If the Apostle had here staid, we might have thought that he had here meant no other thing then he meant dbefore, where he styled Christ an head, and the Church a body: but in that he addeth (Of his flesh and of his bones) he declareth yet a further mystery.

In the general there is a difference betwixt this phrase (e OF his body) and these (OF fhis flesh; and OF his bones) the former is a note of the ggenitive case, the two latter are a hpreposition: for distinction sake the two latter might have been translated, out of his flesh, out of his bones, or from his flesh, from his bones (for so a like phrase is translated ibefore, From whom) but seeing these particles out of, or from are ambiguous, the former translation may stand as the best, so as a difference be made in the sense though there be none in the words.
