OLBHeb;
Whom God hath raised up: Christ rose by his own power as God: it being, perhaps, too strong meat to be given at first to such who were under so great prejudices against our Saviour; but by consequence in the following discourse he sufficiently shows it. Loosed; the same word lbx variously pointed, signifying either a cord or pain, the metaphor of loosing agrees with it. The pains of death: though our Lord endured no more pain after he had said, It is finished, and had yielded up the ghost; yet whilst he was in the grave, being under the power of death, the pains of death are said to be loosed at his resurrection. It was not possible that he should be holden of it long, much less for ever; being such a one as David spake of.
