¹Fourthly, The word remnant, as it signifieth in the Original any thing which remaineth, so especially that which remaineth in way of excellency, or eminency; not (as we say) the fag end of a thing, but even the uppermost and best of it. So that (after this translation) the remnant of them, is the excellency of them, that which they thought most durable, and honourable, that which they looked upon as most substantial and intrinsical to their greatness, that very thing the fire shall consume. So the word is used (Psal. 17.14.) Deliver my soul from men which are thy hand, O Lord, from men of the world &c. whose belly thou fillest with thy hid treasures, they are full of children, and leave the rest (or as we supply, the rest of their substance) to their babes; the rest, that is, the best; their bellies are full of hid treasures while they live, that is, they have and use abundance of the things of this life themselves; and they leave the rest; he doth not mean the scraps or parings after they had filled their own bellies, but by the rest or the remnant, (tis the word of the text) he meaneth the choicest of what they had; even that they leave to their babes or children, when themselves must be gone and leave the world. Thus we may understand the word remnant in this place, not for a poor pittance, but for the best, the choicest things, for the flower and cream of all they had, even these things the fire shall consume, vengeance shall pursue and follow, till all be turned into smoke and ashes.
