Head]

;;2. One that hath rule and preheminence over others. Thus God is the head of Christ, as Mediator; and Christ the only spiritual head of his Church, and the husband the head of his wife, because he is the more worthy sex, and her Lord and Ruler, Eph. 5. 23. 1 Cor. 11. 3. The Prince is the head of his people. Exod. 6. 14. & 18. 25.

;;Head doth argue two things: First, superiority or preheminence: Secondly, a duty to look out, and care for the safety and welfare of the inferiour members. It pleaseth God to annex and knit duties to such dignities as he giveth: so that his own Son which was crowned with glory to be head of his Church, had it joyned with this charge to instruct it as a Prophet, to make Expiatory sacrifice, as a Priest, and as a King to govern and protect it. Let not servants think much to be as their Lord is.

The Rabbins affirm that the Masters among the Jews were wont to have their Interpreters, who did receive the dictates of the Masters whispered in the ear, and then publickly propose them to all the Masters dictating softly, but the Interpreters delivering them aloud. Accordingly, Elias Levita saith that the Interpreter is mentioned Exod. 4. 16. and adds, that every Psalme that is inscribed foreign, was received from a Master, and dictated by an Interpreter. So it was an Ensign of a Master to have an Interpreter. This Christ applyes to himselfe and the Disciples, making himself the Master, dictating to them the words of life, the New Covenant, which they consequently are bound foreign, to proclaim to others, as so many foreign, aloud, publickly, on the house top, and not for fear keep in any part of it. Dr. Hamm. Annot. i.

;;By the just judgement of God to be made blind and hardened, as a punishment of former rebellion. Isa. 6. 9. 10. When men by hearing are not profited and led to obedience of that which they hear, then is this judgement fulfilled in part: but if carelesse disodedience grow to contempt, that the heart be obdurate and made more blinde by instruction, as it hapned to the obstinate Jews in the Prophets time and Christs, then in a greater measure it is accomplished, and one of the greatest curses, Mar. 4. 12.

Annot.

And was heard, Heb. 5. 7. foreign, to hear, is used by the Greek Translators of the Old Testement, to expresse foreign, to preserve, or deliver. So Psal. 55. 18. (to which the Gr. foreign, which we … render to save, is dirrctly answerable, and so is here directly joyned with foreign, in the same sense) and it is also used in other places for foreign, respondit, answered, (which is in effect the same (the answering of a praying for diliverance) being all one with delivering.) So Psa. 22. 20. Thou hast heard or answered me from the horns of the Unicorn; i. e. delivered me from that great danger. Dr. Ham. Annot. a.

Ye have heard that it was said by them os old times, Matt. 5. 21. There were three wayes among the Hebrews of interpreting Scriptures.

1 foreign, hearing, foreign, when any fact is recited, or historicall sense explicated, which to have heard, is sufficient, without any more.

A mans heart]

;;An abject, broken, and fearful heart, in comparison of a Lyon-like spirit wherewith it exalted it self. Dan. 7. 4. A mans heart was given it.

The heart to be moved]

;;Either properly the beating of the heart, or else withall the fear which coming from infidelity and distrust of Gods promises and help, doth shake the heart, as leaves are shaken with a violent wind, Isa. 7. 2.

One heart and one way]

;;Agreement and consent both in Religion and in affection, Jer. 32. 39.

A pricked heart]

;;A heart deeply wounded with bitter sorrow and grief for sins done against God. Act. 2. 37. They were pricked in heart.

A pure and clean heart]

;;A soul purged from the guilt and punishment of sin by Justification; and from the power of sin by …. Mat. 5. 8. Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God. Psal. 51. 10. Create in me a clean heart. Psal. 73. 1.

Thou … ravished my heart]

Cant. 4. 9. Or, hast taken away, hast pierced, hast wounded my heart. Christ speaketh here to his Spouse as a man overcome with love. Aynsw.

