Great Hugo Cardinaliâ— the first Postillator of the Bible who flourished Anno 1240. a little also before that order was distinguished with the Horse and Red Hat and a man to whom all the Preachers of Christendome are more beholden then many of them are aware for much of that good iuce that sweetneth the expositions they read dropt from his penne though now like riuers falling into other channels it hath lost his name in his worthy Comment vpon the Psalter applieth the wordes haereditate possideamus sanctuarium dei against those that ambitiously seeke Church-liuings and dignities dispiersing the curses of this Psalme as well among the great men of the Cleargy as them of the Laity which by threatning or fauour obtaine Ecclesiastical promotions and particularly against such men of the Church as conferre Prebends and dignities vpon their Nephewes and kindred building as he saith Sion in their bloud and Ierusalem in inâ—quity Neither spareth hee the Popes themselues but chargeth them also that they possesse Gods Sanctuary by way of inheritance in that they keepe the succession of the Papacy among such as bee onely of the Romane nation And much more to this purpose which were here too long to recite but concluding that the Prophet hath leuelled at them all in this Psalme he saith De omnibus istis sequitur Deus meus pone eos vt retam c. Ioannes Vitalis who liued aboue 300. yeeres since and for his fame and learning was also called to bee a Cardinal ere that this dignity was yet at the highest pitch vehemently enceth this Psalme against the Great men that prey vpon the Church applying the interpretation of the names therein mentioned very bitterly vnto them And saith further that they possesse the Sanctuary of God by inheritance which enter into it vnworthily or in succession to their vnckles nephewes and parents and they also which giue Benefices in that manner wasting thereby as it were Christs hereditary patrimony with much more to this effect Speculo moral tit Principes saeculares fol. 229. d. Nicolaus de Lyra who flourished about the same time our owne country-man though of Iewish Parents a starre also in that age of the first magnitude for his learning and exquisit aboue all in the Hebrew it being his mother tongue and eleborate by him whose iudgemeÌ„t I the rather esteeme for that Luther loued him and preferred him aboue all Interpreters as Luther himselfe testifieth in the 2. and 9. chap. of Genesis He I say as before I haue noted expoundeth it first and properly for the Temple vnder which I vnderstand all things dedicated vnto God then for Ierusalem because saith he the Temple was there and lastly by consequence for that is his owne word for the Land of Iudea whose chiefe City Ierusalem was So that he maketh the Temple and things belonging to God to be the maine part whereat the Prophet aimeth and the City and Countrey to follow but by inference and implication Come to the later Writers Genebrard noteth vpon Sanctuarium dei that the Hebrew word is Habitacula and for the postill faith Generaliter de diuinis omnibus templis vrbibus locis oppidis populi dei So that if hee had been questioned further how he vnderstood Habitacula specialiter it is then like hee would haue answered de diuinis omnibus templis tantum that is onely of Churches But be it as it is he setteth them in the first place as the proper signification and the rest in consâ—quence as analogicall according to Augustine our Countrey-man Lyâ—anus As for Luther he expoundeth not this Psalme himselfe that I can finde but you see what hee attributeth to Lyras iudgement Pellican a great Hebritian translateth it Possideamus nobis alectissima dei and expoundeth it in like manner as before Templum ciuitatem vasa populum dei Pomeranus interpreteth it of them that did seeke to make themselues Lords and heires of the Temple To conclude because the newest thingâ— are most acceptable with many The last man that hath written vpon the Psalter Lorinus a Iesuit and therefore I will not presse his authority yet to doe him right very well esteemed amongst great Clarks of our owne Church for much good learning though in matters of controuersie full enough of Romish leuin reciteth some-what more briefly the former interpretations of Petrus Damianus Hugo Cardinalis and Iohn Vitalis and approuing those their applications putteth them still on into the world as truly consonant to the tenor of the Psalme which notwithstanding I doubt not hath also many other expositions as herbes haue vsually diuers vertues and operations But thus the eldest and newest expositors are wholly for mee many also of the best of theÌ„ of the middle ages none that I know against me For although Musculus Bucer Caluin Marlorat Mollerus expound this Psalme historically of the Countrey and Nation of the Iewes yet when then apply it to the Church of Christ as otherwise there were no vse of it they make that application by way of figure analogy And then is there no cause to raise an antithesis or contrariety betweene them and me For to reconcile the matter S. Ierome in his entrance into the exposition of this Psalme telleth vs that wee may expound it figuratiuely of the Church which I vnderstand in matters of action gouernement doctrine or historically of the people of the Iewes and nations about them And though Caluin himselfe pursueth for the most part the historicall interpretation yet when he commeth to the 12. verse he faith I terum accusat profanos homines sacrilegij quod praedateria licentia inuolant in ipsam dei haereditatem Thus much and too much touching this point As it is saide in the end of the Machabees If I haue done well and as the story required it is the thing that I desired but if I haue spoken slenderly and barely it is that I could

