Balduinus Walæus, his Comment upon the Acts was printed in Greek and Latin at Leyden, in 1653, in 4to. together with what he wrote upon the Gospels. F. le Long mentions an Edition, in 1662, at Amsterdam. He was of Flanders, a Calvinist, the Son of Antony; and died, according to Crovæus, in 1639.
Hammond’s Notes, translated into Latin by le Clerc, were printed at Amsterdam, 1714, in two Volumes in fol. We have already spoken of him; and shall say more of him in another Place. See his Title.
Zegerus, Camerarius, Piscator, &c. See the Synopsis of the Criticks.
Lightfoot’s Comment. Histor. in Acta. And his Horæ Hebraicæ in Acta. This is a chronological and critical Comment upon the Acts; printed with his other Works, mentioned by us in the Article of General Commentators. See his Title.
Christoph. Cartwright, Mellificium Hebraicum. This is not only upon the Acts, but likewise upon the whole Old and New Testament. We find it in the Great Criticks, tom. 9. p. 2976, to 3128. of the first Edition. We have spoken of him upon Genesis.
Joan. Pearson, Annales Paulini, & Lectiones in Acta Apostolorum; Lond. 1688, in 4to. This Author was an Englishman, Bishop of Chester; and died in 1687. The Collection of the Great Criticks is thought to have been made by him chiefly.
Ludovicus de Dieu, in Acta, & Balthazar Mentzer, a German, who died in 1627. His Comment was printed at Giessen, 1622, in 4to. the second Edition. He wrote likewise upon other Books of Scripture; as may be seen elsewhere. He was of Altendorf, a Lutheran, and Professor at Giessen. We have mentioned the Year of his Death in another Place. See his Title in the Index. What Lewis de Dieu wrote upon the Acts, is comprized in what he published upon the whole New Testament. See the general Article of Protestants, where we have spoken of him, and of his Works.
George Calixtus has a literal Exposition; printed at Brunswick, in 1654, in 4to. He deserves a place among the General Commentators. He too was a Lutheran; and died in 1656.

Otho Brunsfeld has Notes upon the Acts, and four Gospels; printed at Strasburg, 1535, in fol. We take notice, elsewhere, of another Work compos’d by him. He was a German, born at Brunsfeld near Mentz, and studied at the Carthusians, whose Habit he took: but relishing Luther’s Doctrines, he went to Strasburg, where he taught the Belles Lettres: afterwards removing to Basil, he went out Doctor of Physick there, and exercised this Art at Bern; where he died in 1534. See his Life among those of the German Physicians, by Melchior Adam, p. 10. See his Title in the Index.
Christopher de Saint Martin, a Lutheran, wrote a new Treatise; printed at Dresden, in 1703, in 4to. wherein he explains the 27th and 28th Verses of the fourth Chapter of the Acts. He has left nothing undone to make this Explication complete; for having first expounded the Greek Text, he has thought fit to add twelve different Versions to it, as well in Latin, as in almost all the European Languages. He afterwards divides his Work into three Chapters.
