Annotations upon the five bookes of Moses, the booke of the Psalmes, and the Song of Songs, or, Canticles VVherein the Hebrevv vvords and sentences, are compared with, and explained by the ancient Greeke and Chaldee versions, and other records and monuments of the Hebrewes: but chiefly by conference with the holy Scriptures, Moses his words, lawes and ordinances, the sacrifices, and other legall ceremonies heretofore commanded by God to the Church of Israel, are explained. With an advertisement touching some objections made against the sinceritie of the Hebrew text, and allegation of the Rabbines in these annotations. As also tables directing unto such principall things as are observed in the annotations upon each severall booke. By Henry Ainsworth.

CHAP. XXXIV.

1, God willeth Moses to hew two tables of stone, on which he would write againe the words of the covenant. 4, Moses having done so, went up into the mount; 5, The Lord descendeth in a cloud, and proclaimeth his Name. 8, Moses worshippeth, and int••••ateth God to goe with them. 10, God maketh a covenant with them, warning them, 12, of the Idolatry of the Canaa∣nites. 16, and mariages with them. 18, He renew∣eth the commandement of the feast of unleavened bread, and of sanctifying their first-borne. 21, Of the Sab∣bath. 22, Of other feasts, and rites about sacrificing. 28, Moses after forty dayes in the mount, commeth downe with the Tables. 29, His face shineth, and he covereth it with a veile.

ANd Iehovah said unto Moses, Hew [unspec 1] thee two Tables of stone, like the first: and I will write upon the Tables, the words which were on the first Tables which thou brakest. And bee thou ready in the morning: and come up in the morning, [unspec 2] unto mount Sinai, and present thy selfe un∣to me there, upon the top of the mount. And let no man come up with thee; neither let any man bee seene, throughout all the [unspec 3] mount: neither let the flockes nor herds feed before that mount. And he hewed two tables of stone like the first; and Moses rose [unspec 4] up early in the morning, and went up unto mount Sinai, as Iehovah had commanded him: and tooke in his hand the two tables of stone. And Iehovah descended in the cloud; and he stood with him there: and [unspec 5] he proclaimed the name of Iehovah. And Iehovah passed by, before him, and he pro∣claimed: [unspec 6] Iehovah, Iehovah; God, pitti∣full and gracious, long suffering, and much in mercy and truth. Keeping mercy, for [unspec 7] thousands; forgiving iniquity, and trespass, and sinne: and that will not clearing cleare, (the guilty,) visiting the iniquity of the fa∣thers, upon the sonnes, and upon the sonnes sonnes, unto the third, and unto the fourth generation. And Moses made-hast, and ben∣ded [unspec 8] downe-the head toward the earth and bowed himselfe. And he said; If ô now I have found grace in thine eyes, ô Lord; let [unspec 9] the Lord now goe amongst us: for it is a stiffe necked people; and pardon thou our iniquity and our sinne, and take us for thine inheritance. And he said: Behold, I, strike [unspec 10] a covenant: before all thy people, I will doe marvels, which have not beene created in all the earth, or in any of the Nations: and all the people amongst which thou art, shall see the work of Iehovah, for it is a fearfull thing; which I doe with thee. Observe thou that [unspec 11] which I command thee this day: Behold I drive out from before thee, the Amorite, and the Canaanite, and the Chethite, and the Pherizzite, and the Evite, and the Iebu∣site. Take heed to thy selfe; lest thou strike [unspec 12] a covenant with the inhabitant of the land, into which thou entrest: lest hee bee for a snare in the midst of thee. But ye shall de∣stroy [unspec 13] their altars, and breake their pillars, and cut-downe their groves. For thou shalt [unspec 14] not bow-downe thy selfe to another God: for Iehovah, whose Name is Iealous; hee, is a Iealous God. Lest thou strike a covenant [unspec 15] with the inhabitant of the Land; and they goe a whoring after their gods, and sacrifice unto their gods; and he call thee, a〈…〉〈…〉 eat of his sacrifice. And thou take 〈◊〉〈◊〉. Daughters, unto thy Sons: and his daughter goe a whoring after then gods; and 〈◊〉〈◊〉 thy sonnes goe-a-whoring after then g〈…〉〈…〉. Thou shalt not make unto thee, any m〈…〉〈…〉 gods. The feast of unleavened cakes sh〈…〉〈…〉 thou keepe: seven dayes 〈…〉〈…〉on shalt eaten levened cakes, as I commanded thee; at th•• appointed time, of the moneth of Abib: fo•• in the moneth of Abib, thou camest out from Egypt.

