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.
The word Upholding, is metaphorical, and by way of resemblance applied to1 Christ. It signifieth to bear, carry or uphold a thing: as the friends, who took up and mbrought to Christ a palsy man: And also nto move, carry, order and dispose a thing, as the winds drive and carry Ships hither and thither. The LXX use this word, to set out the Spirits moving upon the waters, at the first forming and creating things. And the Apostle useth it to set out the Spirits guiding and disposing4 the Prophets in penning the sacred Scriptures. The word may fitly be here taken in all these significations; for neither do cross the other, but all well and truly stand together.
