And for the word [Greek or Hebrew], once, it is not to be restrained unto this particular, but refers equally unto all the Instances that follow, signifying no more but that those mentioned were really and truly partakers of them.

[Greek or Hebrew], is to give Light or Knowledge by teaching; the same with [Greek or Hebrew] which therefore is so translated oft-times by the Greeks. As by Aquila, Exod. 4. 12. Psal. 119. 33. Prov. 4. 4. Isa. 27. 11. as Drustus observes. And it is so by the LXX. Judg. 13. 8. 2 Kings 12. 2. chap. 17. 27. Our Apostle useth it for to make manifest, that is, bring to light, 1 Cor. 4. 5. 2 Tim. 1. 10. And the meaning of it, Joh. 1. 9. where we render it lighteth, is to teach. And [Greek or Hebrew] is Knowledge upon Instruction, 2 Cor. 4. 4. [Greek or Hebrew], that the Light of the Gospel should not shine into them; that is, the Knowledge of it, so ver. 6. [Greek or Hebrew]. The Light of the Knowledge. Wherefore to be enlightened in this place, is to be instructed in the Doctrine of the Gospel, so as to have a spiritual apprehension thereof. And this is so termed on a double account.
