radic_n aver_v in_o libr._n radic_n it_o be_v not_o know_v to_o we_o what_o the_o urim_fw-la and_o thummim_n be_v and_o several_a other_o writer_n as_o you_o shall_v hear_v afterward_o speak_v the_o

because_o they_o be_v speak_v to_o moses_n as_o appear_v from_o the_o first_o verse_n of_o the_o chapter_n so_o that_o it_o be_v evident_a they_o mention_v not_o what_o god_n but_o what_o moses_n be_v to_o do_v it_o be_v he_o that_o be_v here_o command_v to_o put_v the_o urim_n and_o thummim_n into_o aaron_n breastplate_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v unreasonable_a and_o absurd_a to_o understand_v these_o word_n of_o god_n infuse_v light_n or_o wisdom_n into_o aaron_n heart_n this_o be_v sure_o be_v not_o the_o primary_n and_o literal_a sense_n though_o as_o i_o shall_v show_v in_o the_o

we_o that_o they_o know_v very_o well_o what_o it_o be_v viz._n that_o it_o be_v a_o artificial_a or_o chemical_a preparation_n of_o light_n answerable_a to_o the_o subterranean_a lamp_n or_o it_o

to_o acquaint_v you_o with_o the_o sentiment_n of_o the_o more_o sober_a i._o some_o of_o these_o hold_n that_o the_o name_n of_o god_n be_v write_v and_o put_v into_o the_o breastplate_n and_o that_o this_o be_v the_o urim_n and_o thummim_n locum_fw-la thummim_n in_o locum_fw-la r._n selomoh_n jarchi_n say_v express_o that_o it_o be_v the_o name_n jehovah_n insert_v into_o the_o folding_n of_o

