Modern spelling is a reading aid: the words are the author’s, only the spelling is modernized. Original shows the page as printed, with the transcription marks.
The Type is contained in these words: And I said unto Verse. 3 her, thou shalt abide with me (or rather thou shalt abide unto me, or wait for me) many days: thou shalt not play the Harlot, and thou shalt be to no man, and I will be so unto thee. The which words are the speech of the Prophet unto the Adulteress, after that he had bought her unto him, wherein he telleth her, that howsoever in love to her, he had bought her, yet considering that she was an Adulteress, his purpose was, for a time to keep her single and separate both from himself and all others, that so he might make trial whether indeed she did truly repent of her former wicked courses, and so upon sufficient experience of her reformation, he might take her again to wife.
THe Type is contained in these words: And I said vnto Verse. 3 her, thou shalt abide with mee (or rather thou shalt abide vnto me, or waite for me) many dayes: thou shalt not play the Harlot, and thou shalt be to no man, and I will bee so vnto thee. The which words are the speach of the Prophet vnto the Adultresse, after that hee had bought her vnto him, wherein he telleth her, that howsoeuer in loue to her, he had bought her, yet considering that she was an Adultresse, his purpose was, for a time to keepe her single and seperate both from himselfe and all others, that so he might make tryall whether indeed she did truely repent of her former wicked courses, and so vpon sufficient experience of her reformation, hee might take her againe to wife.
But let us come to the words. And I said unto her: that is, after I the Prophet had bought the Adulteress in my vision, I did likewise in vision say unto her, Thou shalt abide me: The words are, Thou shalt sit for me: which in this phrase of speech have this sense, Thou shalt wait for me. So Exod. 124. 14. the same phrase is used, Sit for us here, that is, tarry and wait for us. The meaning is, I will not marry thee ⟨p. 20⟩
