Yet lest he should seeme like a Sparrow alone on the house top I will shew you the opinion of others in the after ages Petrus Damianus a Cardinall whilest that title was rather a name of Ministry then of Dignity and long before it became mounted and purpurate a starre of his time now almost 600. yeers old understandeth this Psalme also of Church possessions and dignities and out of it doth vehemently confute the Chaplaines of Duke Gothifred which held it no simony to buy Bishopricks and Priests places so they paid nothing for the imposition of hands an opinion too common at this day and he applieth against them the interpretation of the names of the Heathen Princes there mentioned and concludeth them to be haereditario quodam jure Sanctuarii possessores as you may see in his Specula Mor. l. 5.

Joannes Vitalis who lived above 300. yeares since and for his fame and learning was also called to be a Cardinal ere that this dignity was yet at the highest pitch vehemently enforceth this Psalme against the great men that prey upon the Church applying the interpretation of the names therein mentioned very bitterly unto them And saith further that they possesse the Sanctuary of God by inheritance which enter into it unworthlly or in succession to their unckles nephews and parents and they also which give Benefices in that manner wasting thereby as it were Christs hereditary patrimony with much more to this effect Speculo morale tit Principes saeculares fol. 229. d. Nicolaus de Lyra who flourished about the same time our own country-man though of Jewish Parents a starre also in that age of the first magnitude for his learning and exquisit above all in the Hebrew it being his mother tongue and elaborate by him whose judgement I the rather esteeme for that Luther loved him and preferred him above all interpreters as Luther himselfe testifieth in the 2 and 9 chap. of Genests He I say as before I have noted expoundeth it first and properly for the Temple under which I understand all things dedicated unto God then for Jerusalem because saith he the Temple was there and lastly by consequence for that is his owne word for the Land of Judaea whose cheife City Jerusalem 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 inferance and implication Come to the later Writers Genebrard noteth upon Sanctuarium Dei that the Hebrew word is Habitacula and for the postill saith Generaliter de divinis omnibus templis urbibus locis oppidis populi Dei So that if he had beene questioned further how he understood Habitacula specialiter it is then like he would have answered de divinis omnibus templis tantùm that is only of Churches But be it as it is he setteth them in the first place as the proper signification and the rest in consequence as analogicall according to Augustine and our Country-man Lyranus As for Luther he expoundeth not this Psalme himselfe that I can finde but you see what he attributeth to Lyra's judgement Pellican a great Hebritian translateth it Possideamus nobis electissima Dei and expoundeth it in like manner as before Templum eivitatem vasa populum Dei Pomeranus interpreteth it of them that did seeke to make themselves Lords and heires of the Temple To conclude because the newest things are most acceptable with many The last man that hath written upon the Psalter Lorinus a Jesuit and therefore I will not presse his authority yet to doe him right very well esteemed amongst great Clerkes of our owne Church for much good learning though in matters of controversie full enough of Romish leaven reciteth somewhat more breifly the former interpretations of Petrus Damianus Hugo Cardinalis and John Vitalis and approving 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 have usually divers virtues and operations But thus the eldest and newest expositors are wholly for me many also and of the best of them of the middle ages none that I know against me For although Musculus Bucer Calvin Marlorat Mollerus expoundeth this Psalme historically of the Countrey and Nation of the Jewes yet when they apply it to the Church of Christ as otherwise there were no use of it they make that application by way of figure and analogy And then is there no cause to raise an antithesis or contrariety betweene them and me For to reconcile the matter Saint Jerome in his entrance into the exposition of this Psalme telleth us that we may expound it figuratively of the Church which I understand in matters of action gouernment doctrine or historically of the people of the Jewes and nations about them And though Calvin himselfe pursueth for the most part the historicall interpretation yet when he commeth to the 12. verse he saith Iterum accusat profanos homines sacrilegij quòd praedatoriâ licentiâ involant in ipsam Dei haereditatem Thus much and too much touching this point As it is said in the end of the Macchabees If I have done well and as the story required it is the thing that I desired but if I have spoken slenderly and barely it is that I could Let no man therefore rely upon me but learne of them that are bound to teach For the Preists lips should preserve knowledge and they should seeke the law at his mouth for he is the messenger of the Lord of Hosts Mal. 2.7 Other things there be wherein I would willingly have enlarged my selfe a little but as Papilius in Livy describing a circle about Antiochus enforced him to answere before he stept out of it So the Printer having printed all to the last Sheet before I knew it restraineth me ad articulum temporis within which accordingly I must needs end FINIS
