On Heb . \ . 4 . Sm There is a clause , or rather a word , in the 4 th terse of the 1 st
chapter of the Epistle to the He . brews , which does not appear to have been duly attended to by expositors . The clause is , " As he ( Je ^ sus ) hath by inheritance ( per . haps allotment or appointtfneht , winch is the corisequehce of allot ftient ) obtained a inore e ^
cellent hamle than th § y ; " and the cardinal word upon wliich tarns the exptanatioh of the following Verses is name , as already marked ih'Italfcs . The introductory verses
of this chapter , h ^ ve bee n well -explained by several writers , with whose harties and latouris , taany , or most of youi * readers , may be supposed to be well acquainted .
Thq author of this epistle , in the seconcl ^ verse , having justly assumed it as a fact , that J ^ s us had beea prOclaLimed a Son ; proceeds at somd length to illustrate the sujjeriority of this name or title above that of angel , * or messenger ,
* It is - ^ ell known that angel > in scriptural language , is a general vrordt sfgnifying merely a picssenger , withou ^ detetmlniiig to what order or rank 61 beiirgk tll ^ at itltssetigcr Iiel 6 tigs . The angel or messenger may be merely human , or may be more than hitman , or may b « le %£ than human , as in the seventh verse of this chapter , \ vher 5 the tiritifc ° * heaven arc called angel ' s .
