- 1The principal points of the Sermon.The principall poyntes of the Sermon.
But before we come to entreat of the oration of this legate, it were good to declare what he was. The Hebrew word Melach, 1and also the Greek word [Greek or Hebrew], are doubtful, and sometimes they signify a nature without a body, I mean spirits the ministers of God, and other sometimes they signify a messenger, what soever he be. There are examples of these in many places of the scriptures, which should be superfluous now to declare. Some supposed that some certain spirit was sent from God, which appeared unto the people in a visible form, and reproved them as he was commanded: And they persuade them selves that he was first seen in Gilgal, and there commanded the people, to ascend from thence to a place, which was afterward called Bochim of weeping. The Hebrew word Melach is not against this interpretation: and that maketh with it also, because he speaketh as God.2