write_v which_o contain_v the_o name_n of_o god_n with_o four_o letter_n be_v call_v the_o urim_n and_o thummim_n and_o avenarius_n be_v partly_o of_o this_o opinion_n for_o though_o he_o hold_v that_o the_o urim_n and_o thummim_n be_v the_o twelve_o precious_a stone_n shine_v in_o the_o breastplate_n yet_o he_o join_v to_o they_o the_o shem_n hamphorash_n as_o the_o jewish_a doctor_n style_v the_o name_n jehovah_n but_o for_o my_o part_n i_o can_v conceive_v how_o these_o person_n come_v to_o take_v up_o this_o opinion_n there_o be_v no_o foundation_n at_o all_o for_o this_o particular_a word_n or_o name_n they_o may_v as_o well_o have_v assign_v any_o other_o name_n of_o god_n yea_o any_o other_o word_n whatsoever_o that_o be_v repute_v sacred_a and_o venerable_a wherefore_o other_o take_v another_o course_n and_o understand_v by_o the_o urim_n and_o thummim_n something_o of_o a_o far_o different_a nature_n viz._n some_o curious_a piece_n of_o work_n either_o frame_v by_o the_o hand_n of_o some_o skilful_a artist_n or_o immediate_o wrought_v by_o god_n himself_o and_o give_v by_o he_o to_o moses_n when_o he_o be_v on_o the_o mount_n according_o ii_o some_o be_v of_o opinion_n that_o the_o urim_n and_o thummim_n be_v the_o precious_a stone_n in_o the_o high_a priest_n breastplate_n those_o twelve_o stone_n on_o which_o the_o name_n of_o the_o tribe_n be_v engrave_v this_o be_v the_o receive_a doctrine_n of_o the_o talmudist_n and_o the_o generality_n of_o the_o jewish_a doctor_n to_o who_o our_o learned_a lightfoot_n and_o several_a other_o christian_a writer_n adhere_v and_o they_o labour_v to_o prove_v this_o assertion_n from_o exod._n 39_o 8_o etc._n etc._n where_o the_o make_n of_o the_o breastplate_n with_o all_o its_o ornament_n be_v set_v down_o and_o yet_o the_o urim_fw-la and_o thummim_n be_v not_o express_o mention_v there_o whence_o they_o conclude_v that_o these_o stone_n be_v the_o urim_n and_o thummim_n and_o that_o moses_n mention_v those_o do_v as_o good_a as_o mention_v these_o these_o therefore_o say_v they_o be_v nothing_o else_o but_o those_o stone_n but_o this_o be_v confute_v from_o this_o exod._n 28._o where_n aaron_n garment_n and_o habiliment_n be_v most_o distinct_o set_v down_o here_o you_o read_v of_o the_o breastplate_n with_o twelve_o precious_a stone_n v._o 15_o etc._n etc._n and_o then_o in_o v._o 30._o the_o urim_fw-la and_o thummim_n be_v mention_v by_o themselves_o thou_o shall_v put_v etc._n etc._n therefore_o these_o be_v thing_n real_o different_a from_o the_o stone_n which_o be_v distinct_o name_v before_o and_o particular_o describe_v from_o v._o 15._o to_o 22._o this_o i_o think_v be_v very_o plain_a and_o convince_a and_o as_o for_o the_o place_n before_o produce_v the_o answer_n be_v that_o the_o mention_v of_o the_o urim_n and_o thummim_n be_v omit_v there_o where_o the_o design_n be_v particular_o to_o insist_v upon_o those_o habiliment_n which_o be_v rich_a and_o costly_a and_o require_v great_a art_n and_o preparation_n but_o the_o urim_n and_o thummim_n be_v not_o of_o that_o nature_n but_o a_o plain_a easy_a thing_n as_o i_o shall_v show_v afterward_o the_o talmudical_a doctor_n go_v on_o and_o tell_v we_o that_o by_o the_o stone_n shine_v more_o than_o ordinary_o answer_n be_v give_v to_o what_o be_v ask_v by_o the_o holy_a priest_n which_o also_o be_v assert_v by_o some_o late_a writer_n who_o confident_o tell_v we_o that_o the_o stone_n in_o the_o breastplate_n be_v call_v urim_n because_o they_o send_v forth_o a_o light_n in_o great_a abundance_n and_o especial_o that_o a_o pair_n of_o these_o gem_n shine_v forth_o with_o extraordinary_a brightness_n when_o the_o answer_n of_o god_n be_v acceptable_a and_o welcome_a but_o when_o it_o be_v not_o they_o look_v very_o dim_a and_o dull_a but_o some_o say_v and_o with_o as_o much_o reason_n as_o the_o former_a that_o the_o answer_n be_v give_v not_o by_o the_o unusual_a lustre_n of_o the_o stone_n but_o by_o the_o letter_n of_o the_o name_n engrave_v in_o they_o which_o raise_v themselves_o high_a and_o stand_v more_o out_o and_o so_o make_v up_o certain_a word_n out_o of_o the_o alphabet_n contain_v in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o twelve_o tribe_n when_o any_o one_o come_v to_o inquire_v at_o this_o oracle_n the_o high_a priest_n look_v on_o the_o letter_n which_o be_v engrave_v on_o the_o stone_n of_o his_o breastplate_n and_o there_o read_v what_o god_n pleasure_n be_v but_o this_o be_v a_o mere_a conjecture_n beside_o we_o be_v certain_a that_o long_a answer_n and_o such_o there_o be_v sometime_o can_v not_o be_v give_v in_o this_o way_n 9_o way_n antiq._n jud._n l._n 3._o c._n 9_o josephus_n affirm_v that_o the_o stone_n in_o the_o high_a priest_n breastplate_n fore_o signify_v what_o be_v to_o be_v by_o the_o change_n of_o their_o colour_n other_o have_v other_o fancy_n as_o suidas_n quote_v a_o author_n who_o aver_v that_o the_o stone_n turn_v red_a if_o there_o be_v any_o answer_n of_o war_n and_o that_o they_o turn_v black_a if_o death_n be_v denounce_v and_o other_o divination_n and_o answer_n be_v signify_v by_o other_o colour_n all_o which_o be_v mere_a
