The Word in the Original which we translate Peculiar People, is [Greek or Hebrew], the Vulgar renders it Populus acceptabilis, an acceptable People, but not emphatical enough. [Greek or Hebrew] signifies Wealth, Plenty, Treasure, that which we have above our necessary Substance: Yea, not only Treasure, but the principal Part of it, that which is locked up in the Cabinet, and takes up but a little Room, as Jewels.

They shall be mine, saith the Lord of Hosts, in that Day when I make up my Jewels. The Word imports any choice and precious thing; that God loves those that are purified, as a covetous Man loves his Treasure, or a proud Man his Jewels and Honours.
