of the Gospel. These two senses, although they seem to differ, yet they do after a sort meet in one: the latter, being as the effect; and the former as the cause. For the darkening of the truth of God must needs diminish the joy of God's people.

Day of temptation]

;;All the time wherein God tried his people. Psal. 95. 8. In the day of temptation in the wilderness.

Day of temptation]

;;The time when the people of Israel tempted God by their contention and striving, as if they would try his power and justice, Heb. 〈◊〉 8.

Day-spring]

This day]

;;The 〈◊〉 and opportunity, appointed of God for doing something, Heb. 4. 7.

;;2. All that time in which God made his Son known by his wonderful works. Heb. 1. 5.

To day]

;;The whole season of our calling to God, even all the time of this life, wherein God, offereth us grace, and calleth us to him. Psal. 95. 7. To day if you will bear his voice. By this men are warned to hear the Word with constancy all their life long, because it is full day so long as they live here.

To day]

Heb. 13. 8. Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, and forever. The same, that is, unchangeable in his Essence, promises and doctrine. Annot.

Yesterday, pointeth out the time past of the Old Testament. To 〈◊〉 , the time present, wherein the Apostles wrote; for 〈◊〉 , the future time of eternity. So that there can be no variation of the Faith and Doctrine of Jesus Christ, because the perpetual foundation of the Church is one and the same, besides which no other can be put, even Jesus Christ, who was before he was manifested in the flesh; was the Doctor of the Church under the Old Testament, and Savior from the very beginning, was from eternity the same. Pareus.

Day of visitation]

;;The time wherein God of his great mercy shall convert a sinner. 1 Pet. 2. 12. May glorify God in the day of visitation. Luk. 19. 44.

Days]

;;The short time of man's life, who is a creature (as it were) of a days continuance. Psal. 90. 9. Our days are spent in thine anger. Gen. 47. 9. It signifieth, Years, Gen. 25. 1.

;;2. The time and space wherein anything continueth. Psal. 90. 10, 12, & 16. Comfort us according to the days wherein thou afflicted us.

;;3. Events good or evil, estates, calamities that at any time befall men, Psal. 37. 18. Psal. 31. 15. Psal. 119. 84. Isa. 7. 17. In this place of Isa. the word Days signifieth the state of time, and thereby the unhappy state or miseries of times, by a Metonymy of the Subject, and Synecdoche.

Days]

Heb. 7. 3. Having neither beginning of days, &c. So described, because neither his father, mother, descent, 〈◊〉 , or death are registered; in whose omission he was made a type both of the eternity of Christ's person and of his Priesthood; not that our Savior was without Father, &c. for thief we find recorded; but because that which was chiefly intended by the description of Melchizedek, doth most absolutely and perfectly agree unto Christ, and that was the eternity of his Person, and of his Priesthood. Annot.

Heb. 13. 10. Few days, for a short time, that is, in the days or time of our childhood. Annot.

Heb. 5. 7. In the days of his 〈◊〉 , that is, of his humiliation, while he was subject to our common, human, yet blameless infirmities. Annot.

Days]

;;A certain compass and space of time, appointed of God for certain purposes. Rev. 10. 7. In the days of the voice of the seventh Angel.

Ancient of days]

;;The eternal God, who hath neither beginning of days, nor end of years. Dan. 7. 19. The ancient of days. This is a poor ground whereon to build their 〈◊〉 offered to God, in setting him out by the picture of a gray headed man, as if he could wax old, with whom a thousand years is as one day.

To come into days]

;;To grow in years, or to be aged. Gen. 24. 1. & 18. 11. The like phrase the Evangelist useth of some gone forward in days for very old, Luk. 1. 7, 8.

At the end of days]

;;At the end of the year, Gen. 41. 3. A full year of days, Gen 41. 1. 2 Sam. 14. 28. Because of certain days that begin the year, besides the months and days are often used for years, Levite. 25. 29.

〈◊〉 days]

;;Times full of sins, and troubles, or troublesome and sinful times. Eph. 5. 16. For the days are evil, Gen. 47. 6.

;; Days be called evil, not effectively, because they make men evil; nor essentially, as if a day in its own nature were evil; but accidentally, in regard of the evil actions and events which do happen to us in the day: In which sense Christ speaks, Mat. 6. 34. Sufficient for the day is the evil thereos, viz. the affliction, grief, and hurts that every day brings with it.

Few days]

Job 14. 1. Heb. short of days, marg.

