Trance]
The Greek word foreign signifieth a falling from the sormer estate and condition. Hence Synecdochically, being referred to the mind, it … that consternation and astonishment that happeneth unto it, when it is led out of it self from sensible things, to the contemplation of spiritual. It is a kinde of revelation whereby God revealeth himself to his servants; and it is twofold.
1. A divine trance, when the servants of God were taken up in spirit separate as it were from the body, and out of the body, that they might see some heavenly mysteries revealed unto them. Peter was in such a trance, Act. 10. 10. & 11. 5. and Paul, Act. 22. 17.

Sons, p. 72, 73.
Trance]
He fell into a trance, Act. 10. 10. The word foreign in the Gr. is foreign, which signifies either, 1. deep sleep (and a trance of the nature of that) or 2. …, astonishment, and accordingly is by the Septuagint rendred sometime foreign, as Psal. 68. 29 and foreign, 1 Sam. 26. 12. and sometime foreign, as Gen. 2. 21. where it is (though we render it a deep sleep) of the same kinde with that here, a trance or extasie, and therefore is rendred in the foreign, a strong sleep, signifying or intimating it to be something more then that … which is ordinary among men. Proportionably to … acceptions of the Hebrew, the word foreign in the New Testament signifies sometime amazement and astonishment, from … or wonder, Mark 5. 42. & 16. 8. Luk. 5. 26. Act. 3. 10. and sometimes a trance or extasie, when the outward senses being … up as it were with sleep, Gods will is inwardly revealed to the understanding, by way of intellectual vision.

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

Some refer this to the longing and expectation of the Church of the Jews vehemently desiring and expecting to see the promised Messiah: but St. John … prophesied of things to come, as ch. 4. 1. is signified to us plainly.

Fear and trembling]
;;Not that perplexed fear and horror of damnation, which wicked men have; but the awe of sinning against God, and reverend dread of his Majesty, which holdeth the godly alwayes conversant in good works, till they come to the end of their race, and attain the goal of salvation. Phil. 2. 12. Work out (or make an end of) your salvation, with fear and with trembling.
;;Hence there is no help at all for the Papists, against the infallible certainty of Salvation by faith, which doth well admit (as companion and a fruit) a godly fear and trembling at sin, (a fearing of humility:) but quite shutteth out that servile fear of being damned, (a fear of distrust.) See 1 Joh. 4. 1. Perfect love casts out fear.
Fear and trembling, according to the use of Scripture, signifie nothing else but humility and modesty of minde; nor are these words joyned together ever found in any other sense, which will appear in five places, where only they are found; as,
I. Psal. 2. 11. where we are bid, Rejoyce in God with trembling: the word signifieth, to leap for joy, whereunto fear is an enemy, being not without care and anxiety of minde, but humility and modesty of minde agree well with this Joy.
II. 1 Cor. 2. 3. Paul was among the Corinthians in great weakness, with fear and trembling; yet he had no cause to tremble in respect of the Corinthians, from whom he feared nothing, but only compared his humility and meekness, with the pride of the false Apostles.
III. Ephes. 6. 5. where obedience with fear and trembling is recommended to Servants, who are not to serve with a slavish fear, doing nothing but by compulsion, but to serve them humbly and uprightly, in simplicity of heart.
IV. Phil. 2. 13. where we are to work out our salvation with fear and trembling; that is, with all humility, not with a doubtful fear, the words going before, and following after, confirm it; he had said before that Christ, notwithstanding the excellency of his gifts, yet took upon him the … a Servant, humbling himself unto the death of the Crosse, and having run his course, obtained the crown: So should we work out our salvation with fear and trembling; now these cannot stick together, if fear and trembling be any thing else then humility, the words following evidence the same: for it is said, God worketh in us both to will and to do; which being so, there is no cause of doubtful fear, but great cause of humility.
V. Rom. 11. 20. the Apostle opposeth trembling to …, but there is no reason why fear (properly so called) should be opposed to pride, seeing nothing is so proud as the Devil and … men, and yet nothing more fearful. Camero tom. 2. p. 101, 102, 103.

