4. The Lord so puts it here, that he … it; by which expression he signifies, that it shall for ever abide there. It … an allusien (saith Estius) unto the two Tables of the … They were first written by the finger of God, and then … into the Ark; so God first writes the … in our hearts, and then puts it into our mindes. Leighs Annot.
Will of the minde]
;;Evill reasonings, …, and desires, … … from our …, … … with sin. Eph. 2. 3. In fulfilling the will of the minde.
Minde having wisdom]
;;The most wise interpretation of that secret, touching the seven heads here mentioned; or a minde indued with understanding from God, wisely to know and mark this secret. Rev. 17. 19. Here is the minde that hath wisdom. It is a preface to prepare attention, like to that, Rev. chap. 2. He that hath ears to …, &c. So here, Attend to the interpretation of these things, in the understanding whereof there is wisdome.
Here a wise heart may exercise it self to finde out this mystery. Chap. 13. 18. Annot.
Minde]
Minde the things of the flesh, Rom. 8. 5. Savour. The Original foreign is a general word, comprehending the actions and operations both of the understanding and wil, and is in Scripture applyed to both, but most commonly to the actions of the Will, and affections, which are particular notions of the Will. Leigh Crit. Sac.
Let us minde the same thing, Phil. 3. 16. signifieth to be of one minde, of one judgement, of one affection, one towards another. Id. Ib. To resolve, Ruth 1. 18. Intend, 2 Chron. 24. 4.
Minded]
Carnally minded, Rom. 8. 6. Gr. the minding of the flesh, marg. Like minded, Phil. 2. 20. or, so dear unto me, marg. Spiritually minded, Rom. 8. 6. Gr. the minding of the spirit, marg.
To be like-minded]
;;To have consent or agreement in faith and charity, to believe the same truth of God, and to have the same love in respect of conversation without dissensions, Rom. 15. 5. Not every consent is commendable, but that which is according to Christ; that is, which is founded upon the wholesome doctrine of Christ, and rendeth to the glory of Christ. For agreement in heresie or in maliciousness, is not Christian concord, but wicked conspiracy, as Origen.
Mindeful]
Remembring, that remembreth, keepeth in minde, or memory, 1 Chr. 16. 15. Psal. 8. 4.
Mine]
;;That is, my next children, and not my childes children, Gen. 48. 5. So these two Sons of Joseph are made Heirs with Jacobs children.
Mine]
2 King. 10. 6. Heb. for me, marg. Jer. 44. 28. Heb. from me, marg.
Mine]
I am my Beloveds, and my Beloved is mine, Cant. 6. 3. & 2. 16. Christ is ours when by faith we apply him and all his graces, his Death, Resurrection, Ascension, Intercession, &c. unto our selves, as our own, 2 Cor. 5. 14. Gal. 2. 20. 1 Joh. 4. 16. And we are his by the Covenant of his grace, Ezek. 16. 8. or, as the former branch signified her faith to justification, so this latter, her sanctification, whiles by holinesse of life, she giveth her self to Christ in all obedience to do his will, Rom. 6. 19. 1 Joh. 4. 13. Aynsw.
They are both very high and magnanimous sayings, but such as faith useth and love prompteth, which gives away it self, and reserving no propriety, yet enjoys more then All, in Christ. By faith (as by mariage) two are made one, and there is nothing in either, that is not common to both. Christ gives all to her, and what can she deny to such bounty? First she is chosen to be his, and then this cherisheth and strengthens her faith and love towards him; so that being joyned to him, she becomes one spirit with him, 1 Cor. 6. 17. and boasteth her self to be onelyonly his, Psal. 119. 94. which is a rare and singular priviledge of the Saints of God, and though it appear a common and easie thing to say, yet can truly be spoken by none, but those that have the Spirit of God. Annot.
There is a mutual intercourse and vicissitude of claiming interest between Christ and his Church. The words imply;
1. A mutual propriety, Christ hath a propriety in me, and I in Christ; a … with peculiarity.
2. Mutual love, affection and love to the uttermost.
3. Mutual familiarity. Christ discovers himself to her in the secret of his love and she … her self to him in prayer and meditation, opening her soul unto him upon all occasions.
4. Mutual likenesse. The one is a glasse to the other, Christ sees himselfe in me, I see my self in him, love frameth the soul to the likenesse of the party loved.
5. Mutual care of one anothers good.
6. Mutual complacency, a resting, … love.
7. Courage in owning Christs cause with …. Christ is mine, saith the resolved soul, I will be Christs. Now as Christ comes to be ours,
1. By his own and Fathers gift.
2. And By his Spirit, so we come to be his,
1. By his Fathers gift.
2. By Redemption.
3. By Mariage.
4. By consent. Sibs.
Miniamin]
The right hand, or preparing waters. One set in office by Hezekiah, 2 Chron. 31. 15. A Priest, Neh. 12. 41.
Mingle]
To mixe, temper. Hail mingled with fire, Exod. 9. 24. or, and fire catching it self among the hail; that is, one flash of lightening taking hold of another, and so the flames in folding themselves did increase and burn more terribly. This word is only used here, and in Ezek. 1. 4. The Gr. translateth it inflaming (or setting on fire; which word the Apostle useth, Jam. 3. 6.) and so the Chald. saith, inflaming it self, and David calleth it, a fire of flames, Psal. 105. 32. Aynsw.
Mingle blood with their sacrifices, Luk. 13. 1. that is, Kill them at the Altar whilest they were sacrificing.
Mingle drink with weeping, Psal. 102. 9. that is, undergoe grievous afflictions.
Mingle strong drink, Isa. 5. 22. that is, fill themselves with strong drink, give themselves over unto drunkennesse.
Mingled with fire]
;;The doctrine of heavenly Truth, clear as Crystall, coloured with hot contentions and strife, (as it were with fire:) or as others expound it accompanyed with bitter persecutions, as sharp as fire. For it is usual in Scripture, by the tearm of fire, to understand both fervent contention, as Matth. 10. Luk. 12. and also fierce tribulation, as in Job 1. 1 Pet. 4. 12. Rev. 15. 2. I saw a Sea of glasse mingled with fire. … by mingling of fire, understands the treasures of Gods judgements to be dispensed at his pleasure.
Drink mingled with gall, Mat. 27. 34. Wine mingled with myrrhe, Mar. 15. 23. Such drink was wont to be given those who were to be executed, some say to stupifie them; it may be, to keep those from fainting whom they would longer torment. The Souldiers gave it Christ in stead of drink out of barbarous inhumanity and impiety mocking him.
Mingled themselves with the people of the Lands, Ez. 9. 2. that is, joyned themselves in mariage with Idolaters and Heathen.
Mingled a perverse spirit in the midst of them, Isa. 19. 14. that is, poured out, or given them to drink, a Spirit of errour, seducement, giddynesse, disturbing all their connsels and courses.
Mingled her wine, Prov. 9. 2. In those hot Countreys, they mingled their wine with water to allay the heat of it. So doth Christ fit his heavenly instruction for our earthly capacity.
Minish]