Fulness of days]

;;Not only long life and great age: but a willingness to 〈◊〉 without long desiring life on earth. Gen. 25. 8.

Good days]

;;A blessed and happy life, wherein many good things befall us, 1 Pet. 3. 10. If any man love to see good days. Psal. 34. 12.

;;Of these there are four sorts.;;

• ;;1. The time or day of natural life.;;
• ;;2. Of 〈◊〉 spiritual life, which is blessed? without with temporal, and feasted within with spiritual goodness, Psal. 112. 1, &c. & 144. 9, &c. Eccl. 1. 2. & 2. 12, 13.;;
• ;;3. Of death to the godly. Eccles. 7. 2. Revel. 14. 13.;;
• ;;4. Of judgment, Luk. 6. 23.;;

Last days, or latter days and times]

;;At length, a long while after, or hereafter in time to come, Gen. 49. 1. Gather them that I may tell them what is to come in the last days, viz. after they shall enter into Canaan, some good time hence, Deut. 4. 30. Also, Jer. 23. 20. In the last days, viz. when the time of your Captivity in Babylon, shall have an end, Jer. 30. 24.

;;2. The times next going before the final and general judgment, 1 Tim. 4. 1. 2 Tim. 3. 1. & 2 Pet. 3. 3.

;;3. The whole time wherein the Gospel is preached, to wit, between the first and second coming of Christ, called by Paul, Fulness of time, as in Isa. 2. 12. Mic. 4. 1, 2. Jer. 48. & 49. Ezek. 38. Hos. 3. 5. Joel 2. 28, 29. Act. 2. 17. Heb. 1. 2. 2 Joh. 2. 18. 1. Cor. 10, 11. The reason why the times between Christ's first and second coming are called last days, is, because in these days all figures, types, prophesies, were to be fulfilled.

;;Secondly, because the form of the Church constituted by Christ and his Apostles, was not to be anymore changed, as it had been till the flood.

;;2. In the vocation of 〈◊〉 .

;;3. In the deliverance out of Egypt.

;;4. In the return out of Babylon, &c.

Many days]

1 King. 17. 15. or, a full year, marg.

Ten days]

;;A small and short space of time (as it were) for ten days long. Rev. 2. 10. Ye shall have tribulation ten days, that is, a few days. A definite and certain number, put for an indefinite and uncertain.

Or, as others, ten years; either in Dioclesians time, as some think, or in Trajans, as others. Annot.

Three days and an half]

Rev. 11. 9. Three years and an half. This must be understood of divers persons slain in this last war in that space. Or, if it be taken of the same bodies, it must be understood literally, for three natural days and an half; for they would stink, or berotted away, before three years and an half be ended. Annot.

The time here is computed, not of the killing of the Witnesses, but wherein they lay dead and without life, now after they were slain. But how long the war itself shall last, and how long time shall be given for the killing of the Prophets, nothing but the fulfilling of the Prophesy will teach. Mede.

Pareus assents unto their opinion, who hereby indefinitely understand a short time, wherein the contumely of the Martyrs and triumph of the enemies shall endure.

Three days and three nights]

;;Not three full or whole days and nights; for it is 〈◊〉 by the Evangelists that it was not so: but a part is here used for the whole natural day, which the Jews began at evening, and the nigt being joined as an appendix to the day; so as the first day on which Christ was crucified, must be reckoned with the precedent night, and to the last night, must be added the subsequent day, Mat. 12. 40.

A thousand, two hundred and threescore days]

Rev. 11. 3. So long as Antichrists reign and persecution lasteth, some shall preach God's truth. And their prophesying is reckoned by days, not by years, because it is a work of every day, and of continual labor. Annot.

