Nehemiah3:30
Verſe 30. After him repaired Hananiah] Or, After me: Nehemiah, doubtleſſe, did his part, and a large one too, See chap. 16. and 4.16. but he omitteth, out of his modeſty to ſet down how much. In the Hebrew Text it is, After me: but in the Margin, After him. The reaſon is given by ſome to be this; that Nehemiah might moſt covertly ſet forth his own work, to avoyd all ſhew of vain glory.
And Hanun the ſixth ſon of Zalaph] Not the eldeſt, but the beſt of all the brethren. There muſt be no ſtraining courteſy who ſhall begin: nor muſt men fear for their forwardneſſe to be ſtiled Seraphical and ſingular. If Hanun were alone, it was a ſhame for his brethren to ſuffer him to be ſo.