;;An hurt done to our neighbour, in his estate, name or person, Numb. 5. 6. Lev. 6. 24. Mat. 6. 15. If you do not forgive men their trespasses.
;;2. Any sin or offence, either against God or man. …. 16. 15. Neither will your Father forgive you your trespasses.
;;This word [trespass] according to the Hebrew word; signifieth seditions, iniquities, defections done purposely and disloyally, and therefore be hainous and criminal; it is more then sin, as may be gathered by Gen. 31. 36. Exod. 34. 7. & Job 34. 37. He addeth trespass to sin, Psal. 5. 10.
Trespass]
The Greek word foreign, signifieth properly, the very act of falling.
It is put,
1. for, Original sin. Ephes. 2. 1. Rom. 5. 17.
2. Actual, Matth. 6. 14, 15. Mark 11. 25, 26. It differs from sin as the cause from the effect. Leigh Crit. Sac. 429.
Trespass [
Ezr. 9. 6. or guiltiness, marg.
Trespass]
He hath certainly trespassed, Lev. 5. 19. trespassing he hath trespassed, or he is surely guilty. Aynsw. Transgress, Levit. 26. 40. Idem.
Trespassed, Deut. 32. 51. In Gr. disobeyed my Word. Idem.
If thy Brother shall trespass against thee, Mat. 18. 15. The Original foreign, signifieth, to erre from the prefixed mark. So the Hebr. word chata signifieth a missing of a mark one should aim at. Hereby properly any sin is signified, whether against God or our neighbour, and that which way soever committed, whether by force or fraud, in word or in deed, publickly or privately, wittingly or unwittingly. Leigh Crit. Sac.
Trespass-money]
2 King. 12. 16. Such as was for satisfaction of wrong done, Lev. 5. 15. Annot.
Trespass-offering]
was a sacrifice for sins of Omission or Ignorance, Lev. 5. 15.
The Hebrew word signifieth, blindfolded with a cloak: these sins the Apostle cals foreign, errors done of ignorance. Heb. 9. 7.
This Sacrifice was offered for sins done of Ignorance, but not for sins done ignorantly; between which this is the difference, sins of ignorance proceeded meerly of ignorance; sins done ignoran ly, were such, as whereof ignorance was not the cause of them, as when one in drunkenness killeth a man, he doth it ignorantly, but not of ignorance, because he was wilfully drunk, which drew on his ignorance; here his drunkenness and ignorance were joyned together, as the cause and the effect.
Tryal]
The tryal, Job 9. 23. Those afflictions that should but try good men, Gen. 22. 1. but do indeed destroy them with the wicked; or, the melting away, that is, their destruction, as it is called, vers. 22. and slaying in this verse, for things melted perish. Annot. The Original foreign thus rendred in 2 Cor. 8. 2. is in Rom. 5. 4. rendred experience, in 2 Cor. 2. 9. proof, in 2 Cor. 9. 13. experiment.
Trial of faith]
;;Afflictions which are sent of God, for trial and proof of our faith, as gold is tried in fire. 1 Pet. 1. 7. The … of your saith being much more … then gold. Job 23. 10.
Fiery trial]
;;Most sharp, bitter, and grievous afflictions. 1 Pet. 14. 12. Think it not strange concerning the fiery trial.
Tribe]
;;Either strictly one of the twelve Tribes of …, Mat. 19. 28. Luk. 2. 36. Act 13. 31. Phil. 3. 5. and … often: or more largely for all people dispersed in divers parts under heaven, as the Israelites were distributed into twelve Tribes, Rev. 7. 11. & 14. 6. & Mat. 24. 30. and often elsewhere.
Tribes]
;;The posterity of the twelve Sons of …, Psal. 78. 55. These were called [Tribes] after the … name, where at first the whole multitude was divided into three parts, thereof called Tribes: but the Hebrew name signifies staves, or rods, as growing out of one stock or tree: and these Tribes were 12. Numb. 13. 3, 5, 16.
Tribes]
Any of the Tribes of Israel, 2 Sam. 7. 7. in 1 Chr. 17. 9. Any of the Judges of Israel.
Twelve Tribes of Israel]
;;The heads and authors of the … Tribes and kindreds which came of Israel, Gen. 49. 28. Also Gen. 35. 22. & 49. 16.
And there were sealed, &c. of all the Tribes of the children of Israel, &c. Rev. 7. 4. Some understand this of all the faithful in general, the whole Israel of God, Gal. 6. 16. all that belong to salvation, Act. 13. 48. and that are to be delivered from eternal destruction, 1 Thess. 1. 10. as those in Egypt from the sword of the destroying Angel, Exod. 12. 7, 13. Heb. 11. 20. and so these should be the same with those mentioned, …. 9.
Others, of such faithful only as were by a special providence to be preserved in those times of publick concussion and calamitie, said therefore by a solemn sign to be marked out and sealed, which the other multitude living in other aftertimes, needed not, nor is affirmed of them, vers. 9.
Again, others understand it of Jews, or Israelites by natural descent; but some such as are hereafter to be converted, Rom. 11. 26.
Others, Of those of that Nation, who retained the Christian profession (as many no doubt did) even in those times, Rom. 11. 1, 2. Act. 2. 41, 47. & 44. & 21. 20. who yet are here reckoned by a definite number, though put for an indefinite; as numerable in comparison of the Gentile converts, which are said to be innumerable, vers. 9. and are sorred out according to the number of their Tribes, to shew, that no faithful, of what rank or sort soever, were excluded from having part in this priviledge. Of such sure, whether Jews by birth, or others, it must be understood, as were to live in the times of the terrible trumpets ensuing, for whose security and indempnity, this stay was made of their sounding upon the seventh Seal opened, Chap. 8. 1, 2, 6. ….