That there is a certain time set, and determined upon the Church of God in the New Testament, how long she shall be subject and exposed to persecution, and when she shall be delivered from it, is expressed in Dan. 7. 25. and 12. 7. Rev. 12. 14. & 11. 3. & 11. 2. & 13. 5. where the three sorts of numbers or times A time, times, and half a times: One thousand two hundred sixty days: and forty two months; are of one and the same kind, and correspondent one to another. For none would be able to understand what a time, times, and half a time mean, which are determined for the fourth Beast, Dan. 7. 25. for the Wonders, Dan. 12. 7. and for the Woman in the Wilderness, Rev. 12. 14. unless it had been said also of the Woman, that she shall be nourished there One thousand two hundred sixty days, which doth explain the former, so that the Woman's, time, times, and half a time, are equivalent to One thousand two hundred sixty days, Likewise because the time, times, and half a time of the Beast mentioned in the Prophet Daniel, are declared by forty two months, Rev. 13. 5. it doth of necessity follow, that the forty two months, are equivalent to One thousand two hundred sixty days, which maketh up the account, thirty days being 〈◊〉 for a month, as it is usual among the Hebrews. And those One thousand two hundred sixty days, do signify, One thousand two hundred sixty years. Here are not meant natural days, but prophetical days, or so many years, as in Dan. 9. 24. in the 70 weeks, every day signifieth a year, which make up 490 years. And those times, months and days, as they do comprehend times and years of one sort, so they begin together, and end together. And for that they expire together with the One thousand two hundred and ninety years mentioned Dan. 12. 11. which do begin with the year of our Lord Three hundred sixty three, or Three hundred sixty five, when the terrible devastation and destruction of the Temple of Jerusalem, under the Roman Emperor 〈◊〉 the Apostare happened, those One thousand two hundred sixty years, must for the space of thirty years, be protracted, and begin latter, and at least, with the year of our Lord Three hundred ninety five, all which expire together with the One thousand six hundred fifty and fifth year since the birth of Christ, when also do expire the Six thousand years since the Creation of the world. Clavis Apocal, pag. 3, 4, &c. who handleth the same at large. See Napier, Propos. 1. & 15.

1290 Days]

;;Three years seven months and thirteen days, when Religion restored to the Jews by Judas 〈◊〉 , it should be ratified by the public Edict of Antiochus. Dān. 12. 11. There shall be a thousand two hundred ninety days. See 1 Mac. 11. 33. But the condition of the afflicted Jews, is in verse. 12. promised to be yet more happy after 45 days, when their freedom from tyranny should come, 2 Mac. 6. 16.

Days-man]

Job 9. 33. or Umpire, Heb. one that should argue, or reprove. So the word is used, Psal. 105. 14. and so God did to Laban, Gen. 31. 24, 29, 42. One that might blame us, if we wronged one another in pleading, and might hear us argue the case with patience, and afterwards reprove or pass sentence against him that did the wrong. Annot.

Daily]

Psal. 86. 3. or, All the day, marg. Isa. 58. 〈◊〉 . Heb. day day, that is, day by day, or day after day, as morning morning, ch. 28. 19. Annot. Luk. 9. 23. Always, continually.

Daily]

put for every day, Exod. 5. 19. Neh. 5. 18. Meet and necessary, Mat. 6. 11. Upon every occasion, Isa. 58. 2. Continually, 2 Cor. 11. 28. Always, Prov. 8. 30. from day today, Jer. 7. 25. or day by day, 1 King. 18. 36. Frequent and usual, Act. 6. 1.

Daily bread]

;;That which is sufficient and necessary for our nature, or bread sufficient for every day, Matth. 6. 11. The Syriac reads it ( Bread of our necessity ) that is, meet and necessary food. The Papists do err, when they expound this of the Sacrament of the Altar.

Our daily bread, Mat. 6. 11. The word 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 is capable of a double origination.

• 1. From the word 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 , the day approaching; whether that be now the instant day, or else the morrow, that is (in the Scripture serse, of the Heb. 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 ) the future, the remainder of our lives, how long or how short soever. If it be derived from hence, then the 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 will denote as much as shall be 〈◊〉 , or proportionable for the future or remainder of our lives, which we pray that we may receive this day; i. e. as St. Luke interprets it, day by day.
• 2. From 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 , that which is agreeable for my being, or 〈◊〉 , or condition in the world, which Solomon calls sood convenient for him; and so in either 〈◊〉 , (but the first is more according to the 〈◊〉 of derivations ) that which is sufficient and agreeable for the remainder of our lives; the daily sustenance and necessaries of our bodies, and especially of our souls. Dr. Ham. Annot. f.

Deaton]

;;A Steward of the Church treasure, being appointed to look unto the poor, and to minister unto everyone of them as he had need, 1 Tim. 3. 8. Phil. 1. 1. To the Bishops and to the Deacons. Of their Office and Election, read Act. 6. 1, 2, &c. Of their several kinds, see Rom. 12. 8.

