A supplement to the several discourses upon various divine subjects

[Greek or Hebrew] Levatus, forgiven.] Eased, [Greek or Hebrew], signifies to take away, to bear, to carry away. Two words in Scripture are chiefly used to denote remission, [Greek or Hebrew], to expiate, [Greek or Hebrew], to bear, or carry away; the one signifies the manner whereby it is done, viz. atonement; the other the effect of this expiation, carrying away; one notes the meritorious cause, the other the consequent.

〈non-Latin alphabet〉 Levatus, forgiven.] Eas'd, 〈non-Latin alphabet〉, signifies to take away, to bear, to carry away. Two words in Scripture are chiefly used to denote remission, 〈non-Latin alphabet〉, to expiate, 〈non-Latin alphabet〉, to bear, or carry away; the one signifies the manner whereby it is done, viz. atonement; the other the effect of this expiation, carrying away; one notes the meritorious cause, the other the consequent.

[Greek or Hebrew] Covered.] Alluding to the covering of the Egyptians in the Red Sea. Menochius thinks it alludes to the manner of writing among the Hebrews, which he thinks to be the same with that of the Romans; as writing with a Pencil upon wax spread upon Tables, which when they would blot out, they made the Wax plain, and drawing it over the writing, covered the former letters. And so it is equivalent with that expression of blotting out sin, as in the other allusion it is with casting sin into the depths of the Sea.
