we_o rev._n 17._o 5._o that_o the_o christian_a rome_n of_o the_o spouse_n of_o christ_n shall_v become_v a_o babylonish_n strumpet_n and_o the_o mother_n of_o the_o fornication_n and_o abomination_n of_o the_o earth_n at_o the_o same_o mark_n aim_v this_o prophecy_n of_o my_o text_n though_o perhaps_o less_o take_v notice_n of_o than_o the_o rest_n the_o evidence_n whereof_o i_o hope_v you_o will_v confess_v with_o i_o when_o i_o have_v unfold_v the_o same_o understand_v therefore_o that_o the_o word_n i_o have_v read_v be_v a_o prediction_n of_o a_o corruption_n of_o faith_n which_o shall_v one_o day_n surprise_v and_o overcloud_v the_o visible_a church_n or_o that_o company_n of_o man_n upon_o who_o the_o name_n of_o christ_n be_v call_v and_o who_o outward_o profess_v he_o to_o

to_o show_v he_o and_o point_n he_o where_o the_o sun_n be_v when_o the_o whole_a face_n of_o heaven_n be_v overcast_v with_o cloud_n will_v you_o not_o believe_v the_o sun_n be_v in_o the_o

to_o discern_v the_o company_n of_o those_o who_o still_o keep_v entire_a the_o true_a and_o unstained_a faith_n of_o the_o gospel_n yet_o we_o rest_v assure_v that_o it_o be_v under_o the_o cloud_n

if_o the_o wheat_n overmaster_n the_o tare_n he_o easy_o might_n this_o be_v the_o very_a case_n of_o the_o true_a church_n so_o long_o as_o the_o apostasy_n prevail_v and_o we_o who_o live_v now_o

to_o apprehend_v for_o he_o that_o read_v the_o whole_a psalm_n will_v think_v it_o be_v nothing_o else_o but_o a_o description_n of_o man_n excellency_n who_o god_n have_v make_v next_o to_o the_o

of_o the_o sea_n but_o what_o be_v the_o dominion_n over_o these_o to_o subdue_a of_o enemy_n which_o the_o apostle_n cite_v it_o for_o or_o how_o be_v that_o which_o be_v a_o description_n of_o

covert_n of_o a_o allusion_n namely_o that_o the_o apostle_n only_o borrow_v the_o word_n of_o the_o psalmist_n to_o express_v his_o own_o and_o not_o the_o psalmist_n meaning_n but_o howsoever_o this_o may_v have_v place_n in_o some_o other_o allegation_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n which_o be_v for_o illustration_n or_o exornation_n only_o yet_o when_o the_o testimony_n be_v bring_v for_o

be_v to_o be_v understand_v by_o way_n of_o eminency_n of_o christ_n the_o chief_a of_o the_o son_n of_o man_n this_o indeed_o be_v something_o but_o not_o enough_o for_o what_o be_v the_o dignity_n of_o man_n in_o regard_n of_o his_o dominion_n and_o lordship_n over_o the_o creature_n to_o conquer_a and_o subdue_a of_o enemy_n which_o be_v that_o the_o apostle_n seek_v to_o demonstrate_v thence_o well_o to_o hold_v you_o no_o long_o in_o suspense_n the_o key_n of_o the_o interpretation_n of_o this_o psalm_n and_o the_o ground_n of_o s._n paul_n accommodation_n of_o that_o passage_n thou_o haste_v put_v all_o thing_n under_o his_o foot_n to_o christ_n victory_n be_v to_o be_v seek_v in_o the_o word_n i_o have_v now_o choose_v out_o of_o the_o mouth_n of_o babe_n and_o suckling_n etc._n etc._n which_o be_v first_o allege_v by_o our_o saviour_n in_o the_o gospel_n in_o defence_n of_o that_o acclamation_n give_v unto_o he_o by_o his_o follower_n hosanna_n that_o be_v save_v

