Acts2:27
27 Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell, neither wilt thou suffer thine▪ holy One to see corruption.
That is me; the Soul is put for the person, as Rom. 13.1. Let every soul be subject: and sometimes for a dead Body, as Levit. 19.28. Numb. 5.2. and in divers other places, [non-Latin text not transcribed] that signifies a Soul, is so used.
The word [non-Latin text not transcribed], is put [illegible: 1 letter]ither for the grave, or for the place of the damned. Being these words are alledg'd as a proof of Christs Resurrection, and that our Saviours Soul was certainly in Paradice, where he promised to the penitent thief, that he should be with him: it seems rather to be mean'd of the grave, which according to this Prophecy, could not hold our blessed Saviours body so long, as that it should corrupt in it. If David by his Soul, here did mean our Saviour, because he was as it were the Soul of his Soul, and Life of his Life, it shews how he did, and how we ought to value him.
As being Anointed, Sanctified, and sent by God.
