See this in part fulfilled in Act. 21. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, &c.
Holinesse to the Lord, graven upon the Mitre, which was to be on Aaron's forehead, Exod. 28. 36, 37, 38. imported, that the High priest (who was a type of Christ) and all that belonged to him, were consecrate to God.

Thou wilt not suffer thy holy one to see corruption. Luk. 4. 34. I know who thou art, even the holy one of God. Such an one is Christ onelyonly, who being both properly God and (as man) conceived of the holy Ghost, without sin, ordained to be the Sacrifice for sin, and to sanctifie and make all his people holy. In these respects he is often worthyly in Scripture called that holy one. Act. 3. 14. Ye have denyed that holy one. 1 Joh. 2. 20. Also, he is termed the holy of holyest, or most holy. Dan. 9. 24. And to anoint the most holy.
;;5. One who is not only most holy in himself, but doth immediately by his virtue and working, renew and make holy others, contiually stirring them up unto holy duties. Thus is the Spirit, the third person in the Trinity, called Holy, Mat. 28. 19. And the holy Ghost. Eph. 4. 30. Grieve not the holy Spirit of God. 1 Pet. 1, 2. Unto sanctification of the Spirit.
;;6. The whole Church of Christ, his mystical body, even all his chosen and peculiar people; who because they have in the midst of them God, his Word, and Sacraments, to sanctifie them, and Christ his holiness imputed to them and the Spirit of Christ within them to purifie them, and do endevour to lead a holy life: in these regards it is called the holy Church, and holy people. 1 Cor. 1. 2. Unto the Church of God, sanctified by Christ, Saints by calling. Deut. 14. 24. Thou art an holy people to the Lord.
;;7. Things and persons which are set apart by Gods Ordinance to holy uses and offices. Thus Jerusalem, and the Temple, and the Priests, and the Altar, and the Sacrifices, and the Shew- bread, and the Fire, and Incense, Vessels, Garments, Tithes, and whatsoever was dedicated as sacred unto God, was called Holy, 1 Sam. 24. 4.

1. By nature, being void of all corruption or change.
2. By administration, and so his holiness is his justice, in distributing rewards to the good, and punishments to the evill.
3. By conception, for the Lord doth conceive the Idea or pattern of the holinesse of all the reasonable creatures. He conceiveth first the holiness that is fit for the creature, and then works it in them. Byfield 1 Pet. 1. 15.

Counted worthy of double honour, 1 Tim. 5. 17. The double honour refers to the Elder brothers portion, Deut. 21. 17. and this going along with the power of ruling the family, Gen. 4. 7. (after the death of the Father) is fitly accommodated to the office of a Bishop in the Church, and so the electing of … and Paul to the Apostleship, Act. 13. 2. is expressed by foreign separate, the word used about the first born, Exod. 13. 2. Thus the double portion of the spirit of Elias resting on Eliseus, was the making him his Successor in the office of a Prophet, as the Father, above the ordinary Sons of the Prophets, to have rule over them. And sothis verse is the seting down the reasonablenesse that the Bishop that discharged his duty or prefecture well, should be looked upon in all respects as one that hath the primogeniture of maintenance (to which vers. 18. refers) as well as dignity, especially if his pains be extraordinary.

Properly taken, was sold as a merchandise with other things, Ezek. 27. 17. and used for food, 1 Sam. 14. 29. Mat. 3. 4. Luk. 24. 42. And for offerings both common, Gen. 43. 11. 1 King. 14. 3. and sacred, Lev. 2. 12. Wherewith wafers were made, Exod. 16. 13.

Prov. 27. 7. Because nothing is generally so precious and pleasant, as gold and hony. Thence it is, that comparisons be taken from these (rather then other things which be of more price and delight then they) to express the very great worth and sweetness of the Word of God, Psal. 119. 103, 127.
The hony-combe, Psal. 19. 10. Heb. the dropping of honycombe, marg.
Hony-combe, Hony]
;;The sweet joys, which the faithful with Christ shall enjoy in heavenly glory, Cant. 5. 1. I eat my Hony-combe with my Hony. Thy lips drop as the Hony-combe, that is, utter sweet words.
Hereby the doctrines and prayers of the Church are commended, as sweet and pleasant to the hearers, like hony to the taste. Aynsw.
The Word of God is compared to the Hony-combe. Psal. 19. 10. and the preaching of it like the droppings of Honey, should be free, pure, sweet, healthful, and comfortable, nay like the hony-combe it self, then which nothing boasteth or symbolizeth more art, pleasure, benefit, fruitfulnesse, or sincerity, whilest like the laborious Bee, to collect her redolent spoyls; so the unwearied Minister … through all the Gardens of Learning, and sucks something from every flower there, that he may returne with joy, and bring his vessels, and his treasures full of comfort. Annot.
I have eaten my Hony combe with … Hony]
Cant. 5. 1. It is a full expression of that highest delight wherewith Christ receiveth the obedience and services of his people feeding on them with a kinde of … or greedinesse, as they should doe on his Ordinances; and (as hungry or greedy men do) swallowing the very combe, that is, the more … parts, and pardoning them for the Honeys sake, for that which is more perfect. The Honycombe is bitter and cannot be eaten but men use to suck out the hony, and if it be empty to throw it away. Christ loveth not them who are all outside, though composed by never so much Art; but where there is Hony he … with all imperfections, and will purifie them fully hereafter. Annot.
Let us labour to be such as Christ may delight in, for our graces are Hony and Spices unto him; and where he tastes sweetnesse he will bring more with him. ….
As the Word and doctrine of Christ is likened to Hony and the Hony-dombe, to … and Milk, Psal. 19. 21. & 119. 103. Ps. 55. 1. 1 Pet. 2. 2. because it is …, comfortable and wholesome to nourish the soul, as these things doe the body; so here the … fruits and graces which that Word by the …, bringeth forth in Christians, are likened also to such things, whereof christ is said to cat, that is graciously to accept, and delight in them. Aynsworth.

They make hollow places in the earth for their nest, which as they increase in number, they inlarge. In their holes somewhat like honey is found, but scarce as a drop. Not providing food for themselves in the Summer, they fast or die in the Winter. By them (upon the prayers of a godly Bishop) a Christian City besieged by Sapores King of Persia, was delivered: for the Elephants and beasts being stung therewith, waxed …, and so the whole Army fled. What ever little bird or beast they kill (as one of them … a Sparrow to death) they bring home a part thereof for their fellows and young ones. They keep watch about Bee-hives, and getting upon their backs make use of them as a chariot, whereon they ride and having depriving them of all their food, cruelly kill them. In the Indies they are very troublesome, being both of a devouring and defiling nature. To them the Gray or Brock is a deadly enemy, entring into their holes, and destroying both their brood and nests.
