One of a thousand, referred to a person, notes a choice, excellent man, among all men (Job 33.23.) If there be an interpreter, one among a thousand, one choice man amongst many, or amongst all. He that rightly expounds the text of a troubled conscience, and interprets the mind of God to such a soul, is a chief, the flower of a thousand, a man of men. Christ (Cant. 5.10.) is called, the chiefest of ten thousand; the Hebrew is, a Standard-bearer, such are choice men, elect of the multitude, Christ is the elect of all the multitudes in the whole world; bring all Armies of men together, or an Army of man-kind, chose amongst them all, and you cannot ⟨p. 152⟩find such another as Christ is, he is the choice of ten thousand, that is, the choice of all the thousands that are in the world.
