Palmer-worm]
A noisome worm, devouring the fruit of the earth, Joel 1. 4. Amos 4. 9. One of Gods great Army, Joel 2. 25. The original foreign is by Ab. Esra derived (saith Buxtors.) of foreign, which signifieth; to clip, bite off; cut or crop, for so doth the Palmer-worm, the vineyards, fig-trees, olivetrees, &c. Amos 4. 9. Their place of residence is uncertain, as also their food. They wander from place to place, and are therefore termed Palmer-worms, still feeding on what's not their own.
Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands, Isa. 49. 16. or, I have drawn thee (pourtrayed thee, as Ezek. 4. 1.) on my hands, as Psal. 119. 48. Lam. 3. 41.

Palm-tree]
It's upright and tall of stature, beareth sweet fruits, and hath the leaves alwayes green and flourishing, being good for shadow, Psal. 92. 12. Cant. 7. 7, 8. Jer. 10. 5. It groweth not but where sweet waters are, and lasteth a long time. The wood cannot be pressed down or broken by any weight. The branches hereof were anciently taken as ensignes of victory. See Joh. 12. 13. Rev. 7. 9. The Original foreign signifieth also a Date-tree, so that we may judge the Palm and the Date tree to be one and the same. In the Greek it is foreign, Joh. 12. 13. Rev. 7. 9. from the Phoenix (saith one) because it liveth so long. Whence Phoenicia, from the abundance of Palms there growing. And it is thus named from the colour, for the Palm, and its juice, is reddish. Both its leaves, branches, and fruit are useful in Physick. (Of artificial Palm-trees, see 1 King. 6. 29, 32. 35. & 7. 36. 2 Chr. 3. 5. Ezek. 40. 16, 22, 26, 31, 34, 37. & 41. 18, 20, &c.) The Elephants do much love the fruit of this tree, but the … hereof being very hard and prickly, the fruit is not got … difficulty. The leaves of the Palm are formed like a sword, and set in manner of a Pyramis, long, smooth, thick set, flexible, joyned together, fit whereof to make baskets, bending upwards toward heaven. Its … is round, and groweth deep in the ground. Its fruit is sweet, and the riper it is, it is the fuller of moysture; and the more it hath of the Sun, the more savoury. It's fruitful if it be set in a lean sandy soyl, hot Countrey, and not be alone, but have another set by it. Of these, the one must be male, from whence the winde passing through the female, it fuctifieth, which (if the male be cut down) waxeth barren within two dayes, but if the leaves or flowers of the male be sprinkled about it, it again fructifieth. The older it is, the better is its fruit, nor is it fruitful, till it be an hundred years old. If its fruit be not fully ripe, it's not fit to be eat, but is harmfull.
There is one kinde of Palm, whereof (as it's said) there's but one only in the world, which doth not multiply, as the others do, but when through age it's quite spent and gone, then doth it again revive and recover of it self. Whence it's said that the … (which in Greek is the same with the Palm) taketh its name.
Palm-tree]
;;A tree, tall and streight, whose Nature is not to be pressed down with weight, but to grow the more.
;;2. The Church, which is not made crooked with the weight of afflictions, but rather becometh more upright and strong, Cant. 7. 7. This thy stature is like a Palm-tree.
This tree (called in Hebrew Thamar, in Greek Phoenix,) is of a tall and upright stature, alwayes green and flourishing, bearing pleasant fruit. Wherefore the just mans state is likened to this tree, Psal. 92. 13. and figures of palmtrees (signifying heavenly graces) were made in the Temple, 1 King. 6. 29. & 7. 36. and foretold to be also in the spiritual Temple under the Gospel, Ezek. 41. 18, 19. and palm-branches, carryed in the hand or on the head, were signs of victory, Rev. 7. 9. And the Palm-tree is said to be of such a Nature, that it will not bow downward or grow crooked, though heavy weights be laid upon it, but groweth still upright. So this stature of the Spouse likened to a Palm-tree, sheweth her spiritual growth in the faith (notwithstanding all her tribulations) tending alwayes upward towards heaven, till she attain unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ, Ephes. 4. 13. for now God hath broken the staves of her yoke, and made her grow upright, Lev. 26. 13. See Ezek. 19. 11. Aynsw.
This tree is one of the noblest and most famous of all the forrest, and is the usual embleme and symbole of constancy, fruitfulness, patience and victory; which the more it is oppressed, the more it flourisheth, the higher it grows, the stronger and broader it is in the top. Annot.
It's also easie to be climbed, having many boughs whereon to stay hands and feet, (others hold the contrary) So doth the Church readily entertain all the faithful that come to her. Cotton.
Palsie]

Why dost thou not pardon, Job 7. 21.

