1. [Greek or Hebrew] is properly, verbum dictum, a word spoken; and although it be sometimes used in another sense by our Apostle, and by him alone, chap. 1. 3. chap. 11. 3. where it denotes the effectual active power of God; yet both the signification of the word, and its principal use elsewhere, denotes words spoken, and when applied unto God, his word as preached and declared. See Rom. 10. 17. Joh. 6. 68. The Word of God, that is, the Word of the Gospel as preached, is that which they thus tasted of. But it may be said, that they enjoyed the Word of God in their state of Judaism; They did so, as to the written word; for unto them were committed the Oracles of God, Rom. 3. 2. But it is the word of God as preached in the Dispensation of the Gospel that is eminently thus called, and concerning which such excellent things are spoken, Rom. 1. 16. Acts 20. 32. Jam. 1. 21.