Sydon in the day of iudgement that sinned ignorantly how much harder will it bee with Corasin and Bethsaida that sin presumptuously Especially with Capernaum that despiseth her Lord God and Master Iesus Christ him selfe What is to despise him if to robbe him of his honor be not despise him Or what is to rob him of honour if to take from him the things giuen him for maintenance thereof bee not to rob him Therefore when the children of Israel withheld their tithes offerings from the Leuites hee crieth out in Malachy 3. 8. That himselfe was robbed and spoiled and was so highly offended therewith that hee cursed the whole Nation for it And to make this sin appeare the more monstrous he conuinceth the offenders therein not onely to bee violaters of his Legall ordinances but euen of the very lawe of Nature written in the heart of euery man For saith he Will any man spoile his gods As if hee should say Can such a man bee found as will or dares commit that sinne that all the Nations of the world euen by the instinct of nature account to bee so horrible and impious To spoile his gods what his owne gods Some were found that now and then aduentured to spoile the gods of other Nations yet not without punishment but fewe or none that I reade of till these latter daies that spoiled their owne gods in apparent and ouert manner as the Lawyers terme it I count it not ouert and apparant when we doe as Ananias and Saphira did pinch detract from God somewhat of that we vowed to giue Nor when we doe as the children of Israel heere did withhold that which wee ought to pay out of our own goods yet both these were heinous sinners and dreadfully punished But I call it ouert apparant when we throw our selues into a more dangerous sinne by inuading openly the deuotions of other men and taking that from God and from his Church as Athalia did which wee neuer gaue vnto it euen the lands and liuings thereof yea the Churches themselues 8 Doubtlesse we haue much to feare in this point For as it is a transcendent sinne so Dauid labouring to match it with a transcendent punishment bestoweth a whole Psalme viz. the 83. in inueying particularly against these kind of sinners such expresly as would take to themselues the houses of God in possession for that onely is the very center of the Psalme and therein do all the lines and proiections of the Prophets inuectiues incurre First hee maketh a flat opposition between God and them and therefore calleth them his enemies Then he describeth the nature of these kinde of enemies namely that they are murmuring enemies as grudging and enuying at the prosperity of the Church Malicious enemies as hating or hurting the seruice of God Proud enemies as lifting vp their heads against God ver 2. Craftie enemies as imagining how to beguile the Church Conspiring enemies as taking Counsell together against Gods secret ones as the Prophet calleth them that is Gods seruants Ministers ver 3. And lastly Confederate enemies as coÌ„bining them selues one by example of another to perseuere in their course of wronging and violating the Church vers 5. Yet for all this those against whom the Prophet thus enueigheth did not that they desired They discouered their malitious purpose by word of mouth saying Let vs take to our selues the houses of God in possession But they onely said it they did it not Their will was good but their power failed Our will and power haue both preuailed for wee haue got the houses of God into our possession His Churches his lands his offerings his holy rights We haue gotten them and led them away captiue bound in cheines of yron that is so conueied and assured vnto vs by Deed by Fine by Act of Parliament as if they neuer should returne again vnto the Church But heare what Dauid saith to those of his time Mark how he praieth for them Marke what strange and exquisite punishments he designeth to them and that in as many seuerall all sorts as there are seuerall branches in this kind of sinne First hee praieth that God would deale with them as hee did with the Madianites vers 9. That is that as Geaeon by Trumpets and Lampes strooke such a terrour in the night time into the hearts of the Madianites that the whole army fell into confusion drew their swords one vpon another were discomfited and 120 thousand of them slaine So that God by his trumpets the Preachers of his word by his Lamps which is the light of the Gospell would confound in like manner the enemies and spoilers of his Church that sleepe in the night of their sinne And that hee would make them like Oreb and Zeb like Zeba and Salmana verse 11. All which were strangely ouerthrowne died violent deaths and beeing glorious Princes of their nations became like the filthy lothsome Dung of the earth vers 10. And Iudges â— 25. and 8. 21. But doth the Prophet stay here no he goeth on with them O my God saith he make them like a wheele vers 13. that is wauering and vnstable in their actions so as they may neuer bring their purposes to an end Yea make them abiect and contemptible like the chaffe that the wind scattereth from the face of the earth vers 13. Well is hee now satisfied no. All this doth but whet his spirits to sharper imprecations He now desireth that the very floudgates of Gods wrath may be broken open vpon them and that the tempest of his indignation may rage at full against them now he crieth out to God to consume them without mercy yea and that in two terrible manners One naturally As the fire burneth vp the wood The other miraculously As the flame censumeth the mountaines vers 14. Persecute them euen so saith hee with thy tempest and make them afraid with thy storme Make their faces ashamed O Lord that they may seeke thy name Let them be confounded and vexed euer more and more let them bee put to shame and perish vers 15 16 17. How should the wit of man discouer and prosecute a sin in more vehement and horrible manner Or what shall make vs to abstaine from such haughty sinnes if all this preuaile not Well if to take the houses of God into possession bee thus take them that will for mee 9 You see how Dauid in this his sacred fury was admirably caried against this sinne Well therefore might hee say The zeale of thine house hath eaten me vp Psal. 69. 9. Yet he spake it not of himselfe alone but in the person also of our Sauiour Iesus Christ who in prosecution of Dauids zeale did that in this case that hee neuer did at any time else in all his life In all other cases he shewed himselfe like the Pascall Lambe that euery body did eat and deuourâ— at pleasure and like the sheep that was
