[Greek or Hebrew], Sir. by an usual Idiotism of that Language, the Sons of Man. [Greek or Hebrew], qui moriuntur, who dye. Vul. Lat. Homines morientes, dying men; of which difference we must speak afterwards; [Greek or Hebrew], generally, de quo testatum est, quod vivat. Vul. Lat. Ibi autem contestatur quia vivit; which the Rhemists render, but there he hath witness, that he Liveth; both obscurely. Arius, Testatione dictus quia vivit, to no Advantage. [Greek or Hebrew], is properly, is de quo testatur, as Erasmus, Beza, Castalia, Smidle, render it. The Arabic concurs with the Vulgar.

〈non-Latin alphabet〉, Syr. by an usual Idiotisme of that Language, the Sons of Man. 〈non-Latin alphabet〉, qui moriuntur, who dye. Vul. Lat. Homines morientes, dying men; of which difference we must speak afterwards; 〈non-Latin alphabet〉, generally, de quo testatum est, quod vivat. Vul. Lat.

Arius, Testatione dictus quia vivit, to no Advantage. 〈non-Latin alphabet〉, is properly, is de quo testatur, as Erasmus, Beza, Castalia, Smidle, render it. The Arabick concurs with the Vulgar. The Syriack by way of Paraphrase; He of whom the Scripture witnesseth that he Liveth.

And we may consider in them, (1.) The Circumstances of the Comparison. (2.) The general Agreement of both sorts, which is the ground of the Comparison. (3.) The parts of the Antithesis or Opposition, or dissimilitude between them.