The people of Israel was no Church long before; the Gentile Church is called Israel, because they were graffed in stead of the Jews that were broken off. That a greater number of the Gentiles shall be saved, then of the Jews, is truly gathered out of this place. But that the elect of the Jews are in a certain number, because their number is set down, and the other of the Gentiles is not, is … then the Scripture doth warrant. In the enumeration of the … there is no respect had of Order, to shew that there is no regard had by God of … priviledges in the matter of salvation. This ought to be taken as an indefinite number, as well as the 7000 which had not bowed the knee to Baal. The holy Ghost is not content to have named the total sum of them that were sealed in Israel, but also divideth it into … times twelve thousand, distributed by equall … among the twelve …, every one of which is mentioned the one after the other, with the expression of its particular number: This … that the number of the Elect, and multitude of Believers, are measured by certain proportions, which … known to him which is the Author. … Annot.
Here the Catholique Church of the …, to be fenced with the seal of God, is … by the type of Israel, the twelve Apostles of that, aptly answering to so many Patriarchs of this: because the Church, which even from the first rejection of the Jews, hitherto was gathered out of the …, succeeded in the … of Israel, and was, as I may so call it, … Israel, and in that place for a little while so to be … by God, untill his old people again obtaining mercy, the fulness of the Gentiles should come in, namely, those mentioned vers. 9. Dan and …, being Ring-leaders and Captains of the … Apostasie, were altogether unfit to represent the profession of pure Religion, but that notwithstanding the number of twelve may be filled, … is set for Dan, and the name of Joseph … … …. Mede.
The Saints of God are particularly known to him, he … us in his Register, so that he cannot forget us. The persons sealed are partly Jews, and partly …. Those are numbred first, because they were first in the Covenant. Of all ranks of people God hath his own; And though the Elect are many, yet the Reprobate … many more, for what is an 144000, in respect of all the thousands of Israel? The Tribes are not here reckoned in order as elsewhere, (but the sons of the Wives and Hand-maids are intermingsed without regard of birth-right) to shew, that though prerogatives of flesh and bloud are respected on earth, yet are they not so in in heaven. Gal. 3. 28. (Col. 3. 11.) Cowper.
Gold tried in the fire]
Rev. 3. 18. Spiritual grace, able to endure the trial of Gods Word and Spirit, Jer. 23. 29. 1 Cor. 3. 13. Or, the fiery trial of affliction. Psal. 66. 10. 1 Pet. 4. 12. Annot.
Tribulation]
;;A temporal affliction in this life, either inward to the soul, or outward to the body. Rom. 5. 4. We … in tribulation. This sometime happeneth for trial, sometime is a forerunner of hell.
;;2. Part of that eternal pain and torment reserved for the wicked in hell. Rom. 2. Tribulation and anguish shall be upon the soul of every man that doth ….
Tributary]
Shall be tributaries unto thee, Deut. 20. 11. Heb. shall be unto thee to tribute, which the Chald. expoundeth for offerers of tributes. And tribute is not only of mens goods, but of their persons, so to be paid with the labour of their bodies; as the Aegyptians set over Israel, Task (or Tribute) masters, to afflict them with their burthens, Exod. 1. 11. and Solomon raised a tribute (or levy) of 30000 men, 1 King. 5. 13. Aynsw.
Tribute]
;;A sum of money paid unto Princes (for their better maintenance) according to the proportion of mens substance. Rom. 13. 6. For this cause ye pay tribute.
;;Howsoever the … Greek words, Phoros and …, used by the Apostle, and Englished by our Translators, tribute, and custom, be confounded by some learned men, as … and equivalent, or of one signification and force, yet being here by a particle disjunctive distinguished, I judge with other judicious Expositors, that they signifie two kindes of payments, one laid upon the person, which is properly Telos,, or poll-money (custome here) because men were taxed by the poll, and paid man by man, … Mat. 17. 25. The other laid upon mens substance, moveable, as Merchandise; or unmoveable, as Lands, that is …, (Tribute) because men were wont to bring it into the Kings Treasure, or because it was paid of commodities brought in.
;;Thus with us there be two kindes of payments, the first called Subsidies, Tenths, Fifteenths, laid upon men according to ability: The second is Impost, or Custom, due for Traffick; arising by Exportation and Importation.
;;Note further, that among the Romans, Tribute was paid to the Quaestores,, or publick Treasurers: Custom to Publicans, or Customers: Fear was due to Officers of Justice, Judges, Presidents, Serjeants, &c. Honor to the Emperor, or King, 1 Pet. 2. 17.
The Jews paid a threefold tribute to the Lord.
The first was called, Argentum animarum, Exod. 30. 2. which every one paid for the redemption of his life.
The second was Argentum transeuntis, which they paid to the Lord wheu they were numbred by the head. 2 King. 12. 5.
The third was that …, which they offered freely to the Lord; this had … rod upon the one side, and the pot of Manna upon the other; and when they were under the Romans, or captives under any other foraign Princes, the Masters of their Synagogues used to gather of them this … yeerly, and send it to Jerusalem to the …; this was not the peny which Caesar craved of them, for it had Caesar's image and superscription upon it, neither would the Lord have bidden them, give that to Caesar which was due to God. This didrachma, or tribute, which they paid to Caesar, was as much in value as the Half-shekel; and Christ himself, though he was free, and the Kings Son, yet he paid it for himself, and for Peter, Mat. 17. 27. And Mary, when Christ was in her wombe, went to … to pay this tribute to Caesar, Luk. 2. 5.
This peny which Caesar exacted of the Jews, was but denarius (denarius, didrachma, and numisma were all one.) This denarius was the ordinary hire of a … for a day, Mat. 20. 2. and the daily wages of a Soldier, as Tacitus saith. Weems Jud. Law, p. 51, 52.

