the_o author_n thereof_o concern_v the_o text_n where_o it_o be_v say_v that_o the_o foundation_n thereof_o be_v lay_v among_o the_o holy_a hill_n this_o must_v be_v apply_v untoo_o god_n for_o it_o be_v a_o common_a manner_n of_o speech_n amongst_o the_o hebrews_n too_o put_v the_o relative_n before_o the_o name_n of_o he_o of_o who_o mention_n be_v make_v the_o meaning_n therefore_o be_v this_o that_o he_o have_v lay_v his_o fundation_n among_o those_o holy_a hill_n many_o have_v understand_v this_o of_o the_o temple_n but_o this_o agree_v not_o other_o understande_v it_o of_o the_o psalm_n asthough_a it_o be_v say_v that_o the_o argument_n or_o matter_n of_o this_o psalm_n be_v too_o entreat_v of_o those_o holy_a mountain_n where_o the_o temple_n be_v build_v but_o this_o be_v no_o more_o agreeable_a than_o the_o former_a but_o as_o i_o have_v already_o say_v the_o purpose_n of_o the_o prophet_n be_v to_o show_v that_o god_n have_v choose_v the_o holy_a mountain_n to_o the_o end_n he_o may_v there_o build_v his_o royal_a city_n jerusalem_n and_o his_o temple_n for_o it_o follow_v a_o little_a after_o in_o the_o text_n that_o the_o most_o high_a shall_v establish_v it_o it_o be_v very_o certain_a that_o god_n be_v the_o true_a &_o principal_a founder_n of_o all_o the_o city_n in_o the_o world_n but_o this_o so_o excellent_a a_o title_n be_v not_o attribute_v too_o any_o other_o city_n but_o to_o jerusalem_fw-la that_o it_o shall_v be_v the_o everlasting_a rest_a place_n of_o god_n and_o that_o he_o will_v dwell_v there_o because_o that_o he_o have_v choose_v it_o 132.3_o psal_n 132.3_o we_o must_v always_o note_v this_o difference_n that_o other_o city_n be_v not_o build_v by_o the_o power_n and_o authority_n of_o god_n unless_o it_o be_v for_o their_o earthly_a policy_n but_o that_o jerusalem_n be_v his_o sanctuary_n and_o that_o he_o have_v special_o choose_v it_o as_o it_o be_v the_o seat_n of_o his_o majesty_n and_o so_o also_o do_v the_o prophet_n esay_n speak_v thereof_o what_o shall_v the_o messenger_n of_o the_o people_n say_v it_o be_v 14.32_o esay_n 14.32_o that_o the_o lord_n have_v found_v zion_n which_o be_v more_o although_o that_o all_o the_o country_n of_o judea_n be_v dedicate_v unto_o he_o yet_o it_o be_v say_v that_o cast_v all_o other_o aside_o he_o have_v reserve_v this_o city_n of_o jerusalem_n to_o himself_o that_o he_o may_v reign_v there_o and_o this_o be_v that_o which_o follow_v in_o the_o second_o verse_n verse_n 2._o the_o lord_n love_v the_o gate_n of_o zion_n above_o all_o the_o tabernacle_n of_o jacob_n too_o which_o agree_v that_o which_o be_v say_v in_o the_o 78._o psalm_n 78.60_o psal_n 78.60_o that_o god_n have_v reject_v siloh_n the_o tribe_n of_o ephraim_n the_o tabernacle_n of_o joseph_n that_o he_o may_v dwell_v in_o zion_n which_o he_o have_v love_v let_v we_o mark_v well_o also_o the_o cause_n which_o the_o prophet_n mention_v here_o why_o god_n have_v prefer_v one_o certain_a place_n before_o all_o other_o to_o wit_n not_o for_o the_o worthiness_n of_o the_o place_n but_o for_o the_o mere_a love_n which_o he_o bear_v unto_o it_o wherefore_o if_o any_o man_n ask_v whence_o this_o excellent_a privilege_n that_o jerusalem_n have_v come_v that_o it_o shall_v be_v call_v the_o holy_a city_n of_o god_n and_o his_o royal_a palace_n the_o answer_n be_v easy_a and_o short_a and_o that_o be_v because_o it_o have_v so_o please_v god_n this_o pleasure_n be_v as_o it_o be_v the_o fountain_n and_o root_n of_o his_o love_n the_o end_n as_o he_o show_v be_v because_o he_o will_v have_v there_o some_o place_n wherein_o his_o religion_n shall_v have_v dwell_v to_o nourish_v a_o assure_a unity_n of_o faith_n amongst_o the_o jew_n until_o the_o come_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n and_o that_o in_o the_o end_n the_o gospel_n shall_v spring_v from_o thence_o too_o be_v publish_v throughout_o the_o whole_a world_n and_o thus_o the_o prophet_n to_o magnify_v the_o city_n of_o jerusalem_n say_v that_o god_n be_v the_o founder_n thereof_o and_o that_o he_o there_o rule_v as_o the_o governor_n but_o to_o the_o end_n that_o man_n shall_v not_o take_v occasion_n too_o be_v proud_a of_o such_o a_o honour_n he_o add_v and_o show_v that_o all_o the_o excellency_n which_o jerusalem_n have_v must_v be_v attribute_v too_o the_o mere_a grace_n and_o adoption_n of_o god_n in_o that_o he_o put_v zion_n for_o the_o whole_a city_n and_o the_o gate_n for_o the_o whole_a wall_n and_o compass_n of_o the_o city_n it_o be_v by_o take_v a_o part_n for_o the_o whole_a by_o

untoo_o the_o promise_n which_o do_v assure_v they_o of_o a_o incredible_a glory_n that_o god_n will_v short_o geve_v too_o his_o church_n so_o then_o howsoever_o the_o thing_n that_o appear_v serve_v not_o to_o make_v the_o child_n of_o god_n rejoice_v yet_o notwithstanding_o the_o prophet_n command_v they_o to_o lift_v up_o their_o sense_n on_o high_a by_o the_o virtue_n of_o that_o word_n the_o

he_o intoo_o my_o account_v or_o i_o will_v enrol_v egypt_n and_o babylon_n amongst_o my_o famyliars_n or_o household_n one_o further_o he_o add_v that_o the_o philistine_n they_o of_o tyre_n and_o

now_o in_o speak_v so_o thereof_o he_o specifi_v a_o singular_a dignity_n of_o the_o church_n of_o god_n and_o that_o be_v that_o they_o which_o do_v despise_v it_o and_o do_v wish_v it_o too_o be_v

be_v point_v at_o which_o be_v such_o with_o the_o finger_n but_o that_o in_o zion_n there_o shall_v be_v great_a abundance_n the_o christian_a doctor_n with_o one_o consent_n apply_v this_o to_o

and_o we_o must_v always_o diligent_o take_v heed_n that_o the_o scripture_n under_o colour_n of_o subtlety_n be_v not_o rack_v too_o any_o other_o sense_n than_o it_o ought_v let_v it_o suffice_v we_o therefore_o too_o have_v the_o plain_a and_o simple_a exposition_n thereof_o that_o everye_o one_o may_v desire_v it_o for_o a_o great_a benefit_n to_o be_v receive_v a_o citizen_n of_o the_o