The Septuag. have an excellent word foreign, thou hast excordiated or unhearted me; which is a language of great passion, as of one struck through as with a … of fire, and buining hotly in love, whose strange force it is to transvulnerate and stupifie the very soul, so as no sense or reason is left. Never was love like unto the love of Christ. The wound of love towards us, which he had from eternity in himself, made him neglect all the wounds and reproaches of the Crosse. Are not we bound thus to love him, even to doating and madness, until like Mary Magdalen we rage with love, and with St. Paul be carryed beside our selves, and become fouls for Christs sake, 1 Cor. 4. 10, 11, 12, 13. Annot.

To say in the heart]

;;To have doubtful and perplexed thoughts about salvation. Rom. 10. 6. Say not in your heart.

;;2. To set down a thing, inwardly, or within ones self. Psal. 14. 1. The fool hath said in his heart. Not to be taken, as if any, how wicked, foolish, or mad soever, did indeed think and resolve that there was no God (for the notion of a God, that there is one, is more deeply and surely printed and setled into mans soul, then that ever it can be blotted out; no people being so barbarous but have acknowledged it) but impudent sinners would fain have it so, and gladly would think it so; yea, and live so securely, as if there were no God, forgetting his power, justice, and providence; going on in a wicked race without regard of these, as the verses following (which describe their course of life) do expound it plainly.

;;3. To purpose certainly, Gen. 8. 21.

Set me as a feal upon thy heart]

Cant. 8. 6. If spoken by Christ (according to some) then he would have us to remember him, as to be conformable to him, receiving his Image and impression, as the obsequious wax doth the whole figure, and example of the seal, 2 Cor. 4. 10. that so we may be approved … owned of him, and not admit any into our hearts, but himself alone. But if spoken by the Church, then they shew her earnest desire after further assurance and confirmation of his love, that being her High Priest, he would carry her upon his breast, and upon his shoulders too, as Aaron did the Tribes, Exod. 28. 11, 12, 21. that so she might be kept dearly and safely from all her enemies, and never forgotten by him. Annot.

She desired Christ to be her merciful and faithful High Priest, in things pertaining to God, Heb. 3. 17. that he would have a continual care of her salvation, mindful of her himself, and making a memorial of her before God his Father; and that this affection of love might not vanish away, but be as a deep impression in his heart for ever. Aynsw.

Sincerity of heart]

;;signifies, not an absolute perfection of heart, but simplicity without fraud or hypocrisie, Gen. 20. 5.

Singleness of heart]

;;Godly simplicity and uprightness of minde, when in doing duties even to men, yet Gods will and glory is chiefly lookt unto and respected. Ephes. 6. 6. In singleness of heart, not with eye-service, &c.

;;Note: The heart is the seat of wisdom, knowledge and understanding, Eccl. 7. 27. Prov. 7. 7.

To be sorry in his heart]

;;signifieth, To be greatly and earnestly grieved, Gen. 6. 6.

To speak to ones heart]

;;To give kinde and comfortable words, which may cheer the minde which is sad and heavy. Gen. 34. 3. He spake to the heart of the maid. So it is translated by Tremel. Also, Gen. 50. 51. Isa. 40. 1.

To steal away the heart]

;;To go away privily by stealth (as it were) without the knowledge of Laban. Gen. 31. 20. Jacob stole away the heart of Laban. See marg.

;;2. To incite and allure the love and good will of others unto us. 2 Sam. 15. 6. He stole the hearts of the people.

True heart]

;;An heart touched with a true sense of sin and misery, Heb. 10. 22.

Heart]

Cant. 5. 2. I sleep, but mine heart waketh. The inner man, the spirit, or man as he is regenerate, opposed to the flesh or outward man, Rom. 2. 28, 29. and the flesh and spirit, even in … children do lust one against p. 295another, that we cannot do the things we would, Gal. 5. 17. and when the spirit is willing (to watch, pray, &c.) … flesh is weak, Mat. 26. 41. Whereas therefore her heart waked while she slept, it signifieth that she gave not her self wholly to this negligence, but as the wise Virgins had their lamps burning, while all shumbered and slept, when the lamps of the foolish were gone out, Mat. 25. 4, 5, 8. So she had now given her self to fleshly ease, but had her heart and spirit otherwise disposed. Aynsw.