;;2. That which is most excellent in that kind, with which no other can be compared for worthiness. Joh. 1. 9. This is that true light. Joh. 6. 32. also 15. 1.
;;In which places [True] is not set against False, but is a note of difference, to distinguish degrees and kinds of things, … as much as truly divine and heavenly, far exceeding other things so named.
;;This word (True, or Truth) is contrary sometime to that which is counterfeit and false, and sometime to that which is a shadow, as Joh. 1. 17.
;;3. True is as much as natural, not made, as Joh. 7. 13. Know thee the only true God, &c. In all these senses Christ is the true light.
True is put for that which is most excellent. Thus Christ is said to be the true light, because of himself, and originally he is light, others only by participation from him, Joh. 1. 9. So the true bread; i. e. the most excellent bread, Joh. 6 32. and the … …, Joh. …. 1. having that perpetuall sap of grace within himself, which he continually administers unto the faithfull, whereby they flourish, and bring forth the works of holinesse and righteousnesse.

True]
Psal. 19. 9. Heb. truth, marg.
True bread from Heaven, Joh. 6. 32. As foreign signifyeth truly valuable, or durable; or truly durable because it is durable. So here foreign or foreign, true meat, or truly meat, is explained to be the bread of life, vers 48. that on which he that feeds shall live for ever. So food that endures for ever, vers. 27. & opposite to Manna, on which they that feed, die, vers. 47. And this,
1. As the word foreign, truly noteth some special … where in any attribute belongs to the subject; and when it is applyed to resemblances, it then signyfies that which is spoken of be more … that by what it's resembled, then that it's self is; as, I am the true vine, i. e. a vine by … grapes (which yeild wine) which makes glad the … if man, is not neer so able and proper to refresh a thirsty person, as I am, as my commands and promises are. So St. John of Christ, ch. 1. 9. that he is the true light, i. e. the most excellent. So Heb. 8. 2. Heaven is the true Tabernacle, that of which the tabernacle was but a dark and Poor resemblance; and so this called foreign, true bread, and vers. 55. meat indeed, or truly meat, i. e. more nutritive, and strengthening, and comforting then meat and bread is.
2. In respect of the particular matter to which it's applyed, foreign, food, that which feeds one for an hour, or a day (and enlargeth his life but so long) being not truly food, nor worthy to be so called, at least not so in comparison with that which keeps him alive, so as life is adequately opposite to death, i. e. for ever. And so with us the word … signifies fading, transitory, that which will fail us when it were most of advantage for us to receive benefit by it. Dr. Hammond Annot. f. and Note on Luke 16. ….

