[Greek or Hebrew]. By whom also he made the worlds.
〈non-Latin alphabet〉. By whom also he made the worlds.
The Apostle in these words gives further strength to his present Argument, from another Consideration of the Person of the Messiah; wherein he also discovers the foundation of the Preeminence ascribed unto him in the words last insisted on. By him the worlds were made; so that they were his own, Joh. 1.11. and it was meet that in the new condition which he underwent, that he should be the Lord of them all. Moreover, if all things be made by him, all disobedience unto him is certainly most unreasonable, and will be attended with inevitable ruin; of the Truth whereof, the Apostle aims to convince the Hebrews.

Now whereas the Assertion which presents its self at first view in these words is such, as if we rightly apprehend the meaning of the Holy Ghost in it, must needs determine the Controversy that the Apostle had with the Jews, and is of great use and importance unto the faith of the Saints in all ages, I shall first free the words from false glosses and interpretations, and then explain the Truth asserted in them, both absolutely, and with relation to the present purpose of the Apostle.