Some expound this heart objectively for Christ who (as lovers use to call one another) is the Churches heart, so beloved by her, and discharging those functions for her, which she could not for her self. Others bend the word to mean fundamentals and essentials, which are the heart of Religion, wherein the Church is, and shall be preserved Orthodox and pure, even when she may dormitate and lapse in lesser things. Others understand conscience, whose property it is even in the deepest luxury and lethargies wherein men can be buryed, to lash them up by sharp and stinging accusations and terrours. When remisseness and security had oppressed her in great measure, yet the inward bent and motion of her heart was active and vigilant. Though through native frailty and corruption, the best may put back and lay aside divine imployments and meditations, and devout exercises, (that is, as to the constant act and observation) yet the godly heart is ever enclining to them, and even when besotted and stupified by carnal temptations and diversions, doth yet contend and desire to wait faithfully on Christ. Annot.

In all the powers of the soul there is something good and something ill, something flesh and something spirit. As a Christian may know how it is with himself, though he be mixed of … and spirit: So we should as well acknowledge that which is good as that which is evil in our hearts. Gods children never totally fall from grace, though they sleep, yet their heart is …. A Christian is what his heart and inward man is. A waking state is a blessed state. Sibs.

With all thy heart]

;;Perfection. Mat. 22. 37. Love the Lord thy God with all thy heart. This is a legal sentence, requiring perfection of love, which is found in Christ only, and in the Saints which be in heaven.

;;2. Sincerity. Hezekiah and David served God with all their heart, & Psal. 119. 2. This is an Evangelical sentence, requiring but uprightnesse of love, which is found in all the Saints on earth.

With the whole heart]

;;Without hypocrisie and faigning even sincerity. Jer. 3. 10. Judah hath not returned to me with her whole heart, but saignedly.

To write the Law in the heart]

;;To engrave and print naturally the difference of good and evil in mans understanding. Rom. 2. 15. Which shew the effect of the Law written in their hearts.

;;2. To renew supernaturally the Soul unto the Image of God, to resemble him in righteousnesse and true holinesse. Jer. 31. 33. I write my Law in their hearts.

Hearted]

Mentioned with Broken, Isa. 61. 1. (such as are humbled and brought low by … and anguish, and throughly touched with a lively sense of their sins, the procuring cause thereof. Annot.) Faint, Deut. 20. 8. Fearfull, soft, tender. Aynsw. Hard, Ezek. 3. 7. (of which before) Merry, Isa. 24. 7. (the Wine-drinkers, v. 9. So called, because Wine makes the heart merry, 2 Sam. 13. 28. Est. 1. 10. Psal. 104. 15. Zech. 10. 7. Annot.) Stout, Psal. 76. 5. (mighty of heart, slubborn-hearted, a title of the wicked that are far from justice, Isa. 46. 12. called here in Gr. unwise in heart. Aynsw.) Tender, Eph. 4. 32.

Willing, Exod. 35. 22. (free) …, Exod. 28. 3. Such as had the spirit of Wisdome, in all manner of Workmanship, &c. Exod. 31. 2 — 6.

I am he which searcheth the hearts, Rev. 2. 23. Psal. 7. 9. Jer. 11. 20. & 17. 10. They shall know that I am the true God by my punishing them for their secret sins. Psal. 90. 8. 2 Sam. 12. 12. Ezek. 8. 12. Annot.

Hearty]

Prov. 27. 9. By hearty …, Heb. from the counsell of the soul, marg.

Taken properly, for, The heat of the weather, burning of the Sun, the great heat that issueth out of the fire, as that which cometh out of the mouth of a Furnac or Oven, 1 Sam. 11. 11. 2 Sam. 4. 5. Psal. 19. 6. Isa. 44. 16. Dan. 3. 22. So for warmth of the body, 1 King. 1. 2. Eccl. 4. 11.

Heat of the fire]

;;Inward indignation, blinde …, and bitterness of minde, together with outward strife, contention and debate, wherewith not only open enemies, but Hypocrites should be vexed for striving against the Sun and light of the Gospel, shining upon their consciences, and checking them. Rev. 16. 8. It was given him to torment men with heat of fire, or to scorch men with fire.