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

Exod. 19. 16. And the sound of the trumpet exceeding loud. Also Captains were wont to encourage … Souldiers in the time of war, after the example of Gideon, Judg. 7. 18. And hypocritical Pharisees did call the poor together to receive their almes. Mat. 6. 2. … thou givest thine almes, make not a trumpet to be … before thee. This is a material trumpet, whereof we read in Scripture of three good uses, and of one abuse.
;;2. The Prophets, Apostles, and Ministers of the Word, which are commanded to publish the message and minde of Christ to his people, with great vehemency of voyce. Isa. 58. 1. Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a Trumpet. Rev. 8. 2. And to them were given seven trumpets. This is by some expounded of the Ministers of the Gospel, whereof there was a type and figure under the Law in the Silver trumpets, by the noyse whereof the people of God were called to the publick assemblies on earth, as now by the Preachers of the Word they are called unto the Kingdom of heaven. Numb. 10. 2. Make two trumpets of silver, for the assembling of the Congregation. An immaterial and heavenly trumpet, whereof there is direct use for salvation; also that notable shrill sound of the voice of God, shaking all, and piercing the dead which have long lain in the dust, that they may live again, 1 Cor. 15. 52. 1 Thess. 4. 16. Joh. 5. 28.
;;Note here, that fervour, zeal, and courage ought to be in the Ministers of the Word, in reproving admonishing, comforting, and stirring them up to spiritual warfare, was figured in the Trumpets.

