VERS. XXXI.

〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉.

He that is of the earth is earthly.

MArk but the Antithesis, and you will not suspect any Tautology.

1. 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 He that is of the Earth, and 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, He that cometh from Heaven. Where the Antithesis is not so much between Christ and John, as betwixt Christ and all mankind.

2. 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, He is of the Earth, and 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, He is above all. He that is of the Earth, is only of earthly degree, or rank: and he that is from Heaven is above all degree.

3. 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, He speaks of the Earth, and 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, what he hath seen and heard that he testifyeth. He that is of the Earth speaketh earthly things, and what he hath learnt upon the Earth; but he that is from Heaven, speaketh those things which he learnt in Heaven, viz. those things which he hath seen and heard from God. The Baptist seems to allude to the manner of bearing witness, and teaching in matter of fact there was need of an eye-witness: in matter of doctrine, they delivered what they had heard from their Master.