;;A person appointed to serve the Commonwealth in ministring justice for the punishment of Vice, and praise of well dores. Rom. 13. 2. He is a Minister of God for thy welfare. 1. A Ruler ordained of God; 2 set up by God; 3 in his stead.
;;2. A person ordained to lerve the Church in administring the holy things thereof. 1 Cor. 4. 1. We are the Ministers of Christ
;;3. A Servant which attendeth and waiteth at a Table, or doth other duties of charity and mercy, Joh. 2. 5. Rom. 16. 1. …, a Minister (or servant) of the Church, &c. The title of Minister or Servant is here given unto Phoebe, because she being a rich Woman, did minister reliefe to such poor Christians as were converted to the faith; namely, to the Apostles and other that were Ministers of the Church, as before her the like did Joanna the Wife of Chuza, and Susanna, Luk. 8. 1, 2. Thus … and Haimo. Vatablus also thus judgeth.
;;And surely it is not unlike to be thus, because she had taken a long journey from Cenchrea to Rome, which old widows were unfit to doe; neither could she have been so long absent from her charg, if she had been a Deaconesse. But Theodores, Tolet, Mr. Calvin, Mr. Beza, Mr. Piscator, do think that she was one of the widows described in 1 Tim. 5. 5, 6, &c. and did attend on strangers, cherishing and lodging them, ministring to the sick, importent, and aged, as a servant and … of the Church of …, … styled in the … it ….

