Modern spelling is a reading aid: the words are the author’s, only the spelling is modernized. Original shows the page as printed, with the transcription marks.
Words are air or breath formed and articulated, by the instruments of speech. Hence breath and words are put for the same in divers Scriptures (Psal. 33.6.) By the word of the Lord were the heavens made, and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth. Breath in the later clause, is no more then word in the first, for it was a powerful word, which caused all the creatures to stand out in their several forms. So Isa. 11.4. He shall smite the earth with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips (or with the wind of his lips) shall he stay the wicked; It is not blowing upon wicked men that will slay them, but it is speaking to them; there is a power in the word of a Prophet, when spoken in the Name of Christ, which destroys those who will not obey it, Hos. 6.5. I have hewed them by my Prophets, I have slain them by the words of my mouth.