All that openeth the wombe, is mine: [unspec 19] and all thy cattell that is male; that which openeth (the wombe;) of oxe and of sheepe. And that which openeth (the wombe) of an [unspec 20] asse thou shalt redeeme with a lambe; and if thou wilt not redeeme it, then thou shalt breake the necke of it: Every firstborne of thy Sonnes thou shalt redeeme; and they shall not appeare before me, empty. Sixe [unspec 21] dayes, thou shalt labour, and in the seventh day, thou shalt cease: in eating-time▪ and in harvest, thou shalt cease. And thou shalt [unspec 22] observe to thee, the feast of weekes: of the first fruits of Wheat harvest: and the feast of ingathering, at the revolution of the yeer. Three times in the yeere, every male of [unspec 23] thee shall appeare, before the face of the Lord, Iehovah, the God of Israel. For I [unspec 24] will cast out the nations, from before thee, and will inlarge thy border: and no man shall desire thy land: when thou goest up, to appeare before the face of Iehovah thy God three times in the yeere. Thou shalt not [unspec 25] slay the blood of my sacrifice, with levened bread: neither shall the sacrifice of the feast of the Passeover, remaine unto the morn∣ing. The first of the first fruits of thy Land [unspec 26] thou shalt bring into the house of Iehovah

thy God: Thou shalt not seeth a kid in his mothers milke.

And Iehovah said unto Moses, Write for [unspec 27] thee these words: for after the Tenor of these words, I have stricken a covenant with thee, and with Israel. And hee was there [unspec 28] with Iehovah, Forty dayes and forty nights, hee did eate no bread, nor drinke water: and he wrote upon the Tables the words of the covenant; the tenne words. And it [unspec 29] was when Moses came downe from mount Sinai, and the two Tables of Testimony in Moses hand, when he came downe from the mount: that Moses knew not, that the skinne of his face shone, when he spake with him. And Aaron, and all the Sonnes of Is∣rael, [unspec 30] saw Moses: and behold, the skinne of his face shone: and they feared to come nigh unto him. And Moses called unto them, [unspec 31] and Aaron, and all the Rulers of the Con∣gregation, returned unto him: and Moses spake unto them. And afterward, all the [unspec 32] Sonnes of Israel came nigh: and hee com∣manded them, all that Iehovah had spoken, with him, on mount Sinai. And Moses [unspec 33] made an-end of speaking with them: and he put a veile upon his face. And when Moses [unspec 34] went in before Iehovah to speake with him, he tooke off the veile, untill hee came out, and spake unto the Sonnes of Israel, that which he was commanded. And the sons [unspec 35] of Israel saw the face of Moses, that the skin of Moses face shone: and Moses did put the veile againe upon his face, untill he went in to speake with him.

Annotations.

HEw thee] or, Hew unto thy selfe, whereas the [unspec 1] former tables were the worke of God himselfe, Exod. 32. 16. See the notes on Exod. 31. 18. Here followeth the renewing of the covenant, between God and his people: rehearsed againe in Deut. 10. 1. &c. and I] The Greeke here addeth, and come thou up unto me into the mount, and I, &c. So Moses himselfe repeateth it, in Deut. 10. 1.

Vers. 2. present thy selfe] or, stand for me there, that is, wait till I come downe, as vers. 5. and then [unspec 2] (as the Chaldee translateth) stand before me there. And this being to be done in the morning, it was a signe of mercy, Psal. 90. 14. and 30. 6. and 5. 4.

Vers. 3. before] the Greeke translateth, neere the mount, see Exod. 19. 12. 13. with the annotations. [unspec 3]

Vers. 5. descended] by a manifestation of his glo∣rious presence. The Chaldee saith, was revealed, [unspec 5] See Exod. 19. 18. 〈◊〉〈◊〉 be proclaimed] that is, the Lord did proclaime; as hee promised, Exod. 33. 19. Or it may be understood of Moses, and trans∣lated, he called on the name of Iehovah: for so the Hebrew phrase sometimes signifieth, as Gen. 12. 8.

