Verse 37. They did all eat and were filled]
They did eat to* 1.1 saturity, as men use to doe at feasts, where the tables seem to sweat with variety. The Greek word here is, in its proper signification, used of fatting cattle, that have grasse up to the eyes, such as is that in some parts of Ireland, where they are forced to drive out their cattle sometimes from the pastures into the commons, lest they should surfet and spoil themselves.
Seven baskets full]
These baskets were bigger and of larger capacity then those coffins. Matth. 14. 20. we read of Paul let* 1.2 down by the wall in a basket. Acts 9. 20. It was such a vessel then, that a man might sit in it: as the former may seem to have been no larger then a pye or pasty, the outside whereof, from the Greeks, we call a coffin.
