Theproper fignthcation of the words in this VerCe is much to be heeded, as that which willgive us much light into the fenfeofthe whole. npfpver is decet, eonvenit, dignum eft: it becometh;:,it is meet convenient or j,tfl. neiorov Asoîs, in Plato, is remixed by Cicero,.

The word then fignifies that decency and becóming/a/which Juflice Reafon and Equity require ; fo that the contrary wouldbe unmeet, becaufe nnegnal and unjn)f. Thus every ones Duty, that which is morally incumbent on him inhis place and Elation, is that which becomes him : and thence in the New Teflament, that which is not rasoi 7ó WAIF or, thus decent, is condemned as evil, 1 Gro. r 1. 13. i Tim. ît. 1o.

Some from thisexpreffion would have theSon to be the Perfon here fpoken of, becaufe concerning him it is frequently fail, that all things are di áur'i, yob. 1. 3. 1 Cor. 8.6. Heb. 1.3 but it is ufed alfowith reference unto the Father, Rom. is. 36. Gal. 1. 1;. Schlielingiter here gives it for a rule, that when d,d relates unto theFather, it denotes the principal efficient caul ; when unto the Son, the inttru- mental.

The principal Efficiency or fupremeProduc ion ofall things by God, is inténded in this expreflion. 'AyttlArra. .Ayayóvra, bringing; a word of common ufe and known figniRcation, but in this place attended with a double difficulty, from a double Enall gie in the ufe of it. Firn, in the Cafe; for whereas it Items to relate unto,uTi;, it became him in bringing, it fhould then regularly be áyayóvrt, not dyaydvra. Hence Come by fuppofing a Ou)sw1'n in the words, refer it unto dgxnydv, the Author as if the Apoflle had laid, Tdv ágxnydv d sr,ns ia, dorm "v aotQdç ÿ1t elyaydvra, to make perfeii the Captainof their falvation, who brought many fns unto glory. But this tranfpoltion of the words, neither the context, nor the addition of uraa o, their, 'into orarneae, theirfalvgtion, re- lating unto the Sons before mentioned, will by any means allow. Wherefore an Enallage ofthe cafe is neceffarily to be allowed; d31y6vrx for teyaybvre, unle&s We fuppofe a repetition of étrgtut, which frequently admitsof the Accufative cafe lyt the principalAuthor is unqueflionably intended. Again, iya) tern is a Participleofthe fecond Aoriftus, which ufually denotes the time pall ; and thence is it tranflated by many, èdduxit, adduxerat, and ftliie addedlir; after he had brought many foss to glory. And this fome refer to the Saints who died under the Old7Jtament, unto whomthe Lord Quill was no ILO a Captainof than to us. And fo the Aponte thews, that after they were faxed on his account, it was meet that he fhould anfwer for them according to his undertaking. But neither Both this reliraining of the word anfwer the Apoilles intention. For it is evident that he principally minded them, unto whom the Lord Jefus became eminently a Captain of falvation, after he was perf.iied by fafrings, though not excluuvely unto them that went be- fore. 'AyecOrra then is put for dyorra, unlefs we (hall fuppofe that the all of God here intended was on purpofe thus exprelled to comprehend all the Çons, both thdfe that lived before, and thofe that lived after the fufftrings of Chri(l; bringing, leading, bearing.
