Vers. 15. What God hath cleansed] God is said to purifie things, that is, he pro∣nounceth things to be pure; pollute thou not] that is, imploy thou not as thou dost o∣ther things to common uses, but let it serve to holy uses onely.* 1.2

Vers. 16. The vessel was received up again into heaven] to shew that in the end of the world the whole Church militant shall be transported into heaven and become triumphant.

Vers. 24. Neare friends;] Or necessary friends;* 1.3 they seeme to take away the Sunne out of the world (said the heathen oratour) who take away friendship from the life of men, and we doe not more need fire and water then friendship.

Vers. 31. Thy Prayer is heard] Heard effectually, the compound word here used signifies so, See Heb. 5.7.
