Ephesians4:18
Verſe 18. Having the underſtanding darkned] By the devils black hand held before their eyes, 2 Cor. 4.4. See the Note there.
Alienated from the life of God] That is, from a godly life, which none can live, [non-Latin text not transcribed], Caliū obductum but thoſe that partake of the divine nature, 2 Pet. 1.4.
Becauſe of the blindeneſſe] Gr. Hardneſſe, brawnineſſe, a hoof upon their hearts, corneas fibras, brawny breſts, horny heart-ſtrings. The Greek word imports a Metaphor from the hard hand of hardeſt labourers.
