4. This great work and mystery of our Redemption was perfectly consummated in Christ his glorious Resurrection, ¹wherein he spoiled principalities and powers, and made a show of them openly, [Greek or Hebrew]; some render it, in it, and would refer it to his Cross: but [[Greek or Hebrew]] is to be understood here in the masculine gender, not in the neuter; and so to be translated in himself: Christ rising from the dead like a conqueror, lead death, and the grave, and Hell, and the Devil in chains after him, as conquerors in war were wont to lead their vanquished enemies whom they had taken prisoners, in chains of Captivity after them, exposing them to the public scorn of all spectators.
