The works of the Reverend and learned John Lightfoot D. D., late Master of Katherine Hall in Cambridge such as were, and such as never before were printed : in two volumes : with the authors life and large and useful tables to each volume : also three maps : one of the temple drawn by the author himself, the others of Jervsalem and the Holy Land drawn according to the author's chorography, with a description collected out of his writings.

VERS. XXXIV.

〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, &c.

But if the salt hath lost its Savour.

THIS hath a very good connexion with what went before. Our Saviour had be∣fore taught, how necessary it was for him that would apply himself to Christ and his Religion, to weigh and consider things before-hand, how great and difficult things he must undergo, lest when he hath begun in the undertaking, he faint and go back; he Apostatize and become unsavoury salt.

〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 suits very well with the Hebrew word 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 which both signifies unsavoury and a fool. h 1.1 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 Can that which is unsavoury be eaten without salt? i 1.2 Thy Prophets have seen for thee, 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 vanity and that which is unsavoury. The Greek, 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, vain things, and folly. k 1.3 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 He gave not not that which is unsavoury to God. The Greek, 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉. He did not give folly to God.