;;Others do refer this to Christ his locall descension into hell, which they determine to be in the middle or belly of the earth: but the first exposition is soundest, and fittest, as appeareth by the antithesis or opposition between his ascending on high, far above all heavens, and his descending into the lower parts of the earth; which plainly proveth that here is meant not the descension of his soul from the higher parts of the earth, into hell (as some would have it) but the debasing of his Godhead for a time, from the higher parts of heaven into the earth, which is the nethermost part of the world, where he walked and lived amongst men, being seen, felt, and heard, 1 Joh. 1. 1. 2 Joh. 1. 24.

Partition]
A wall which divided the Most holy place, from the Holy place, 1 King. 6. 21. or, between the outward Court of the Gentiles, and that of the people, which hindered all passage, sight, and communion between them, Ezek. 43. 20. Hereunto allusion is made by the Apostle, Eph. 2. 14. where it's said that Christ hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us.
By the Ceremonies and worship appointed by the Law, the Jews were divided from the Gentiles, which being taken away by Christ he joyneth them both together, both in himself and between themselves, and to God. Through him then the Gentiles have a free accesse now by the Gospel, unto the Church, and the benefits thereof.
Partition]

(here) the middle (or half) wall of partition, on which (saith Josephus) was written, foreign, that no stranger might goe into the inner Court. Dr. Ham. on Mat. 23. Annot. d.
Those Proselites were by the Jews so far accounted unclean, according to the Law, that they were not permitted to come into that Court of the Temple, called holy, where the Jews were, So it is charged upon them as a fault, Ezek. 44. 7. that they had brought into Gods Sanctuary strangers, And Act. 21. 28. on Paul that he brought Greeks into the Temple.

A bird, whose flesh strengtheneth the stomach, and breedeth good blood, hunted asrer even in the mountains, 1 Sam. 26. 20. The males in stead of the females do often couple together, he that hath vanquished the other, thus against Nature abusing his fellow. The male is so libidinous, that it breaketh the eggs which the female layeth, that he may still enjoy her company, for the prevention whereof the female is very careful. Its own egges being broken, she taketh others out of other nests, but the young ones which come thereof forsake her, her stollen goods for which she hath cared so much, profit not, Jer. 17. 11. Its young ones being in danger of the Hunter, she doth as it were offer her selfe to be caught by him, her young ones in the mean time making an …, as thereafter she also doth.

;;The Lamb slain and eaten, which is called the Passeover, because it was a signe of God his passing over the houses of the Israelites, when he slew the first born of Aegypt. Exod. 12. 11. For it is the Lords …. 2 Chr. 5. 1. Exod. 12. 25, 26, 27. Deut. 16. 3. Mat. 26. 17, 18. Christ eat the Passeover, &c. This is the Typical and Sacramental Passeover.
;;2. Christ, by whose death we escape the wrath to come. 1 Cor. 5. 7. Christ our passeover is slain for us. This is our Spiritual paschal Lamb, who was the substance of the Jewish Passeover, and of all other legal Sacraments and Types.
;;In the first Passeover, three things were extraordinary:
;;First, the sprinkling of bloud on the dore posts, signified the sprinkling of Christs bloud, 1 Pet. 1.
;;Secondly, the eating with loynes girt, staves in their hands, signified, the leaving off all uncleanness, 1 Pet. 1. 13, 14.
;;Thirdly, their tarrying in the house till the morning, whereunto Isaiah alludes, ch. 17.
;;Note further, touching the …, that the first and last day was an holy convocation, to signifie, that all our life, from the beginning to the end, ought to be holy, 1 Cor. 5. 7.
;;The Jewish Passeover was an holy action ordained of God, in the killing and eating of a Lamb, partly to the end the Jewish Church might keep in memory the benefit which God did for them in the Land of Aegypt, when he passed over their houses; and slew the first born both of man and beast, of the Aegyptians. Also to be a Testimony of Gods good will towards them, and to be a Type of Christ the true Paschal Lamb. Moreover to gather all the partakers thereof into the fellowship of one body: and finally, to put them in minde to be thankful and innocent in their conversation.
1. It was called the Passeover; because the destroying Angel passed over all their houses, whose dore posts were stricken with the bloud thereof, and wherein the same was eaten, Exod. 12. 27. So is Christ called, because Gods wrath passes over all them whose souls are sprinkled with his bloud, and truly by faith feed upon him, 1 Cor. 5. 7.
2. It was killed before Israel was delivered, Exod. 12. 6. So Christ behoved to suffer, before we could be redeemed, Act. 17. 2.
3. It was killed before Moses Law, or Aaron's sacrifices were enjoyned, To shew that by none of them, but by the true Passeover, that Lamb of God killed from the beginning, deliverance comes to mankinde, Rom. 3. 25. Heb. 9. 14.
4. It was killed, and to be killed yearly, the first monethmonth of the year, when the day lengthening, and the Sun ascendding, every thing beginneth to revive, Exod. 12. 2. To shew that by the true Passeover, not only is our time and all other things sanctified, but that also we should in recent remembrance of that benefit of our redemption, all our dayes and years be thankful to our gracious Redeemer, and that by his death true life and reviving came unto mankinde, Eph. 5. 4, 20.
5. It was slain the 14th. day, which was the fourth day after the separation thereof, Exod. 12. 6. which was then full Moon, shadowing, that then Christ should suffer, when the fulness of Ceremonial light was in them accomplished, and in his death, to make a full period, ever thereafter to decay; as also to shew,
1. That instantly after his birth, our Passeover should not be sacrificed, till the appointed hour; and
2. That as thereby they were taught to prepare themselves to the eating thereof, so should we to the eating of our Lamb, by true faith and repentance, 1 Cor. 11. 28.
6. In the evening the Passeover was killed, Exod. 12. 18. shewing thereby, that in the latter time Christ should suffer; and as at night there is darkness, and all at rest; so when all mankinde was sitting in darkness of minde and life, and all the world at a general outward rest of peace, then should our Saviour come and suffer.
As also the killing thereof at Even, did shew, how that at Even the Sun setteth, so it was the Sun of … that was to suffer and dye, and at his Passion that universal darkness should be upon the whole earth, Luke 23. 44.
There are several other particulars (the number of the whole being 34.) shewing the resemblance between Christ and the Passeover; as also some others, shewing their disparity or difference: whereof see Mr. Guild in his Moses unvailed, p. 58. 59, 60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66.
Whether Christ did celebrate the … at the very same time, and on the very same day wherein the Jews did, is controverted btween …, who holdeth the … and Casaubonus, who holdeth the Negative; whereof see a little Tract, entituled, Johannis …. … Epistola, ad virum Cl. D. … de …; printed 1634.

