It was showed before, that this 15th verse seems to be an Exposition of the latter part of the 13th verse. There it was said, The light takes hold of the ends of the earth, that the wicked might be shaken out of it; here it followeth, From the wicked, their light is with-holden; that is, wicked men, when the light hath discovered ⟨p. 139⟩them, are with-holden from their light, or their light is with-holden from them.
It was shewed before, that this 15th verse seems to be an Exposition of the latter part of the 13th verse. There it was said, The light takes hold of the ends of the earth, that the wicked might be shaken out of it; here it followeth, From the wicked, their light is with-holden; that is, wicked men, when the light hath discovered ⟨p. 139⟩them, are with-holden from their light, or their light is with-holden from them.
