between_o judas_n and_o the_o pharisee_o but_o this_o be_v not_o the_o concord_n which_o the_o psalm_n here_o speak_v of_o but_o the_o psalm_n commend_v that_o concord_n which_o be_v amongst_o those_o that_o have_v the_o pure_a and_o sincere_a word_n therefore_o the_o prophet_n here_o use_v a_o similitude_n which_o only_o pertain_v to_o aaron_n name_v to_o be_v you_o high_a priest_n by_o god_n

seem_v to_o fall_v from_o the_o high_a mountain_n unto_o the_o hill_n which_o be_v under_o they_o therefore_o he_o say_v that_o the_o dew_n descend_v from_o hermon_n unto_o the_o mount_n zion_n because_o it_o so_o seem_v unto_o those_o that_o do_v behold_v it_o a_o far_o of_o and_o this_o clause_n after_o my_o judgement_n pertain_v to_o civil_a concord_n like_a as_o the_o former_a

fresh_a and_o flourish_v through_o the_o morning_n dew_n the_o beginning_n of_o this_o peace_n come_v from_o the_o prince_n &_o magistrate_n as_o from_o mount_n hermon_n â–ª_o from_o who_o it_o flow_v

this_o be_v therefore_o a_o singular_a promise_n and_o consolation_n that_o the_o church_n and_o the_o word_n shall_v endure_v to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n not_o by_o the_o counsel_n or_o

that_o be_v to_o say_v of_o victory_n which_o be_v obtain_v by_o the_o pure_a word_n and_o holy_a ministry_n the_o second_o part_n of_o this_o promise_n be_v that_o he_o will_v give_v success_n and_o
