John Trapp on Revelation 1:4

Verſe 4. [non-Latin text not transcribed] From him which is] An auguſt deſcription of the Father by a manifeſt alluſion to Exod 3.14. Some Critick, reading the words as they lie in the Originall, would be apt to complain of an incongruity,Non d[illegible: 1 letter]he[illegible: 1 letter]t verba [illegible: 1 span] [illegible: 1 letter]ra uli[illegible: 1 letter]ſ[illegible: 1 letter]beſſ[illegible: 1 letter] regulis Donat[illegible: 1 letter]. Greg. and to ſay, Novè & duritèr dictum. But God methinks, ſhould have leave given him by theſe Logodaedali, to pronounce his own name undeclined, and, by an out rule; who himſelf is undeclined, and comes not under any rule.

And from the ſeven ſpirits] So the holy Ghoſt is here called, for his manifold gifts and operations, in the hearts of thoſe ſeven, and all other Churches▪ In like ſort he is called, The ſeven golden pipes thorow which the two olive branches do empty out of themſelves the golden oils of all precious graces into the golden candle-ſtick the Church, Zach. 4.2, 3. So, ſome interpret thoſe ſeven eyes upon one ſtone, Zach, 3.9. concerning the Spirit in his ſeverall operations upon Chriſt, according to Iſa 1.2.
