Hebrews2:8
Verſe 8. Vnder his feet] It is not ſaid, Vnder his hands, but under his feet. 1. That he may trample upon them with his feet, and not dote upon them with his heart. 2. That by them, as by a ſtep or ſtirrop, he may raiſe his heart to things above. A ſanctified fancy can make every creature a ladder to heaven.
He left nothing] No, not Angels.
Not yet all things put under him]Rebellis fact a eſt, quia ho[illegible: 1 letter]o numini [illegible: 2 letters]eatura bomini. Aug. The creature rebelleth againſt man, becauſe he rebelleth againſt God. If the Maſter be let upon, the ſervants will draw, and fight for him.