;;3. The sufferings which Christs members endure for his sake. Col. 1. 24. To fulfil the rest of the passions of … 1 Pet. 4. 13. Ye are partakers of Christs passions, or sufferings.
;;4. Every motion of the minde being out of his due course, and every sinful affection; which are called passions, because they pierce the minde, and make it suffer grief. Rom. 7. 5. The affections (or passions) of sin, &c. For the word … the Originall is Pathemata.

Patience of the Saints]
;;The tryall and proof of their patience, which should be known to be true and sound, if no threatnings nor cruelty of Antichrist should drive them from Christ. Rev. 14. 12. Here is patience of the Saints.
Here is the main matter, wherein the patience and faith of Gods servants shall be exercised 1 Pet. 1. 6, 7. Or, here is good ground for patience and faith in Gods servants, to wit, that God will certainly destroy their persecuters that make them slaves, and kill their brethren, and seek to destroy them daily. The certain hope of Antichrists ruine, should uphold all Gods people that are persecuted by him. Annot. on 13. 10.
Or, here is the vengeance that shall be executed on their enemies, who patiently endured death, for obedience to God, and holding fast the true Religion against the Papists. Or, now shall the patience and obedience of Gods servants be made known to the world. It shall appear who are true, and who are counterfeit Christians. By Antichrists fierce persecution, the Chaste shall be separated from the Wheat, and the Drosse from the gold. Or, after the Gospell preached, and the Pope declared to be Antichrist, there shall be greater persecutions then before, and the patience of Gods servants more tryed, as appeareth in the persecutions and wars since the Waldenses and Luthers time. The Pope like the Devil rageth, because his time is short, Chap. 12. 12. Annot. on … 14. 12.

The Gospel of Christ, so called, partly because it teacheth patience, (it is a doctrine of patience) and that in the highest degree; and partly, because the keeping of it requireth patience, without which, and that in some good measure, the profession of it cannot be maintained so as it should. Luk. 21. 19. Heb. 10. 36. Annot.
Patient minde, or moderation]
;;Quiet and setled minde, waiting for help from God, in due time. Phil. 4. 5. Let your patient minde be known to all men.

I beseech thee to hear me patiently (neither being angry, nor weary) Act. 26. 3. As he commended his knowledge, so he intreateth his pationce. They that know most, ought to be most attentive, where matters of Religion are controverted. Impatience in hearing matters of so high concernment, concludeth ignorance or impiety. Annot.

Parmos]
Rev. 1. 9. An Isle of the Aegean Sea; one of the Cyclades, where John did write his Revelation, being confined hither by Domitian. His hand the Greek Priests affirme to be reserved in the principal Monastery hereof, and that the nailes thereof being cut do grow again.
The Island is very harborous, by which means only the people live; for the Countrey is of it self so barren, that it affords nothing almost fit for sustenance. Heylyn Geog.
Some reckon it among the Isles called Sporades, and say that it is a desert place. Annot.
