2. His Title is, [Greek or Hebrew], the King of Salem, of which place we have spoken before. This is by Interpretation saith our Apostle, [Greek or Hebrew] the King 1of Peace. Some think that herein occurs a greater Difficulty, than did in the Interpretation of his Name. For [Greek or Hebrew] Salem, say they, doth not signify Peace, but [Greek or Hebrew] Shalom. Salem is only as much as Pacificus, Peaceable, not Pax, or Peace it self. But yet neither ought this to give us any trouble. For Instances may be given in this Language wherein the same word is used sometimes Substantively, sometimes Adjectively; as for Instance [Greek or Hebrew] and [Greek or Hebrew] and [Greek or Hebrew] are. And upon the matter the signification is the same. Rex pacificus and Rex pacis do both denote him that is the Maker and Author of Peace. So God on that Account is called the God of Peace, Rom. 15. 13. Chap. 16. 20. 1 Thes. 5. 23. 2 Thes. 3. 16. Heb. 13. 20. Wherefore as we ought to acquiesce in the Authority of the Apostle who knew better than us all, the signification of these Names, so that he gives, is proper according unto our best conception of these things.
