Opened, and applyed fromCilium PrieflirOffice. 73 And now here, in this Y 7. of Matthew, at the transfigure- don, Mofes and Elias appeared, which they did not in the 3. of Matthew. Firif, Confider , that the Finphafis may lie upon the word Hear, and not upon the word Rim, only : This is my belovedSon in whom I am well"leafed : Hearye him; His face did thine as the San, and his rayment was white as the light.
