Hebrews4:13

Verſe 13. Neither is there any creature] No not the creature of the heart, the moſt ſecret thoughts and intentions.

That is not manifest in his ſight] Or in the ſight of it, that is, of Word preached: but every the leaſt fibra, the ſmalleſt ſtring in the heart, that would eſcape the ſight of the moſt exact Anatomiſt is hereby cut up, See 1 Cor. 14.24.

But all things are naked and open] Naked, for the out-ſide, [non-Latin text not transcribed]. and opened, diſſected, quartered, cleft in the back-bone (as the word here ſignifieth) for the in ſide. Eraſmus rendereth it reſupinata, making it a metaphor from theſe that he with their faces up wards, that all paſſengers may ſee who they are. Theodoret read [illegible: 1 letter]th it, Hath the thro[illegible: 1 letter]t cut.

Ʋnto the eyes of him] Or rather, of it, of the word, where-with We have to do. The word, like a ſacrificing ſword, ſlits open, and, as it were, unridgeth the conſcience.