Heath]

is a shrub well known, and groweth in hungry and barren places, as both experience teacheth, and the Prophet declareth, Jer. 17. 6. It's good for fuel, for Cattel to feed upon, and is also profitable in Physick.

Heathen]

People and Nations which were not of the Israelites, Lev. 25. 44. 2 King. 16. 3. Gal. 1. 16. after whose example the Israelites walked, 2 King. 17. 8. 11, 15. They were enemies to Gods people, Neh. 5. 9. Psal. 2. 1. Whom God drove out, Psal. 44. 3. but justifieth by faith, Gal. 3. 8. Such are set forth by Infidels, 1 Tim. 5. 8. Unbelievers, 1 Cor. 6. 6.

Heaven]

;;Godwho dwelleth and reigneth in heaven Luk. 15. 21. Father, I have sinned against heaven, and against thee. Luk. 20. 4. Was it from heaven, or of men? This is uncreated heaven, Dan. 4. 26. Mat. 21. 25. A Metonymie.

;;2. The seat and Mansion of blessed Angels and godly men. Mat. 5. 19. Great is your glory in heaven. Act. 3. 21. This is the heaven of the blessed, called the third heaven.

;;3. The visible Church on earth. Rev. 12. 7. There was a great battel in heaven. And very often it is thus taken in the Revelation, as the attentive Reader may well perceive. This is heaven on earth.

;;4. The Spheres or Orbs, and the elementary Region. Psal. 19. 1. The heavens declare the glory of God. Heavens are named by the Hebrews, of their thin, fine and subtle substance.

;;5. The air next unto us. Mat. 9. 26. The birds of heaven labour not. & 13. 32. The birds of heaven build their nests in the branches, &c. This is the airy Heaven, called the Skie.

All this outspread, or firmament spread over the face of the earth, God calleth Heaven, Gen. 1. 8. The place above, where the Sun and Stars be, is called Heavens, Gen. 1. 17. And the highest place, where the Angels dwell, and where God himself is said to sit, and have his throne is likewise tearmed heaven, Mat. 6. 9. & 24. 36. which is by the Apostle named the third heaven, 2 Cor. 12. 2. So other Scriptures mention the birds of heaven, Psal. 8. 8. The winds of heaven, Dan. 7. 2. The clouds of heaven, Dan. 7. 13. The Dew of heaven, Dan. 4. 12. As heaven is not only the dwelling place of the Angels and Saints, but generally all places above us, where the clouds, winds, birds, and stars be: So …, though by custome of our speech it be usually taken for the place of Devils and damned Reprobates, yet the word is more large, and signifies all places beneath; in which large sense it may answer the Heb. word Sheol, which is a deep place, and is beneath, as heaven is above, Job 11. 8. Prov. 9. 18. Psal. 86. 12. …. 32. 22. Isa. 14. 9. It cometh of Shaal, to crave, ask, require, because it requireth all men to come to it, and is never satisfied, Psal. 89. 48. Prov. 30. 15. & 27. 20. It is a place or estate which all men even the best come unto, for Jacob made account to goe thither, Gen. 37. 35. and Job desired to be there, Job 14. 13. & 17. 13. And our Lord Christ was there, as Psal. 16. 9 Act. 2. 31. sheweth: and Solomon saith, All go thither, Eccl. 9. 10.

;;9. The uppermost region of the air, where the Meteors be. Gen. 19. 23. Rained fire and … from heaven.

13. The Meteors gendred in the air, as, for the clouds, Jam. 5. 18.

14. The Sun, Moon, and Stars, Psal. 148. 1. compared with vers. 3. which in 1 Cor. 15. 40. are called Celestial bodies.

15. All places above us, Dan. 9. 12. Psal. 19 6. & 78. 26. Whence snow, Isa. 55. 10. Windes and frosts come, Job 38. 29.

16. An high state of great dignity, Isa. 14. 12.

17. The circuit and circumference of it, Isa. 40. 12.

Heaven]

;;Angels the Inhabitants of heaven, who shall wonder at the strange and great alterations which the Gospel shall make, Heb. 12. 26.

