〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Certain of the sect of the Pharisees c. So as you may very lawfully Translate Qui vero videbantur esse aliquid qualescunque tandem illi fuerint nihil meâ interest But what ever they were who seemed to be something it is no matter to me God accepteth no mans person Or it may be Translated thus with regularity and sense enough distinguishing only after 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Nihil vero ab iis qui videbantur esse aliquid qualescunque illi fuerint meâ interest But nothing from those who seemed to be something what ever they were concerneth me at all That is nothing that they either said or did concerns me for as it follow 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 They that seemed to be something added nothing to me V. 19. 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 For I through the Law am dead to the Law that is by the knowledge of the Law do know that by the Law there is no life and therefore to the Law acknowledge my self dead that I may live unto God C. 3. v. 20. 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 The best Expositor of these words without comparison is the Aethiopick Interpreter Deus tamen unus est duorum But God is one of the two Wherefore then is the Law that was ordained by the Angels by the hand of a Mediatour But a Mediatour is not a Mediatour of one party alone it being necessary that there be two parties between whom there is a Mediatour Now one of these two parties between whom there was a Mediatour to convey the Law is God Neither can there be any other intelligible sense rendred of the words What is the unity or simplicity of the essence of God to the scope of the place or the Apostles purpose But if he say that God is 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 one of the two between whom Moses was a Mediatour the sense is obvious do not the promises of that very God which he gave to Abraham fight with the Law he gave by the hand of Moses God forbid c. How Moses was this Mediatour between God and the children of Israel you may find punctually recorded Levit. c. 26. v. 46. 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 c. Haec sunt lex quam dedit Dominus inter se filios Israel in monte Sina per manum Mosis These are the Law which the Lord gave between him and the children of Israel in mount Sina 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 by the hand of Moses the very phrase used in this place ANNOTATIONS On the Ep. To the Ephesians Ch. 1. v. 7 8. 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Secundum divitias gratiae ipsius quam abundare fecit in nobis According to the riches of his grace which he hath made to abound in us in all wisdom and prudence 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 is to be understood here in the Hebrews Hiphil as 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 is 2 Cor. c. 9. v. 8. 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 is a common phrase with the Greeks who according to the Atticks do put the Relative in the same case with the Antecedent as 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 and 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Coram Deo cui credidit Before God whom he believed Rom. c. 4. v. 17. C. 2. v. 1. 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Of what word 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 you should be governed I conceive there hath been a long mistake by reason of the incommodious distinction of the Chapters Most Interpreters after 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 vos you add of their own the verb vivificavit hath he quickned to supply the sense One affirms that this Accusative 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 you is governed of 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 hath he quickned v. 5. by a chain of figures For he saith there is in this place an Hyperbaton and a Synchysis an Apocope or cutting short of the Period which is a kind of an Anantopodoton the cause of which anomaly or irregularity is the interjection of some long sentence But to what end serves all this pomp of figures What need is there of them in a matter which if duly observed is not at all obscure For look but back to the Nineteenth verse of the foregoing Chapter and you shall find sense coherence and construction extreamly plain and safe without supplement or figure 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 c. And what is the exceeding greatness of his power toward us who believe and toward you who were dead in trespasses and sins The intervenient words 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 c. According to the working of his mighty power c. to the end of that Chapter being all properly included in a Parenthesis To this I cannot imagin any thing to be objected but the length of the Parenthesis it being of it self not only plain but extreamly fit and proper not to say necessary But I beseech you is not the Parenthesis altogether as long if 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 you be governed of 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 hath he quickned v. 5. and the construction much more harsh see also Rom. c. 1. v. 1. c. unto the 7 and c. 2. where v. 13 14 15 are all included in one Parenthesis not much shorter then this Besides many other places in which you may find Parentheses well near as long but much more perplext and intricate Nay no less then a whole Chapter hath been allowed to a Parenthesis by no mean Judgement In the mean while you may observe what obscurity this importune division of the Chapters causeth to the Text. And where it bringeth not obscurity it is yet an unhansom fraction dividing matter that is coherent As you may see in Colos c. 4. v. 1. which in all reason should have been joyned to the foregoing Chapter Coherent cum superioribus neque scindenda fuere Grot. C. 3. v. 10. 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 That now may be known to principalities and powers the manifold wisdom of God in heavenly things throughout the Church Things that pertain to the leading of an eternal life in heaven Joh. c. 3. v. 12. Eph. c. 1. v. 3. They are called 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 heavenly things though done on earth as Chrysostom observes in another place Whereas some interpret the Principalities and Powers to be the Angels methinks is far from the scope of the place For to what intent or advantage were it if perhaps by the preaching of the Gospel many mysteries of Christianity might be made known unto the Angels which to them were hid before This grace v. 8. was given to Paul to make known these things But Paul had no Commission to preach unto the Angels neither did he but to the Princes of the Gentiles Others object that the Gospel was not known to the Princes of the Gentiles or to earthly Powers till the days of Constantine and that therefore the 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 now Principalities and Powers must be meant the Angels But if it were not known surely it might have been I

CAMBRIDGE Printed by J. Hayes Printer to the University for W. Graves Bookseller there 1693. THE PUBLISHER TO The Reader THese Annotations are entirely the product and result of all those Critical Researches into and most solid and happy Conjectures upon the most Difficult passages of the New Testament made by the sincerely Religious and profoundly Judicious as well as Learned Author the late Sr Norton Knatchbull Kt and Bar t and which are only and altogether his own particular discovery's and most Select observations Upon which account that most distinguishing character and singular Elogy given by St Luke to those more noble Berean Converts Act. 17.11 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 is most eminently due to Him who with a like truly noble and generous disposition with the same pious intention and application of mind and with equal success 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 dayly searched or as that word imports and more significantly might be rendred critically conferred or compared the Scriptures together whether those things were so Of which most exact and diligent scrutiny of his into those Holy Oracles this evident proof and lasting Monument will remain to Posterity which therefore by most Competent Judges is thought most worthy to be recommended and communicated as a more usefull elaborate and succesful Essay in its kind then hath hitherto been publish'd In which the most proper sense and right use of each ambiguous particle word and phrase and likewise the genuine construction of all those intricate periods obscure transitions and most perplexing trajections which occurr frequently in those Sacred Writers are vindicated and cleared by a more plain and accurate Version or a more intelligible and commodious Exposition of them Concerning which perhaps it may not be impertinent to give the Learned Reader especially this further Advertisement namely that this is not a bare Translation only of the former Latin Edition thrice Printed at Oxford which is now put into his hands but this English Copy as that word is commonly understood by the Booksellers may rather be esteemed as an Original Piece or a new more compleat and perfect draught begun and finished afterwards by the same hand by which it is besides very much enlarged with divers interpolations and an addition of new Remarques upon several other Texts The whole Work with the Latin Preface now set before it as it was also found together with it being fairly transcribed and prepared for the Press by the Author himself as t is most probably supposed not long before his death Trin.
