II. The Sense of the words is to be considered. [Greek or Hebrew], is Capitulum, Caput, properly the Head of any living Creature. But the most frequent use of it is in a sense 1metaphorical, as it is here used by the Apostle. And so it hath a double sense and use whereunto it is principally applied, for it hath also other significations; For (1) It is taken for that which is chief and principal in any matter, business or cause. [Greek or Hebrew], Isoc. The Head of the whole Business. [Greek or Hebrew], Plato, de Legib. lib. 1. The principal thing in Education or Instruction. And so is Caput used among the Latines. Caput est in omni procuratione negotii & muneris publici, ut avaritiae pellatur etiam minima suspicio. This is the chief or ⟨p. 183⟩principal thing in the management of all public Affairs, that all suspicion of Covetousness be far away. (2) It is taken for the sum and substance of what hath been spoken or declared, reduced into a short Scheme. [Greek or Hebrew], ut summatim dicam, Demosthenes.

[Greek or Hebrew], the sum of what hath been spoken; so [Greek or Hebrew] Caput, the Head, is used in he Hebrew, [Greek or Hebrew] Exod. 30. 12. When thou takest the Head (the Sum) of the Children of Israel: So also Numb. 4. 2. And in this sense is [Greek or Hebrew] used by our Apostle as some think, Ephes. 1. 10. but it may have another sense in that place.
