VERS. LII.
〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉.
Ye have taken away the key of knowledg.
SHould we render it, ye have taken the key of knowledg (that is, to your selves); or, ye have taken it away: there is not much difference. They took the key of knowledg to themselves, when they arrogated to themselves only all profoundness of wisdom and learning, hereby indeed taking it away from the people, because they taught them no∣thing but trifling and idle stuff.
The word for key being in their language 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 brings to mind the word 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 which was so very much in use amongst them for one that was teaching. Instances of this were endless, there are enough of it in that long preface prefixt to that Midras Thren, that hath for its title 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉the openings of the wise; where (as indeed almost every where

I know indeed that 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 oftentimes signifies, he began: to which is oppos'd 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 or 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉he ended. But here it is used when any Rabbin produceth any Text of Scripture, and either glosseth or discourseth upon it by way of Exposition, allusion or allegory. While he open'd to us the Scripturesp 1.1. There is no one that observes the places, but will easily suppose there is more signified by the expression than meer opening his mouth.
