§. 80. Of the meaning of the 4th verse of the 104. Psalm.
IN regard of the divers acceptions of these words, some apply them to a•ry and fiery meteors, as to winds and lightning: thus most of the Jewish, and many of our amodern Expositors take these words; as if we should thus translate them according to their sense, Who maketh the winds his Messengers, and the lightning his Ministers: Thus they binvert the plain order of the words, putting that in the first place, namely, spirits or winds, which in the Text is in the latter place, and Angels or Messengers in the latter, which are in the first: The like inverting of order is in the second clause, and in both places without any need.
