;;Whereas Arians take advantage from this place for their errour, to prove Christ not to be true God, because the Father is the only God: Let it be marked,
;;1. That the Text saith not, that the Father only is God.

It may be derived from El, which signifies mighty, and so by increase of the word, the signification is increased, most mighty, or almighty; or, from Alah, to adjure, because of the covenant, oath, and execration, wherewith men are bound to God, according to that in Deut. 29. 12, 14, 29. …. 10. 19. Eccl. 8. 2. This honourable name God hath given unto Angels, Psal. 8. 5. and unto Magistrates, Psal. 82. 1. 5. because he hath communicated his word and power to them in a special manner.

Godlie]
Heb. 12. 28. Serve God with Godly fear, an holy awe and filial fear of his Divine Majesty. It is not enough that we do such works as belong to Gods service, but we must take heed to the manner of doing them, that they be done with reverend regard to God in such a godly sear, as may make us circumspectly handle, and meddle with his service, as the word importeth.

Godliness]
Great is the mystery of …, 1 Tim. 3. 16. The notion of piety in this place is observable for Christian Religion, the doctrine of Christ, whether as that which is it self the … way of serving and … of God, so as will be acceptable to him (and so foreign, piety) or that which prescribes and delivers the most exact and perfect way of serving God, and so by a Metonymie is called piety. That it signifies so here, as appears by the parts of this mystery, as they are here set down, being the parts of our Religion, into which all Christians are initiated or …, the foundation on which all our Christian practise is built, the branches of our initiation into Christian religion, grounds of our believing and practising the Christian doctrine. Thus ch. 6. 5. Where speaking of the wicked hereticks of those times, the Gnosticks, he mentions it as a piece of their doctrine, that foreign is foreign, … (i. e. the Christian religion, the being of that profession) is gain, mater of secular advantage In other places it's true, that foreign, piety is taken in a narrower …, for that virtue particularly of worshiping god aright, as Tit. 2. 12. in distinction from the duties towards others and our selves, 1 Tim. 6. 11. 2 Pet. 1. 6. and in one place, 1 Tim. 5. 4. for the returne of gratitude in Children to their …, which is a kinde of piety also, as the love of our Countrey, honouring of Magistrates, that are a sort of gods, as well as parents to us, is ordinarily called piety. Dr. Ham. Annot. f.
Gods]
The three persons of the Trinity in … of …. Gen. 1. 1. Gods made the world. So the Hebrew Text readeth in the plurall number. Angels also and Magistrates are thus called, Psal. 82. 1. Psal. 8, 5.
;;2. The three persons of the Godhead, each whereof is God of himself: unto equality with the three persons, Adam was tempted and aspired, Gen. 3. 5, 22.
Spoken also of Images, Gen. 31. 30, 32. & 35. 2. False and imaginary gods, Ex. 12. 12. 2 Chr. 7. 29. A false representation of the true God, …. 32. 8, 31. 2 Chron. 13. 8. Molten-gods, Exod. 34. 17.

;;signifieth the …, … were images, whereby he worshiped his gods, Gen. 31. 30. The Scriptures use to call those things gods which represent God and his presence to men, Exod. 32. 4. 1 King. 12. 28.

Gog and …]
;;All the secret and open enemies of Christ and his Church, both Papists and Turks, … themselves against the Gospel, in those last times, since the … of Satan. And … much the very names themselves import; for God sign. fieth one covered, and … … one uncovered. Rev. 20. 8. Even Gog and Megog, to gather them to …. For the better understanding of this place, we must have recourse to Ezekiel, ch. 38, & 39. where under the names Gog and Magog, are comprehended such Princes as gathered great Armies to fight against Israel, after they came from the Captivity of Babylon. This story is here in the Revelations applyed to those enemies as Satan should muster together against the Church of Christ, a little before his coming to judgement. Other Authours … Gog and Magog to the Turks and Persians, and such Regions as are at their command. Cartain it is, that a mighty Army of such Heathenish people, stirred up by the Devill (being now let loose) is meant here.
They that by Gog understand the Pope and his strength, do not consider that before this battel be, the Pope, the Beast, and false …, are utterly destroyed, and sent packing to hell; as in the former Chapter may be seen ver. 20. Bernard.
Gog signifieth Asia Minor, having … name from Gyges the King thereof. Magog is …, the chief seat of Idolatry in Syria, built by the … thians, and … them have that name. So that by the land of Magog, we are to understand Syria, and by Gog, Asia Minor. And forasmuch as the Princes and people of Syria and Asia Minor, were the most grievous enemies of the Jews, by whom they sustained the chiefest calamitles after their return before the coming of Christ: therefore by an usual speech in the … language, the mortal enemies of the Church are called Gog and Magog. And in this sense these names are used, to signifie the enemies of the Church, meaning not the same enemies whereof Ezekiel speaketh, but the like enemies of the Church, which should afflict the true Christians, as Gog and Magog afflicted the Jews. Leighs Annot.

1. The Son of Japhet, Gen. 10. 2.
2. The people that came of him, Ezek. 38. 6.
3. The daughter of Diblaim, Hos. 1. 3.
As Gomer in the Hebrew tongue sometimes signifieth fulness or perfection, and sometimes consumption; so God had shewed abundance of good unto this people, but they wasted and consumed it all, and themselves too, by idolatry and other excesses of sin, wherefore they were likewise at last to be consumed by Gods judgements.

But Paul 1 Cor. 7. 1. speaks of a personall good, which a solitary man enjoyeth, being freed from many … incumbrances. For Adam (or other men) to be alone and solitary, without a companion, and the society of a woman, had been not good, but incommodious, both for man himself, who had … a follow to live, and sweetly to converse withall: and for mankinde, which could not by one alone be …; for the Church, which was to be gathered out of … kind being multiplyed; … for the glory of God, who was to be honored in the sending of his Son made of a woman: also, in the just punishment of the reprobate, and most sree salvation of the elect, Gen. 1. 4.
