Dr. Patrick's Paraphrase is; Whom He knows how to gather out of all their Dispersions, and to find every one of them, wherever they are, tho' as numerous as the Stars of Heaven. [Gen. XV. 5.] which He as distinctly and exactly understands (how confused soever they seem to us to be scattered in the Sky,) as we do those things which we call by their proper Names. Munster's Gloss is the same, Eadem facilitate qua stellas in Caelo dispersas m•merat.