give_v the_o apostle_n good_a warrant_n to_o interpret_v the_o psalm_n as_o he_o do_v and_o to_o ground_v a_o demonstration_n thereon_o i_o shall_v therefore_o divide_v my_o discourse_n into_o two_o part_n first_o i_o will_v show_v the_o meaning_n of_o the_o word_n as_o they_o stand_v in_o the_o psalm_n and_o second_o make_v it_o appear_v that_o our_o saviour_n in_o the_o gospel_n cite_v they_o according_a to_o that_o meaning_n the_o whole_a drift_n therefore_o of_o the_o psalm_n be_v to_o praise_v and_o glorify_v god_n for_o the_o dignity_n wherewith_o he_o have_v invest_v man_n what_o be_v man_n say_v he_o that_o thou_o be_v mindful_a of_o he_o or_o the_o son_n of_o man_n that_o thou_o visite_a he_o for_o thou_o have_v make_v he_o a_o little_a or_o not_o much_o lower_v than_o the_o angel_n and_o have_v crown_v he_o with_o glory_n and_o honour_n this_o glory_n and_o honour_n be_v exemplify_v in_o two_o particular_n first_o in_o that_o god_n have_v ordain_v man_n even_o that_o weak_a and_o feeble_a creature_n man_n to_o subdue_v and_o conquer_v his_o enemy_n which_o be_v that_o my_o text_n express_v in_o the_o word_n before_o name_v out_o of_o the_o mouth_n of_o babe_n and_o suckling_n thou_o have_v ordain_v strength_n because_o of_o thy_o enemy_n that_o thou_o may_v quell_v the_o enemy_n and_o the_o avenger_n second_o in_o that_o he_o have_v make_v man_n the_o lord_n of_o all_o his_o creature_n thou_o have_v make_v he_o say_v he_o to_o have_v dominion_n over_o the_o work_n of_o thy_o hand_n then_o follow_v as_o it_o be_v the_o sum_n up_o of_o both_o in_o a_o word_n thou_o have_v put_v all_o thing_n under_o his_o foot_n for_o have_v ordain_v he_o both_o the_o champion_n to_o conquer_v thy_o enemy_n and_o make_v he_o at_o his_o creation_n the_o lord_n and_o ruler_n of_o the_o work_n of_o thy_o hand_n quid_fw-la reliquum_fw-la est_fw-la what_o honour_n can_v thou_o have_v give_v he_o which_o thou_o have_v not_o lord_n therefore_o what_o be_v man_n that_o thou_o be_v mindful_a of_o he_o or_o the_o son_n of_o man_n that_o thou_o visite_a he_o where_o be_v to_o be_v observe_v that_o the_o corollary_n thou_o have_v put_v all_o thing_n under_o his_o foot_n come_v in_o before_o his_o time_n namely_o before_o the_o description_n of_o this_o exemplification_n of_o man_n dominion_n over_o the_o creature_n be_v full_o end_v as_o if_o the_o prophet_n out_o of_o admiration_n can_v hold_v no_o long_o from_o tell_v we_o the_o sum_n of_o that_o dignity_n wherewith_o man_n be_v invest_v thou_o have_v make_v he_o say_v he_o to_o have_v dominion_n over_o the_o work_n of_o thy_o hand_n and_o so_o one_o way_n or_o other_o thou_o have_v put_v all_o thing_n under_o his_o foot_n then_o follow_v the_o other_o part_n of_o the_o description_n all_o sheep_n and_o ox_n over_o these_o thou_o have_v make_v he_o have_v dominion_n the_o beast_n of_o the_o field_n the_o fowl_n of_o the_o air_n and_o the_o fish_n of_o the_o sea_n whereas_o in_o direct_a order_n it_o shall_v have_v stand_v thus_o thou_o have_v make_v he_o have_v dominion_n over_o the_o work_n of_o thy_o hand_n over_o all_o sheep_n and_o ox_n the_o beast_n of_o the_o field_n and_o fowl_n of_o the_o air_n and_o fish_n of_o the_o sea_n and_o so_o in_o the_o upshot_n thou_o have_v put_v all_o thing_n under_o his_o foot_n for_o this_o last_o particular_a of_o man_n dignity_n to_o have_v dominion_n over_o the_o creature_n it_o be_v so_o plain_o and_o evident_o intend_v in_o the_o psalm_n that_o i_o shall_v need_v speak_v no_o more_o of_o it_o i_o return_v therefore_o to_o the_o former_a to_o make_v it_o clear_v also_o that_o god_n ordain_v man_n not_o only_o to_o exercise_v dominion_n over_o the_o visible_a creature_n but_o to_o be_v the_o champion_n to_o conquer_v and_o

who_o spring_v from_o so_o weak_a and_o poor_a a_o begin_n as_o of_o babe_n and_o suckling_n namely_o out_o of_o the_o mouth_n of_o babe_n not_o in_o sensu_fw-la composito_fw-la but_o diviso_fw-la of_o such_o who_o condition_n be_v to_o be_v babe_n and_o suckling_n not_o that_o they_o shall_v exercise_v this_o strength_n he_o speak_v of_o to_o quell_v the_o enemy_n and_o the_o avenger_n while_o
