Condemn-them as guilty Asham is a guilt sin or trespasse Levit. 5.19 whereof the word here used is to make-guilty or damn of trespasse and so the Greek here hath it Iudge or damn And because destruction and desolation abideth such as are damned for crime therfore is this word used also for desolating abolishing destroying Ezek. 6.6 Ioel. 1.18 And so may it be here meant punish or make them desolate O God So Psal 34 22.23 and 68.22 and 69.6 with the multitude or for the multitude the many trespasses or seditious-iniquities defections done purposely and disloyally and are therefore heinous and criminal The Greek often translateth it Vnlawfulnes or transgression of law which the Apostle followeth Rom. 4.7 from Psal 32.1 It is more then sin as may be gathered by Gen. 31.36 Exo. 34.7 and Iob 34.37 he addeth trespasse to his sin drive them away or drive him that is each of them A like phrase as was before Psal 2.3 So after in vers 12. upon them and him turned-rebellious or turned-bitter and so are very distastful unto thee by reason or their disobedience and stubbornesse and consequently doe provoke to bitternes and wrath doe exasperate The Hebrue word Marah hath properly the signification of changing and of bitternes applied to apostasie rebellion and disobedience Deut. 1.26 and 21.20 Ios 1.18 Vers 12. for ever or to eternitie showt or shrill-out sing joyfully for so commonly the Hebrue Ranan signifieth and is therefore by the holy Ghost interpreted to be merry or joyful Rom. 15.10 from Deut. 32.43 and Gal. 4.27 from Isai 54.1 yet somtime this word is to showt-shrill or cry-aloud for sorow as Psal 142.7 A loud shril noyse or shwting was used in thanksgivings and prayers Levit. 9.24 1. King 8.28 Psal 17.1 and 118.15 and 126.2 and 33.1 and thou shalt cover or for thou wilt cover protect or cast a covering over them and this is answerable to their hope or seeking-covert in God before mentioned and signifieth a safe protection from al hurt or evil as Exod. 33.22 Psal 140.8 be-glad or leap for joy exsult The word signifieth outward gladnes in gesture and countenance So also doth the Greek answerable hereto that where one Evangelist writeth Rejoyce and be glad Mat. 5.12 another sayth Rejoyce and leap Luk. 6.23 Vers 13. bukler a piked-sheild called tsinnah of the sharp-pikednes as an other kind of Scutchion is called Magen Psal 3.4 of fensing or protecting favourable-acceptation or good will gracious-liking or acceptance So the Hebrue Ratson meaneth derived of a word which by the Apostle signifieth to accept Heb. 12.6 from Prov. 3.12 and to be wel pleased or delighted Mat. 12.18 from Isa 42.1 So the year Ratson of acceptation is the acceptable year Luk. 4.19 from Isa 61.2 and the time of acceptation is the acceptable time 2.

Secondly it may be referred to Christian men which are the true temple of God 1 Cor. 3.17 at the dore of whose hearts he knocketh to have entrance Rev. 3.20 dores of eternity that is strong durable everlasting dores which being referred to the dores of Solomons temple note the perpetuall abiding of Gods Ark therin as â— King 9.3 Psal 132.13 14. Whereas before the Ark was removed from place to place 1 Chron. 17.5 Or being applied to Christians it noteth the eternall durance of the Church that enter may or and enter shall the King of glory that is the glorious King So Christ is called the Lord of glory 1 Cor. 2.8 Iam. 2.1 and the opening of the dores before him signifieth his entrance into and administration of the Kingdom as Isa 15 1.