;;Exod. 19. 13 or Cornet, marg.
To blow a trumpet before us]
;;To seek fame and renown of men, by doing of good things. Mat. 6. 2. When thou givest thine almes, thou shall not make a trumpet to be blown before thee.
The trumpet of God]
;;A most mighty noise (like to the noise of a trumpet) made of God extrordinarily, for the quickning or raising up of the dead. 1 Thess. 4. 16. The Lord shall come with the trumpet of God. 1 Cor. 15. 52. The trump shall blow, and the dead shall rise. This is expounded to be the voice of Christ himself, Joh. 5. 28. All that are in the grave shall hear his voice.
To blow the great trumpet]
;;Either literally the Edict of Cyrus, to permit the Jews to return into their Countrey at the end of their captivity in Babylon.
;;Or spiritually, the mighty sound of the Gospel, coming into all the parts, to call unto Christ out of all Countreys his elect, both of Gentiles and Jews. Isa. 27. 13. It … come to passe, the great trumpet shall blow: which shall be one of the last signes which shall go before Christs coming to judgement, as in Mat. 24.
;;There was among the Jews a feast of lesse solemnity, called [Blowing of trumpets:] it began the first day of the seventh monethmonth, and was celebrated with blowing of trumpets.
;;The signification of it, was the spiritual joy and gladness which all our life long we are to have by the coming of Christ, praising God for it with Ode, and Hymnes: for thus the Prophet Isaiah expoundeth it, Isa. 52. 8, 9. & 35. 10. See Levit. 23. 24, 25.
Not … blow a trumpet before us]
;;To do the works of mercy, and all other good works as secretly as we can, without seeking any vain-glory from man, or receiving it being proffered. Mat. 6. 2. … thou givest thine almes, make not a trumpet to be blown before thee. There is the same meaning of that [Let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doth.]
Trumpets seven]
;;The revelations of Gods judgements by Angels or Teachers of the Church, who are likened to Trumpets; and the manifest and famous events which follow such revelations, in all manner and kinds of punishments. Revel. 8. 2. And to them were given seven trumpets.
To blow Gods alarm against the ungrateful world, and thereby to give warning of the vials of his wrath to be poured forth on such as would not be amended by the judgements now denounced. They are seven blowing one after another, to shew Gods patience, who is unwilling to pour out his wrath all at once. Psal. 78. 34. Annot.
Trumpeters]
2 King. 11. 14. To blow with Trumpets was an accustomed rite at all great solemnities, especially at Kings inauguration, 1 King. 1. 39. and the Levites used to be Trumpeters as well as the Priests, 1 Chron. 16. 42. & 2 Chron. 5. 12. But unto the Priests it appertained most properly to sound with Trumpets, 2 Chr. 13. 12. Annot.
Trust]
;;The credit which one of us puts in another, in our mutual worldly dealings. Prov. 31. 11. The heart of her Husband trusts in her. This is a civill trust.
;;2. The affiance and confidence of our hearts, relying upon the merciful and true promises, and most powerful, wise, and good providence of God, both for the removing and keeping from us evill things; and for the giving and bestowing good things. Psal. 37. 3. Trust thou in the Lord, & 34. 22. None that trusts in him shall perish. 1 Tim. 6. 17. This trust is religious, and cannot be put in any creature without Idolatry. Hence we are for bidden to trust in riches, in the arm of flesh, in Princes, or in any Son of man, no not in Christ as man, or in any our good works, although proceeding from grace.
;;3. The matter and object of our trust, or he in whom our trust is to be fixed. Psal. 40. 4. Blessed is the man which makes the Lord his trust.

By others, the …, for they that speak truly and elegantly, as they are of great use in the publick, so they may well be confident in what they advise, and look to be believed. By others, the trusty, as in our Translation, for such men are most worthy to be trusted, both by Governours and people in places of greatest consequence, who can speak well, and will speak truly and confidently, as becomes Orators, Lawyers, ….

;;Paul that holy Apostle, hath very elegantly described the complete armour of a Christian Souldier, alotting his Loyns (the Doctrine of Truth) for a Girdle, his Breast (a good Consclence) for a Breast-plate; his Legs and Feet (a prompt and ready minde to confesse and preach the Gospel of peace and atonement with God) as boots and shooes; confidence in Christ (as a Shield) in the left hand, and in the right hand, the Word of God for a Sword; and, finally, the hope of salvation by Christ, for an Helmet to cover the head.
;;Thus the whole man is armed throughout at all points (none being allowed the back, teaching thereby unto us, that a Christian is never to think of saving himself by flight) against all the temptations of the spiritual enemies to be made able to withstand and overcome them through the power of Jesus Christ, their General and grand Captain: from whom both the weapons themselves, and the skill with agility to use them aright, also the success and victory after the combate, must be begged by faithful and earnest prayer.

Rightly dividing the Word of truth. It is a Metaphor taken from the Rite of the Levitical Priests, whose use what it was, see Lev. 1. 15, 17.