It is a title of Office, Service, or Administration, given sometimes to Christ, Rom. 15. 8. Sometime to Magistrates, Rom. 13. 4. Yea, sometimes to Women, Rom. 16. 1. 1 Tim. 5. 9. Sometimes to a special calling, or sort of Church officers, Phil. 1. 1. 1 Tim. 3. 8, 12. Stewards of the Church-treasure, and those which took care for the poor, Act. 6. 2, 5. Sometimes to the Ministers of the Gospel, 1 Cot. 3. 5. Both odinary and extraordinary, Col. 1. 23, 25. 2 Cor. 3. 6. 1 Tim. 4. 6. Act. 1. 15. 17. Col. 1. 7. Sometime to every Worshiper of Christ, Joh. 12. 26. Leigh Crit. Sac.

Dead]

;;One whose soul is separated from his body, either by natural or violent death. 1 Pet. 4. 6. The Gospel was preached unto the dead; that is, such as were naturally dead when this was written of Peter, but were alive when the Gospel was preached to them.

;;2. One whose soul and body is separated from God's grace and Spirit, Luk. 9. 60. Let the dead bury their dead, Rev. 3. 2. 1 Tim. 5. 6.

;;3. One very near to death. Gen. 20. 3. Thou art 〈◊〉 dead. Job 27. 15. His 〈◊〉 shall be buried in death; that is, before they be wholly dead, while life is in them, they shall be buried.

;;4. Such as have no being at all, but are extinct both body and soul. Mat. 22. 32. God is not God of the dead, viz. of such as be utterly perished (as Sadducees thought, according to whose sense Christ speaks) but of such as are alive in soul, and shall also in their bodies (which be now dead) live again; of those he is God.

;;5. Such as were like dead persons, as the Jews in 〈◊〉 , of whom there is no more hope that they should live in their own land, then that a man dead and put in the grave, should rise to life. Isa. 26. 19. Thy dead shall live.

;;6. Things without life, which Wizards and Soothsayers abused to their superstitious divination. Isa. 8. 19. From the living (God's Prophets which were alive) to the dead.

Put also for, The place of the dead, Luke 24. 5. The state of the dead, Rom. 8. 11. The resurrection of the dead, 1 Cor. 15. 29. Subject to death, 2 Cor. 5. 14. The miserably afflicted, held as dead, as without hope of recovery, Isa. 26. 19. 2 Tim. 2. 11. Idols, Psal. 106. 28.

There are dead corporally (as all of us must be 〈◊〉 ) Dead spiritually, The unregenerate who are dead in sin, Eph. 2. 1. The regenerate to sin, Rom. 6. 2, 11. To the Law, Rom. 7. 4.

Dead]

Rev. 3. 1. Thou hast a name that thou livest, and art dead. Thou art an hypocrite. Thou seemest alive to the world, but art dead to God. 1 Tim. 5. 6. Or, thou carriest a show of some vigorousness and vivacity with thee, but art indeed in a languishing condition, little better then dead. verse. 2. like that 1 Cor. 3. 1. Or, thou hast a spiritual lethargy, or dead Palsy, and art like a body, some members whereof are dead, though not all, verse. 2. Annot.

Rev. 20. 5. The rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. Others did not openly profess Religion in peace till Luther's time. Or, Some will not come in till after the thousand years. Peradventure some Turks or others, may come in at the eleventh hour, Mat. 11. 6. for the Papists were either converted before, or destroyed at the fall of Antichrist, chap. 16. 20. & 19. 21. Or, they that will not come in when the Jews do, and Antichrist is destroyed, will never come in to God's Church: for all Israel, and the fullness of the Gentiles will be come in then, Rom. 11. 25, 26. See the like phrase, 2 Sam. 6. 23. Or, God will not right others oppressed, till the end of the world. Or, they lived not in any account as before. Psal. 88. 5. Annot.

Antichrist seducing men from the true worship of God (in which respect men are said to be alive ) unto a false worship of Christ, (in which respect they are said to be dead ) and therein holding them for the space of 100. years; God would at length by his faithful Ministers, call them out of this spiritual darkness, as out of the grave, to live in the light of the truth, which formerly had been 〈◊〉 . And here the text seemeth to speak of the same persons (which yet cannot be) only for that these last do (through God's mercy, after so long a time) enter into the profession of that truth, and true worship, which the first sort did receive, and the seduced did forsake. Bernard.

Dead]

Judge. 5. 27. Heb. destroyed, marg.

That first begotten of the dead]

;;Christ, which title is given him in respect of his Priesthood, by which by his own death he hath overcome death, and made a full expiation and satisfaction for all our sins. For this is to be the first begotten of the dead, death being vanquished and overcome, first to rise from the dead: Now he is called the first begotten, for two causes.

