VERS. XVI.
〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉.
He that occupieth the room of the unlearned.
〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 Hidjot, a word very usual among the Rabbins. 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 i 1.1 R. Meir explained, or determined, in the private tongue. So also R. Judah. And Hil∣lel the old. And R. Jochanan ben Korchah, &c. The Gloss is, Private men were wont to write other wise, than according to the rule of the wise men. There 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 and 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 a wise man, and 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, are opposed. So 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 Private Priests are opposed to Priests of a worthier order: and which we have observed before 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, Private men, are opposed to 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 Judges.
In 1 Sam. XVIII. 23. 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 a poor and contemptible man, in the Targumist is 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 a poor and private (Hidiot) man.
According to this acception of the word 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 among the Jews, the Apostle seems in this place to distinguish the members of the Church from the Ministers, private per∣sons from public. So in those various companies celebrating the Paschal Service, there was one, that blessed, recited, distributed and was as it were the public Minister for that time and occasion; and all the rest were 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, or private persons. So also in the Synagogues, the Angel of the Church performed the public Ministry, and the rest were as private men. These were indeed persons among them, who were not in truth pri∣vate men, but Judges and Magistrates, and learned men; but as to that present action, 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 (which you must not understand of sitting in lower seats, but of their present capacity) they supply the place, or sustain the condition of private persons, as to the present action, as men contradistinct from the public Minister. 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 indeed occurs for a common, or unlearned man, vers. 23. Which yet hinders not at all, but that in this place it may be taken in the sense mentioned.
〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, &c.
How shall he say, Amen, &c.
It was the part of one to pray, or give thanks, of all to answer Amen. l 1.2 They answer Amen after an Israelite blessing, not after a Cuthite, &c. But m 1.3 They answered not 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 the Orphan Amen, 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 nor the snatched Amen, &c.
The Orphan Amen was, when Amen was said, and he that spake, weighed not, or knew not why, or to what he so answered. To the same sense is 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 n 1.4 An Orphan Psalm, that is, a Psalm, to which neither the name of the Author is inscribed, nor the occasion of the composure 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 among the Talmudists is sometimes a Fool, or Un∣learned.
