VERS. XXXIII.
〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, &c.
No man when he hath lighted a Candle, &c.

THE coherence of this passage with what went before seems a little difficult; but the connexion probably is this. There were some that had reviled him, as if he had cast out Devils by the Prince of the Devils; others that had required a sign from Heaven, Vers. 15, 16. To the former of these he gives an answer, Vers. 17, 18. and indeed to both of them Vers. 19. and so on. This passage we are upon respects both, but the latter more principally. q. d. You require a sign of me; would you have me light a Candle and put it under a bushel? Would you have me work miracles, when I am as∣sured beforehand, you will not believe these miracles? Which however of themselves they may shine like a candle lighted up, yet in respect to you that believe them not, it is no other than a candle under a bushel, or in a secret place.
