Ver. 7. [Greek or Hebrew]; who maketh his Angels Spirits, and his Ministers a flame of fire. From Psal. 104. v. 4. The LXX. [Greek or Hebrew], a flaming fire. Heb. [Greek or Hebrew] fire of flame. Aquila [Greek or Hebrew], a vehement fire. Symmachus [Greek or Hebrew], a fiery flame; much variety, with little or no difference, as it often falls out amongst good Translators rendering peculiar Hebraisms, such as this is.

The words exactly answer the Original, and they are the same in the Translation of the LXX, and whence that coincidence was, we shall afterwards enquire. Aquila somewhat otherwise, [Greek or Hebrew]; Symmachus [Greek or Hebrew] ([Greek or Hebrew] came to be translated [Greek or Hebrew], from likeness of sound) in [Greek or Hebrew] O God, he expresseth the Apostrophe which is evident in the Context. [Greek or Hebrew] he renders by [Greek or Hebrew] sceptrum, a Sceptre, properly, as we shall see afterwards, on