Guides, Teachers, Watchmen, &c.
Minister of Circumcision]
;;signifies, Christ who did execute his office and ministery only toward the people of the Circumcision, that is the Jews.
A Minister of sin]
;;One who teacheth persons freely justified and absolved from guilt and punishment of sin, being accepted for just before God by faith in Christ, to live boldly in the service of sin. Gal. 2. 17. Is therefore Christ the Minister of sin? that is, neither Christ, nor Paul the servant of Christ, taught such liberty, but the flat contrary, that justified persons have their hearts purified by faith, … are made able with … of sin, to forsake the service of it by the Spirit of Sanctification.
To minister]
It's put for to do ones office, Deut. 18. 5. Neh. 10. 36. To attend upon, 1 Sam. 2. 11. To doe justice or give judgement, Psal. 9. 8. To serve, Mat. 20. 28.

To prophesie, 1 Pet. 1. 2. To help and supply wants, 1 Pet. 4. 10, 11.

This function is wickedly turned in the Romish Synagogues, into a sacrificing Priesthood of mans devising, being no more like the Ministery of the Gospel, then darknesse is to light.
Ministery]
;;The calling of an Apostle; the generall being put for the speciall, by a Synecdoche of the whole for a part, Rom. 11. 13.
;;2. Such a function in the primitive Church, as did intend not instruction, but the exercise of Discipline only, as appeareth by setting Ministery in opposition to Prophesie, which signifies generally, whatsoever belongs to doctrine and exhortation: which two (as parts) are by Paul comprehended under that generall faculty of Prophesying, as under the generall word of Ministrey, he compriseth as three specials, 1 the Deacons, whose office was to releive the poor; 2 the Widow, whose duty was to cherish men in their sickness; 3 Spiritual Governors, whose charge was to watch over mens manners, as assistants to Teachers and Pastors.
;;Thus Calvin, Gualter, Beza, Faius, Gryneus, Martyr, Olevian. Also D. Willet and Piscator distinctly and fully so expound the place. Rom. 12. 7, 8. Let us wait on our Ministery. Thus it is read in the Greek.

Prophets used to have such (1 Sam. 10. 5.) and that to quicken their spirits, and to rouse them up from dulnesse and heavynesse. The Minstrell or Musician there intended, might be some Levite, skilful in siging divine Psalmes, and playing them on a Lute, Harp or other like instrument. It may be also that Elisha called for musick to cheer up the spirits of those that were present, to attend to his Prophesie the better.
Upon the death of the Rulers daughter there were Minstrels, Mat. 9. 23. It's like to asswage the sorrow and griefe conceived thereat.
Minstrel]
And saw the minstrels, Mat. 9. 23. This custome of having musicall instruments in funeralls, came to the latter Jews, from the rites and manner of the Gentiles; for in the Old Testament, there is no mention of any such custome. Songs of lamentation they had, Jer. 9. 17. & 22. 18. & 34. 5. Amos 6. 15. But these were performed onelyonly … the Voyce, not by Instruments. Dr. Ham. Annot. h.

…]
Miserable comsorters, Job 16. 2. Heb. comsorters of misery or trouble. Annot.
We are of all men most miserable, 1 Cor. 15. 19. in a most sad and pitiful condition. In regard that Christians do not only forsake the pleasures of this world, and are subject also for the profession of the truth, to a great many crosses, tribulations and persecutions; therefore should there be no resurrection, Christians must needs be most miserable, for then they should enjoy no good nor comfort at all, neither here nor hereafter, neither temporal nor eternal. The ground of this argument is this, that the perfect felicity of the soul, and the immortality thereof, are by Gods order inseparable from the resurrection of the bodies; therefore he that denies the one, overthrows the other. See Mat. 25. 32. Annot.
