The Circumstances of the Comparison are two. (1.) The manner of its Introduction, in the earnestness of the Assertion, in the Particle [Greek or Hebrew], it is as much as 1quidem or equidem, truly, verily, which is omitted in our Translation, though elsewhere the same Particle is so rendered. This moreover is the state of the Case in this matter. And the Insertion of it is proper unto an Affirmation upon a Concession, as this here is.

This Conjecture therefore is too Curious; nor do we need to tie up our selves unto the precise signification of the word [Greek or Hebrew], although that also be sometimes used with respect unto time as well as place. Wherefore these words here and there, do
