Hebrews4:5

5 And in this place again o; If they shall enter into my rest .

Ei here is affirmative, as appears by comp. v. 3. and 6. that these shall have a real and full possession in the future after David's time of this Rest, and therefore different from Moses's Rest so long past before. The Word Rest in the Hebrew is not the same in the Text of Moses and David, Gen. 2.2, 3. it is [non-Latin text not transcribed] in Psalm 95.11. [non-Latin text not transcribed] This of David noting the full eeternal, comfortable Rest of Souls in Glory, sworn by God to Believers in the Gospel.

[non-Latin text not transcribed] here is not so much copulative, connecting an Instance of David to the same purpose of that of Moses about the seventh Days Rest from the Creation, but discretive, joyning an Instance of another Rest of God different from the seventh Days Rest. Moses spake of this, but David here of a further Rest; for in Psalm 95.11. David spake not of the seventh Day, but of God's last and eternal Rest.