All things in heaven and earth]

;;The faithfull Jews, which believing on Christ to come, (being now triumphant in heaven (touching their souls) with their head:) and both believing Jews and Gentile, yet militant on earth, Eph. 1. 10. It is rightly applyed to the good Angels, who being voyd of sin needed no reconciliation, neither are they the members of Christ, but servants to him, and to his Church.

Heaven of brasse]

;;An heaven which powreth not down the rain to make the earth fruitfull. Deut. 28. 23. The heaven above thee shall be brasse. 1 King. 8. 35. There shall be unfruitfulnesse and great barrennesse.

The dayes of heaven]

;;The perpetuity and continual durance of heaven, even as long as heaven endureth. Psal. 89. 29. And his throne as the dayes of heaven.

Heaven departed]

;;The whole face of the Church (and not the Ministers alone) to be covered with that black darknesse of calamity which is here threatned. Rev. 6. 14. And the heaven departed.

No state so high or lofty, but was made to sloop and give way at Christs presence and appearance in judgement. chap. 20. 11. Isa. 34. 4. Annot.

Or, the heaven vanished, &c. That is, the stars of heaven appeared not, even as letters vanish in a book rolled up together after the manner of the Ancients; so that this of the disappearing of the heavens, and the other, of the fall of the stars, do mutually explain themselves, and ought to have been included within the same Comma point. The whole place is taken out of Isa. 34. 4. where the Holy Ghost doth paint out the destruction and ruine of the Kingdome of Idem, as here the Kingdome of Idols. For the Stars of the Romans heaven of Idol gods, were both the gods themselves, being … of this Kingdome under Satan their Prince, and also the Priests being Peers though of an inferiour rank, for Stars differ … Stars in degree, and in height. Mede.

Heaven and earth]

;;The world, as Act. 17. 24. or the universal and whole fabrick of the world, divided into these two great parts, heaven and earth, (as Augustine calleth them) which by a …, do more largely signifie all things therein contained, even from the cope of heaven unto the center of the earth. Gen. 1. 1. God created heaven and earth. Thus Paul expounds Moses, Col. 1. 16. Also, heaven and earth in innumerable Scriptures, as Gen. 2. 1, 4. & 14. 24. & Exod. 20. 5, 5. & Psal. 124. v. last. Act. 4. 24. & 14, 15, &c. alluding to Moses, do plainly shew the meaning to be …; also our Creed.

From one end of heaven to the other]

;;The whole compasse of the world; even to the utmost and furthermost, or most remote parts of the world. Psal. 19. 6. His going out is from the end of heaven, &c.

To enter into …]

;;To pierce through these visible heavens, and to passe into the Supreme and highest heavens, Heb. 14. 4.

From heaven]

Heb. 12. 25. that is, Christ who came from heaven, Job. 3. 13. as by him that spake on earth, (or from the earth) Moses is to be understood. ….

God of heaven]

;;So called, because … made the heaven and earth, Jer. 11.

;;2. Because he dwelleth in heaven, he giveth visible tokens of his presence.

;;3. Because in the heavens his glory, greatnesse, and power are most ser forth, Dan. 2. 22.

Heaven of heavens]

;;The Firmament, which doth comprehend in it all the inferiour heavens. 1 King. 8. 27. The heavens cannot contain him.

The … of heaven]

;;All celestial creatures, Angels and Stars. Gen. 2. 1. He made heaven, and the hoast thereof.

;;2. The … only. Jer. 33. 22. As the hoast of heaven cannot be numbred.

In heaven]

;;That glorious divine Majesty, manifested fully in heaven, and from thence expressed mightily in his manifold works upon earth. Matt. 6. 9. Our Father which art in heaven. Matt. 5. 48. As your Father which is … heaven. Isa. 66. 1. Rom. 1. 18. Psal. 50. 6.

;;2. The holy Angels which be in heaven, Mat. 6. 11.

… of …]

;;The middle place or distance between heaven and earth.

;;2. An estate of a Church somewhat purged from filthy corruption, yet not so purified as it ought. Rev. 8. 13. Heard an Angel flying from the midst of heaven.

