The two lattermoft ofwhich depend upon the firft, for what refped that bath, the fame fhail thofe alto have, feeing they are all referredto the fame thing. But(another)here doth not lignifie a fingular perfon, as the Grammarians teach, whofe rule is this, that Eteros in Greeke, Alter inLatin, the other inEnglifh do lignifie one ofthe tWo, but the words Alles in Greeke, alias in Latin, another in English, lignifie one among many.

Therefore it folioweth neceffarily out of this certain and true Rule, that here is not any one certainman underftood; neither is it the opinion ofthe Grammarians onely, but alfo the cuaomable man- ner offpeaking in Scriptures,confirmeth this, as toomit infiniteother Examples; There is one that foWeth, and another reapeth, Joh. 4. 37. What is there but one fower, and one reapermeant here ?
