The old Latin hath it▪ they translate Ruling with 1God, thus: He doth descend, or come down as a witness with God, so they render it. And indeed the difference, though it may seem to be very much in our English tongue, yet in the Hebrew the letters that are for ruling with God, 2and for coming down to be a witness for God, there is very little difference, it is in the pointing, not in the Hebrew letters.