Heaven to rejoyce]

;;The company of the godly, to leap for joy and gladnesse, because of the victory and salvation which Christ giveth them over their spiritual enemies, delivering and saving them from their sury. Rev. 18. 20. O heaven rejoyce over her.

;;The Church on earth, and the godly, which be the true members of it. Rev. 12. 12. Rejoyce ye heavens, and ye that dwell therein. Also Rev. 13. 6. And them that dwell in heaven. Rev. 6. 13. Stars of heaven; that is, the Ministers of the Church. The reason why the Church reformed here on earth, is called heaven, is because of that heaven, (which is the seat and habitation of the Saints) there is no more lively image and picture here in earth, then the universal company of Saints, which is the true Militant Church of Christ.

These have power to shut heaven, &c. Rev. 11. 6. An allusion to 1 King. 17. 1. & Exod. 7. 20. whereby is to be understood the great power of the Ministery, the contempt whereof the Lord would no more suffer, then he did the contempt of the Ministery of those former Prophets, Moses and Elias, but that vengeance should be taken of the adversaries of these, as was before of their enemies. ….

This is the great power of Preachers, either to bring the thoughts of men to Christs obedience, or then to execute ready vengeance on the disobedient. Cowper.

The … heaven]

;;2 Cor. 12. This is expounded three wayes.;;

p. 297;;1. Of the place, that Paul was in in the highest heaven, called for the pleasure thereof, Paradise.;;

;;2. Of the heavenly manner of his taking up thither; not only by seeing things earthly with bodily eyes, nor only by seeing spiritually with the minde or soul, the images or shapes of heavenly things; but also with minde, or body, or both, seeing immediately the heavenly things themselves, and that in heaven; for he is sure of one of these last.;;

;;3. Of the heavenly matters or objects which Saint Paul saw; that is, the highest matters, and that in the highest heaven, for they were such as he durst not or could not utter.;;

Heavenly Jerusalem]

Heb. 12. 22. so called,

1. Because it cometh from heaven, through Gods effectual calling, Rev. 3. 12. & 21. 2, 10.

And 2. because it shall ascend to heaven, Col. 3. 4. Annot.

Heavenly things]

;;Doctrine, Ministery of the Gospel, Sacraments, Prayers, yea the Church and company of the faithfull, Heb. 9. 23.

Some understand hereby Christ himself, and those spiritual blessings which the faithfull obtain through faith in him. For Christ himself was consecrated, or made perfect through sufferings, chap. 2. 10. Others understand the Church under the Gospel, and those spiritual graces whereof the members are made partakers therein (the Church under the Gospel being called the … Jerusalem, chap. 12. 22. and those graces being called spiritual blessings in heavenly places, Ephes. 1. 3.) others understand heaven it self, whereinto Christ entred, vers. 24. Annot.

Heavens]

But the heavens and the earth which are now, 2 Pet. 3. 7. These are here set, to signifie the whole compages of this … world, and all the creatures that are in it, all that was destroyed by the Flood, and is now secured from perishing so again, and is reserved for Fire; by which it is (by perpetual tradition) believed, that the world shall finally be destroyed. Dr. Ham. Annot. e.

To be lifted above the heavens]

;;To be most highly praised and glorified, for the works of his great power … majesty. Psal. 108. Exalt thy self (O God) above the heavens.

Heavens open]

;;The great glory of Christ his holy Church, manifested, and apparently shewed to the eyes of all. Rev. 19. 11. After I saw the heavens opened.

Opening the heavens]

;;The cleaving and parting of the heavens visibly, as the eye (through some quicknesse added to it) might pierce above the stars and planets to see the heavenly glory. Luk. 3. 2. The heaven was opened. So expounded by Mark 1. 10. He saw the heavens cloven, or rent. Thus also we may take that place in Act. 7. 56. There was a miracle wrought both in the heavens, which were changed by division, and in his eyes, which … endowed with extraordinary quicknesse, that they might reach so high.