Verse 6. passed by] that is, as the Chaldee trans∣lateth, [unspec 6] caused his Majesty (Shecinah) to passe by. Whereupon the Hebrewes, comparing this with Exod. 33. 19. 22. say, The Shecinah (or divine-Majesty) called I, passed by. R. Menachem on Exod. 34. So they held this Shecinah, to be one with the Father. See after on vers. 9. he proclaimed] that is, God proclaimed, Exod. 33. 19. But Thargum Ierusalemy referreth it to Moses, saying; And the glory of the Majesty of the Lord passed before him, and Moses prayed and said, &c. Howbeit Moses him-selfe saith, the Lord spake these words, Numb. 14. 17. 18. And so other of the Hebrewes understand it, as before, that Shecinah (the Divine-presence) pro∣claimed these properties. R. Menachem. Iehovah, Iehovah, &c.] Here all Gods goodnesse passed before Moses, and was proclaimed, according to the pro∣mise, Exod. 33. 19. the three first titles signifying God in his Essence or Being, distinguished in three persons, 1 Iohn 5. 7. God] in Hebrew Ael, which signifieth Mighty: see Gen. 14. 18. pittifull] or, compassionate; of tender mercy. These next seven attributes, shew Gods affection toward repentant and beleeving sinners, 1 in pittying their misery; 2 shewing favour and grace unto them, though unworthy; 3 long suffring their in∣firmities; 4 of much mercy and bounty, in doing them good; 5 of much truth, in fulfilling his pro∣mises unto them; 6 and extending the like mercy to their children, even to the thousand generati∣on; 7 and forgiving their sinnes of all sorts: wher∣in the blessednesse of man consisteth, Psalm. 32. 1. 2. Rom. 4. 6. 7. 8. long suffring] or, long 〈◊〉〈◊〉 he be angry: Hebrew, long of anger (or, of nostrith) mercy] or, bounteousnesse, kindnesse, which Da∣vid six and twenty times in one Psalme, confesseth to endure for ever, Psal. 136. Compare also Neh. 9. 17. Ion. 4. 2. Psal. 103. 7. 8. 9. &c.

Vers. 7. for thousands] that is, (as Tharg•••• Ieru∣salemy [unspec 7] explaineth it) for a thousand generations: See Exod. 20. 6. The Greek translateth, and doing many unto thousands. not clearing cleare] that is, 〈◊〉〈◊〉 will in no wise cleare, (or acquit, hold innocent;) to wit, the guilty person, as the Greeke version addeth; or (as the Chaldee saith) them that convert not. Also the Ierusalemy Thargum expoundeth it, hee will not clear sinners in the day of the great Iudgement. The like defect is in Num. 14. 18. Nahum 1. 3. and in other like speeches, as Lev. 19. 18. which some∣time the Scripture it selfe supplyeth, as is noted on Gen. 4. 20. and 24. 33. And these two last attributes are in respect of Gods dealing with the wicked; unto whom he imputeth no righteousnesse, for their good; but inflicteth punishment upon them and theirs, unto perdition. Yet this his justice up∣on the wicked, is a part of his goodnesse towards his people, as it is said, The just shall rejoyce, when he seeth the vengeance: he shall wash his feet, in the blood of the wicked, Psalm. 58. 11. visiting] that is, pu∣nishing; see Exod. 20. 5. sonnes] to wit, of the wicked, or rebellious, as the Chaldee here addeth. And Thargum Ierusalemy saith, remembring the

sinnes of wicked fathers, upon the rebellious sonnes, un∣to the third generation, and unto the fourth generation.

Vers. 8. bowed himselfe] or, worshipped, fell pro∣strate: Thargum Ierusalemy expoundeth it, he con∣fessed [unspec 8] and lauded God. See the notes on Exod. 4. 31.

