Ezechiel — Chapter 3
These annotations are from the original 1609 Douay Old Testament, the first complete English Catholic Bible translation, produced by English scholars in exile at the English College of Douai. The archaic spelling is preserved.
This content was digitized from the original 1609 Douay (Old Testament) and 1582 Rheims (New Testament) print editions by OCR. The OCR process sometimes confused print page numbers with verse numbers, and may have assigned annotations to the wrong chapter. Chapter and verse labels on this page reflect the OCR output from the original print pagination and may not correspond to canonical Scripture chapter/verse numbers. For canonical reference, consult a standard Douay-Rheims edition. The annotation texts themselves are authentic 1609/1582 Douay-Rheims content.
Verse 1
By this Metaphor of eating a book, is signified, that the Prophet received reuelations from God, as appeareth. v. 10 &c.
Verse 7
By this place and the like (Mat. 11. v. 21.) it seemeth that the same grace being offered to diuers persons, some doe accept it, and some doe not: but the cause of difference is by more grace added to the former which was sufficient before, and by this superaddition is made effectual. That God giueth this abundance to some is of his mercie, and that he giueth it not to other is no iniurie. Ro. 9.
