[Greek or Hebrew], Parechasis, Digression, is, when something is added besides the purpose, or exceeds the intended Narration. Gen. 2.8, to 15. where there is a Digression, respecting the Habitation which God provided for the Man he created. Gen. 38. throughout is a Digression, as also Chap. 36. In the Epistles of Paul, there are many neat Digressions, which are fairly, tho with different Reasons, brought to serve his present scope, returning by a circle of Sentences to his first original purpose. Rom. 1.1, to ver. 8.1 the Apostle from his Name, digresses to his Vocation, ver. 1. then to define the Gospel, ver. 2. then to describe Christ, ver. 3, 4. again he comes to his own Vocation, v. 5. at length he greets the Romans with Grace and Peace, and so ends the Circle. His Scope runs thus, Paul the Apostle of the Gentiles, separated unto the Gospel, ver. 1. the Gospel is the Doctrine of the Son of God, ver. 2, 3. the Son of God is true God and Man, ver. 3, 4. By this Son of God and Man, Paul was called to the Apostle-ship, to preach among the Gentiles, ver. 5. the Romans are Gentiles, ver. 6. therefore let Grace and Peace from God the Father, and our Lord, Jesus Christ, be to the Romans, ver. 7. See 1 Cor. 1.13, &c. Eph. 3.1, &c. Col. 1.3, to the end. There are many of these Digressions in the Epistles of Peter, and in his Sermons, as they are described by Luke in the Acts, &c.
