Footnotes

  1. John 4:23 This word (Spirit) is to be taken here, as it is set against that commandment, which is called carnal, Heb. 7:16, as the commandment is considered in itself: and so he speaketh of (Truth) not as we set it against a lie, but as we take it in respect of the outward ceremonies of the Law: which did only shadow that which Christ performed indeed.
  2. John 4:24 By the word (Spirit) he meaneth the nature of the Godhead, and not the third person in the Trinity.