;;Secondly, sensible manifestation of divine glory. Joh. 1. vers. last, Ye shall see heaven opened. Where Christ promiseth to his Disciples, that he should give them strange and wondrous tokens of his divine Majesty, to … their faith in him, that he was the Son of God, the King of Israel, as Nathaniel had a little before confessed; which is to be extended not to any one time or marvellous act, but to all his mighty works done by the Ministery of his Angels, serving him as their Lord and Prince, even to his last returning, or second coming in the clouds in the glory of his Father, and his own glory; and waited on by innumerable Angels, Mat. 25. 31. Or as some expound this place of John, of the access we have to heaven in and through Christ, that having him our Advocate, nothing shall hinder the beleevers from beholding God in heaven.

New heavens]

;;The heavens which are now under … and corruption, restored into a perfect estate and liberty. Rev. 21. 1. I saw new heavens. Some Interpreters, which think this Chapter to give, not a description of heaven, the seat of the blessed, (shewing what shall be the happinesse of the Saints, after the resurrection and judgement,) but of the Church which shall be on earth, a little afore the judgement, when the Jews shall be restored to the Communion of Saints, do interpret [new heavens] of the most pure way of worshipping God; and the [new earth] to signifie a new people, in whose assemblies God will be honoured. Let the learned judge which signification is fittest, for both are true.

To ride upon the heavens]

;;To make known and shew forth his divine Majesty and omnipotency, Psal. 68. 4.

Dr. Ham. Annot. i.

Hell]

;;The grave, which is the companion of death, or the estate which follows after death; both the Greek words signifie grave, … the matter requires this sense. For many Saints were to die amongst others; but it were wickedness to think the Saints to be devoured of the Hell of the damned. Rev. 6. 8. And hell sollowed after him. Rev. 20. 13.

Also, by Hell the estate of the dead is noted, yea, though they were godly and in joyes, Gen. 37. 11. Psal. 26. 6. Lastly, by application of this Text, Act. 2. where that is affirmed to have befaln to David, Act. 2. 29. which is denyed to Christ, Act. 2. 23. Therefore, whither Christs soul came and remained not, there David's came, and was left: but Davids soul was not left in the place of torment, no more then Lazarus was, Luk. 16. 20. Christ therefore came not thither in soul.

;;Finally, where Christs soul came, there it remained till the resurrection, as appeareth by loosing the sorrows of death, Act. 2. 24. Whereof the not leaving of his soul in hell, is given as a reason, Act. 2. 25. but Christs soul was in Paradise the day that he …, as was the … with him, Luk. 23. 43. And Paradise is heaven, 2 Cor. 12. 2, 4. which a Fryer denyed, affirming by Paradise in Luke to be meant Hell, lest he should be sorced to confesse, that Christ in his soul went to heaven, as his body went into the earth.

The providence of God so ordered it, as that all these false reproaches and attempts of infection prevailed not, but vanished away, even as a flood of land-water is swallowed up of the earth, and is seen no more. Hall.

There was a speedy riddance of this flood within Satans own dominion. Bernard. There's an allusion to the history of Korah, Dalhan, and Abiram, who rose up against Moses and …, Numb. 16. 32. As they were holpen by the earth against them, so God holp the woman here against the flood of most noysome and dangerous heresies, that they should not drown her; that is, did wonderfully put them down with their Authors, that they did vanish away, as if they had been swallowed up of the earth. All those heresies which for the space of 300 years overwhelmed the Christian world, were through the powerfull efficacy of the holy Scriptures, and zeal of Orthodox Teachers, driven (as it were) into smoke.

Works and faith which meet and agree well enough (like good friends) in a Christian conversation, can by no means stand together in the justification of a sinner before God; here they be irreconcileable enemies.

3. Others, that they were his Courtiers, & houshold servants.

4. But saith Goodwyn in his Moses and Aaron, p. 74. I incline to St. Hierom, whose opinion is, that the Herodians were those who stood stifly for tribute to be paid to Caesar, and that in the behalf of Herod; whom it concerned to further Caesars tribute, not only in way of thankfullnesse (having at first received his Crown from him) but in way of policy, to prevent a possible deposing or disceptring; for it was in Caesars power to take away the Crown again when he pleased.
