Hebrews5:14
Verſe 14. [non-Latin text not transcribed]. To them that are of full age] Or that are perfect, comparatively perfect, not only paſt the ſpoon, but full grown.
Who by reaſon of uſe] Gr. By reaſon of habit, got by continuall cuſtome, and long practice, as in an expert Artiſt.
Have their ſenſes exerciſed] Their inward ſenſes]: for the foul alſo hat her ſenſes, [non-Latin text not transcribed]. as the body hath. Inſtead of ſeeing, faith; of hearing obedience; of ſmelling, hope; of taſting, charity: of touching, humility.
To diſcern good and evil] Doth not the ear try words, and the mouth taſte his meat? Iob 12.11. Eye bath not ſeen, &c. 1 Cor. 2.9. Where the carcaſe is, the Eagles Will be. Saints have a ſpirituall ſagacity: and they lay hold on eternall life.
