Sect. 16.
This is Luke 2. and the last, Jesus increased in Wis∣dome and Age (so he, but better, Stature,* 1.1 as we) and grace with God and men, that is, in Dei conspectu: the Strength of this comparison lye's in this Word (with) which is not the same with what was so rendred in St. John; that was 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, this 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉; but I stand not upon this; the very Sense, be it what it will, will overthrow his exposition, for I must not run away to other extra∣vagancies; for he could not grow in Wisdome, Stature or grace in conspectu Dei, which is his gloss, unlesse he were so re and indeed; and therefore whatsoever is the sense of these Words, which perhaps an other occasion may give me opportunity to expound, his exposition cannot be true; and so I passe from his illustrations of this phrase by Scripture, which I can observe in any of them, and returne to my Text.
