VERSE 27.

HAving alleaged the Text, he makes a Commentary of it.

Shaken: like ships tossed on the Sea. As of things that are made, as the Tabernacle and Temple were.

Which cannot be shaken: the precious Iewels of the Gospell may remaine for ever. The ceremoniall Law, with all the Rites belong∣ing to it, is shaken: the Gospell continues to the worlds end.

They that despised the Law were punished, though it were to continue for a time: how much more shall they that despise the Go∣spell, which abideth for ever?

Here the Apostle speaketh of a spirituall shaking. There is one materiall shaking yet behinde: when as the pillars of Heaven shall bee shaken, the world shall passe away with a noise, the earth, with the workes thereof, shall bee burnt up; that is a terrible shaking. We feare now to see a few trees shake; but then Heaven and Earth shall shake. Let us shake now before CHRIST speaking to us in the ministery of the Gospel, that we may stand without shaking before him at the latter day.

Here we see that the Scriptures are not carelesly and negligent∣ly to be read of us. Grandia mysteria, lye often hid in one word, but of one word in the Old Testament Christ deriveth the resurrection. God of the living, not of the dead. Out of the Cloud, S. Paul fetch∣eth Baptisme: out of the Rock, Christ. The Apostle here out of one word in the prophesie of Hagge, concludeth the abrogation of the Law, and the corroboration of the Gospell. Therefore let us be cir∣cumspect in reading of the Scriptures: there is nothing idle in it, no not 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, as S. Basil speaketh: one word may be a foundation to set a goodly building on. Therefore marke with diligence every word of the sacred Scriptures.
