Deuteronomy34:6
6 And he buryed him in a valley in the land of Moab, over-against Beth-Peor: but no man knoweth of his sepulchre unto this day.
(i. e.) The Lord, last mentioned, buried him either immediately or by the ministery of Angels, whereof Michael was the Chief or Prince, Iude ver. 9.
i. e, Of the particular place of the Valley where he was buried: which God hid from the Israelites, to prevent their Superstition and Idolatry, to which he knew their great proneness. And for this very reason the Devil endeavoured to have it known and contended with Michael about it, Iude ver. 9. And seeing God would not endure the worship of the Relicks or Tomb of so eminent a person as Moses was, it is ridiculous to think God would permit this honour to be given to any of the succeeding Saints who were so far inferiour to him.