Vers. 9. now goe] or, I pray thee goe, to wit, with the signes of his presence, in the cloudy fiery pillar. [unspec 9] The Chaldee saith, Let the Majesty of the Lord goe. By the Majesty (or Divine-presence) of the Lord, which the Hebrewes call She••inah, wee may well understand Christ: for the Hebrews usually distin∣guish this from God the Father; and say, there is no comming before the blessed and most high King, without Shecinah. R. Menachem on Levit. 10. Our Saviour more plainly saith, No man commeth unto the Father, but by me, Ioh. 14. 6. Of him the anci∣ent Iewes seeme to speake, under this name She∣cinah; though at this day they despise their salva∣tion. See before, on Exod. 33. 14. 15. and 34. 6. and 14. 19. for it is] or, though it be a stiffe nec∣ked people, yet pardon thou, &c. For in the time of fa∣vourable-acceptation, it was well with them; by Sheci∣nah (the Divine-majesty) that tooks pitty upon them: saith R. Menachem. take us for inheritance] or, inherit (possesse) thou us: which the Greeke transla∣teth, we shall be thine. This is the blessednesse of a people, that God chuseth them to bee his inheri∣tance; as Psalm. 33. 12. Zach. 2. 12. and God doth inherit or possesse, those whom hee subdueth unto his obedience, and ruleth over them, Psal. 82. 2. Levit. 25. 46.

Vers. 10. he said] the Greeke explaineth it, the [unspec 10] Lord said unto Moses. strike] that is, make, to wit, with thee, as the Greeke explaineth it. mar∣vels] in Greeke, glorious things: and so the Euange∣list useth the word, Luke 13. 17. the people rejoyced for all the glorious things that were done by Iesus: where the Syriak hath, marvelous things. So in Iob 5. 9. Exod. 33. 16. This promise seemeth to con∣cerne the marvelous workes, which God after did before all Israel, in the dayes of Iosua: as when the Sunne and moone stood still in the midst of hea∣ven, &c. Ios. 10. 12. 13. of which it is there said, Is not this written in the booke of Iasher? which the Chaldee there expoundeth, the booke of the Law: as being a thing whereof Moses here wrote. created] the Greeke saith, done: and creating is the making or doing of a new marvelous and glorious thing: as Gen. 1. 1. Numb. 16. 30. a fearfull thing] or, he is fearfull, meaning God: but the Gr. expounds it, they are marvelous things. with thee] that is, as the Greeke translateth, to thee; mea∣ning all Israel; as the words following manifest; or, with thee, meaning Moses; that is, by thy hand; as Paul saith, not I, but the grace of God with me, 1 Cor. 15. 10.

Vers. 11. Observe thou] or, keepe for thy selfe: for [unspec 11] thine owne good. Amorite] that is, Amorites, &c. as the Chaldee translateth. See Gen. 10. 16. Exod. 23. 23. 28.

Verse 12. snare] or cause of thy ruine. See Exod. 23. 33. [unspec 12]

Vers. 13. pillars] or, standing images, statues: see [unspec 13] Exod. 23. 24. groves] which they used to con∣secrate to their gods, offring sacrifice under greene trees, Deut. 12. 2. 2 King. 16. 4. So among other heathens, trees and groves were the Temples of their gods, saith Pliny hist. booke 12. chap. 1. And in the Romane Lawes of the 12 Tables, in the 2 law of Religion, it was commanded to have groves in the fields. For this cause, Israel is here bidden to cut them downe, and in Deut. 12. 3. to burne them: and were also forbidden to plant any grove, or any tree neere unto the altar of the Lord, Deut. 6. 21.

Vers. 14. other god] to the idols of the peoples, as the [unspec 14] Chaldee expoundeth it.

Vers. 15. goe a-whoring] that is, commit idola••••y, [unspec 15] which is spirituall whoredome, Ier. 3. 9. and so the Chaldee explaineth it here, to erre after their errors: that is, their idols. he] that is, the inhabitant a∣foresaid; put for all and every of the inhabitants: therefore the Greeke translateth, they call; and so after. Compare Num 25. 1. 2. Prov. 9. 13. 15.

Vers. 17. molten gods] or, gods of metall: Hebrew [unspec 17] of melting. So Levit. 19. 4. Exod. 20. 23.

Vers. 18. as I] or, which I commanded: but the [unspec 18] Hebrew asher, is put for caasher: as in Exodus 23. 15. and so the Greeke translateth it here.

Abib] in Greeke, the moneth of new fruits. See Exod. 13. 4.

Vers. 19. is mine] or, shall be mine: that is, san∣ctified [unspec 19] unto me: see Exodus 13. 2. 12. that which openeth] or, the first borne, as the Greeke and Chaldee here translateth it. See Exod. 13. 12. 13. and 22. 29. 30.