• ;;First, because he is the Prince and Head of those which rise, as the Apostle declares, Col. 1. 18. In which respect also he is called the first fruits of them which sleep, 1 Cor. 15. 20.
• ;;Secondly, because all the faithful and redeemed shall in their time through the virtue of his resurrection, and this his mighty conquest of hell, death, grave, and Satan, be raised up, and set free from the bondage of corruption.

God is not the God of the dead, Mat. 22. 32. that is, of such as have no being at all; but are extinct, both body and soul; the one really, the other in God's account, as of the reprobate.

Dead to the Law]

;;That the Law of Moses after faith in Christ, hath not power to work and increase sin and condemnation, as it doth before our conversion to Christ, Rom. 7. 4.

Dead while she liveth]

;;A wanton Widow, spiritually dead in soul; whilst in the world she liveth naturally, 1 Tim. 5. 6.

Dead men]

2 Sam. 19. 28. Heb. men of death, marg.

Dead to sin]

;;A mortified person, one in whom the death of Christ hath broken the force of sin, that it cannot reign. Rom. 6. 2. How can they which be dead to sin, &c. Where the vigor and force of sin, (which is the life of sin) is crushed and extinct, there sin cannot bring forth such bitter fruits, as it is wont before Sanctification to do; theresore even as men which have so lost their bodily strength as it cannot be recovered, are said to be dead while they live: so though sin still live in the godliest, yet they are dead to sin, because the power and old strength of sin is fore abated, and lessened daily.

Dead in trespaises and sins]

;;All unregenerate, natural and unmortified men: even all the elect, as they be and stick in the corruption of their nature. These are dead in sin:

• ;;First, because through guilt of sin they are void of true life, and worthy of death.
• ;;Secondly, because they are under the power of their sinful lusts, (as one that is drowned in the water) having no more power to do any duty of a godly life, then a dead man hath to do the duties of natural life. Eph. 2. 2. Being dead in trespasses and sins, you were quickened. Eph. 4. 14. Ye were strangers from a godly life.

Twice dead]

;;To be liable and subject to a twofold death, one which at their birth was due to them for their natural corruption: another, which afterward they drew on themselves by actual defection, Jude 13.

This my Son was dead, Luk. 15. 24. The Scripture-notion of the word 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 , dead, may be learnt from hence to signify one that is desperately engaged in a wicked course. Thus those that were carried into captivity, and despaired of return, are called dead bones, Ezek. 37. 3. and the reducing of them, is said to be the bringing them out of their graves, verse. 〈◊〉 . So the state of Abraham's body, and Sarah's womb, in respect of having hopes of a posterity is called deadness, Rom. 4. 19. noting desperation of children, and no more. So the state of unchristian living is called death, 1 Joh. 2. 14. and they that lived in a Gentile course, are said to be dead in trespasses and sins, Eph. 2. 1. Accordingly reformation, or recovery to good life, is called a rising from the dead, reviving, being quickened, passing to life; whereby it signifieth no more but only repentance from dead works, or renovation. Dr. Ham. Annot. c.

Dead works]

;;All manner of sins, Original, Actual, in thought, word, and deed. Heb. 9. 14. Purge your consciences from dead works. Heb. 6. 2. Sins are thus called:

• ;;First, because they come from persons spiritually dead.
• ;;Secondly, they deserve eternal death, and lead thereunto without forgiveness. What becomes of venial sins if all be deadly? If every sin, even the least, is a work of death, and in strict justice be worthy of destruction eternal, then no sin is so light and venial, as can be done away without the merit of Christ's death, only by an aspersion of holy water, or kissing the Pax, &c.

Dead]

Heb. 6. 1. dead works, chap. 9. 14. that is, sins; so called,

• 1. Because they make a man liable unto death, Rom. 6. 16, 21, 23. & chap. 7. 5 Jam. 1. 15.
• 2. Because they proceed from man, by nature spiritually dead, Ephes. 2. 1. Annot.

Deadly 〈◊〉 ]

1 Sam. 5. 11. A torment that brought death.

Psal. 17. 9. Dead enemies, Heb. enemies against the soul, marg.

Ezck. 30. 24. A deadly wounded man. One stabbed, thrust thorough, wounded to death.

Marth. 16. 18. Any deadly thing. Poison, as they write of John, and others, in the Eccleastical History. Annot.

Deadly poison, Jam. 3. 8. that is, which brings death. Some think that herein S. James alludes unto Psal. 140. 4. Annot. Rev. 13. 3, 12.
