2. He reduces them to the faith and sound believing of his coming in the world, which was to save mens lives, not to destroy them, v. 56. it's a notable healing of the too hot blood, that is in fiery zeal to believe soundly the meekness of Christ; therefore would hot and wild-fire influences be well tried whence they come, from Heaven or from Hell: for so some who kill the Lords Apostles, judge then if sparkles of fire can come from heaven, John 16. 2. when it is nothing so. Ophni and Phinehas are publicly zealous for the Lord; Moses meek in the injury done to him by Miriam, and by Core and Dathan, and his, is fiery against the golden calf in the Lords cause; hence influences from God set them a work, and eat them up as zeal for the Lords house eat up David, Psalm 69. 9. Psalm 119. 139. and Christ, John 2. 17.