Vers. 20. with a lambe] a living lambe, of the [unspec 20] sheepe or goats, and no other beast; as is noted on Exod. 13. 13. and the lambe was to be given to the Priest, Num. 18. 8. 15. The Hebrewes say, It might be redeemed with a lambe, whether male or female, unblemished or blemished, small or great, If a man have no lambe to redeeme it with, hee may redeeme it with the value of it, and give the price to the Priest. The Law commandeth not a Lambe, to make it heavier up∣on him, but lighter. For if hee have the firstling of an Asse, which is worth ten shekels, he may redeeme it with a lambe worth a quarter of a shekell. But the price in money, is from three zuzims and upward: [that is, three quarters of a shekell; for one zoz is the fourth part of a shekell.] If the price be lesse then three zu∣zims, they redeeme it not therewith: and a good eye (that is, a liberall person) giveth not lesse then a she∣kell. Maimony in treat, of Firstfruits, Chap. 12. Sect. 10. &c. breake the necke] the Chaldee saith, kill it. They might have no use or benefit of the Asse till it was redeemed. If hee sold it before it was re∣deemed, the price was unlawfull. If it dyed before it was redeemed, or if the necke was broken, it was buried. For it was unlawfull to make benefit of it, even after the necke was broken, because it was not redeemed. Therefore if hee redeemed it not, but gave the Asse it selfe to the Priest; it was unlawfull for the Priest to put it to any service, vntill it was redeemed with a lambe. Maimony ibidem, Chap. 12. Sect. 4. they shall not appeare] or, my face shall not be seene: to wit, by any man: the Greeke saith, thou shalt not appeare. empty] without an oblation: see Exod. 23. 15.

Vers. 21. labour] or, serve: see the notes on Exo∣dus [unspec 21]

20. 9. For this in Exod. 23. 12. is written, sixe dayes thou shalt doe thy workes.

Vers. 22. observe to thee] Hebr. doe to thee: mea∣ning [unspec 22] observe, or make holy, celebrate. According to this phrase, is, to doe the Sabbath day, Exod. 31. 16. Deut. 5. 15. to dee the Passeover, Deut. 16. 1. Matt. 26. 18. to doe the feast of Boothes, Deut 16. 13. and the like. The Greeke translateth, Thou shalt doe (that is, observe) to me. of weeks] or, of sevens: a feast seven weeks after the Passeover, called Pen∣tecost, Lev. 23. 15. 16. Act. 2. 1. it was also called harvest, Exod. 23. 16. revolution] or, circum∣volution, circuit; that is, the returne; as the revolu∣tion of the yeere, 2 Chron. 24. 23. is explained to be the returne of it, 1 King. 20. 26. when the old yeere endeth, and the new beginneth. This was in the seventh moneth, which we call September: see the notes on Exod. 23. 16.

Vers. 23. every male of thee] or, all thy male-kind: see Exod. 23. 17. Deut. 16. 16. [unspec 23]

Vers. 24. no man] to wit, of thy neighbours or [unspec 24] enemies round about thee, shall have the heart, to set upon thy coasts, when all the men are gathered before me.

Vers. 25. not slay] for sacrifice, as in Exodus 23. 18. see the notes there. sacrifice] in Greeke, sa∣crifices: [unspec 25] meaning of the Passeover, as after is ex∣plained. Hence the Hebrewes gather their rite of purging Leven out of their houses, before the Passeover: they expound it thus: Thou shalt not slay the Passeover, whiles Leven yet remaineth. Now the killing of the Passover, is the fourteenth (of Abib) after midday. Maimony treat, of Levened and Un∣levenedbread, Chap. 2. Sect. 1. See more in the notes on Exod 12. vers. 15. and vers. 10.

Vers. 26. first] or, beginning of the fruits: see Ex. [unspec 26] 23. 19. a kid] in Greeke, a lambe: in Chal∣dee, thou shalt not eate flesh with milke: and the Ie∣rusalemy Thargum addeth, not to boyle nor to eat flesh and milke mixed together. See Exod. 23. 19.

Vers. 27. tenour] Hebrew, the mouth of these words: which the Chaldee expounds, the speech of these [unspec 27] words. have stricken] or, doe strike, that is, make: for these precepts were both given before, and now repeated.

Vers. 28. he] that is, God wrote, vers. 1. [unspec 28] ten words] that is, ten commandements, which there∣fore we call of the Greeke name, the Decalogue. Ten, is often used for many; as ten times, meane many times, Gen. 31. 7. Iob 19. 3. ten men, Zach. 8. 23. and ten women, Lev. 26. 26. and ten thousands, Heb. 12. 22. that is, many: and as other numbers are made of ten, by reduplication; so all other wri∣tings of the Law and Prophets, depend upon these ten words: so by this number ten, God gave a per∣fect and compleat Law. And Words, are used for whole sentences, or commandements: as Paul saith also, one word, Cal. 5. 14. when he rehearseth a com∣mandement; and that is called the Word of God, in Marke 7. 13. which another calleth the Comman∣dement of God, Matt. 15. 6. These ten words, were ac∣cording to the first writing, and to the words which were spoken before, in the day of the Assembly, Deut. 10. 4.

Vers. 29. shone] which the Greeke translateth, [unspec] was glorious, and so the Apostle alleadgeth it, in 2 Cor. 3. where, by glory, is meant, shining bright∣nesse, as in 1 Cor. 15. 41. there is one glory of the Sun, and another glory (that is, brightnesse) of the Moone, &c. and the Israelites could not behold the face of Moses, for the glory (that is, the brightnesse) of his countenance, 2 Cor. 3. 7. and the earth was lightned with the glory of the Angell, Rev. 18. 1. The Chal∣dee also translateth, Moses knew not that the bright∣nesse of the glory of his face was multiplied. The La∣tine version saith, Moses face was horned; mistaking the word: for of the Hebrew Karan, which is to shine, or cast forth glorious beames, the name Ke∣ren or Horne is derived: in which sense the Latine translated it here, and gave occasion unto the ig∣norant, to paint Moses face with two hornes like an Oxe, whereby this glorious mystery hath been obscured, and turned to a fable. For the glory of Moses face, signified the glory of the Law which he preached, 2 Cor. 3. 7. &c.

Vers. 30. feared] for Moses his ministration was [unspec] death and condemnation, 1 Cor. 3. 7. 9. (because the Law giveth knowledge of sin, and causeth wrath, Rom. 3. 20. and 4. 15.) and therefore the more bright and glorious that it is, the more terrour it striketh in all mens hearts, there being a weaknesse and impossibility in all men, to do the same, Rom. 8. 3. For Aaron himselfe, and all the Rulers were afraid of Moses, as well as the other people: even as at the first giving of the Law, Moses himselfe, with all the people, were affrighted, and trembled, Exodus 19.

Vers. 33. and he put] or, and hee had put a veil: [unspec 33] but the Greeke translateth, And when he had ceased speaking unto them, he put a veil, &c. that is, after this first communing with them, when hee knew the cause of their feare, he put on a veil (or cover∣ing:) which signified the obscurity of the Law; whose first, true, and proper meaning and end, could not easily be discerned: also the darknesse that is in all mens hearts naturally, till God take away the veil and hardnesse that is upon them. For so the Apostle speaketh of a double veile, one out∣ward in the Law, another inward in the heart, 2 Cor. 3. 13. 14. &c. And as without a veil the peo∣ple could not heare Moses; so except the Law be veiled, and hath as it were a new face upon it, the naturall man cannot endure the glory of it: so ter∣rible it is to the conscience of sinners. R. Mena∣chem here observeth how the former Ancients of Israel, at the reading of the Booke of the Law, co∣vered their faces, and said; hee that heareth from the mouth of the reader, is as hee that heareth from the mouth of Moses.

Vers. 34. tooke off the veil] whereof there was no [unspec] use in the sight of God; who doth not onely know himselfe the use and end of his Law; but sheweth the same also to others; which was likewise here figured; for when men shall be turned to the Lord, the veile shall be taken away, 2 Cor. 3. 16.

Vers. 35. put the veil againe on] hereby signify∣ing [unspec] the continuall glory of his ministery, and infir∣mity of the people; till both of them be done a way.

Which is accomplished by the Gospell, the mini∣stration of the Spirit, and of righteousnesse, which ex∣ceeds in glory, so that Moses ministery hath no glo∣ry in this respect: for Christ taketh away the veil, so that we may both stedfastly looke to the end of the Law, which is abolished; and all of us with un∣veiled face beholding as in a glasse the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord, 1 Cor. 5. 8. 18.
