the_o time_n come_v that_o the_o saint_n possess_v the_o kingdom_n and_o that_o those_o saint_n that_o have_v judgement_n give_v to_o they_o and_o that_o be_v say_v to_o sit_v in_o judgement_n that_o

to_o destroy_v it_o unto_o the_o end_n thus_o it_o be_v also_o evident_o the_o sense_n of_o these_o verse_n compare_v together_o that_o by_o the_o judgement_n sit_v be_v mean_v a_o certain_a number_n of_o saint_n that_o by_o the_o wisdom_n providence_n and_o power_n of_o the_o most_o high_a be_v convene_v together_o and_o invest_v with_o power_n and_o authority_n and_o a_o spirit_n of_o

shall_v in_o a_o most_o eminent_a manner_n be_v subject_v to_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o that_o he_o shall_v rule_v over_o king_n prince_n and_o judge_n which_o will_v not_o obey_v he_o with_o a_o rod_n of_o iron_n and_o break_v they_o in_o piece_n like_o a_o potter_n vessel_n if_o they_o cast_v not_o their_o crown_n at_o his_o foot_n and_o kiss_v he_o with_o the_o kiss_n of_o

they_o see_v preparation_n unto_o such_o a_o thing_n that_o their_o spirit_n shall_v be_v present_o enrage_v and_o they_o their_o king_n and_o ruler_n especial_o shall_v set_v their_o whole_a

his_o christ_n or_o anoint_v they_o say_v among_o themselves_o come_v let_v we_o break_v their_o bond_n and_o cast_v away_o their_o cord_n from_o we_o but_o alas_o poor_a worm_n what_o do_v they_o he_o that_o sit_v in_o the_o heaven_n shall_v laugh_v say_v the_o psalmist_n 6._o psalmist_n vers_fw-la 4_o 5_o 6._o the_o lord_n shall_v have_v they_o in_o derision_n yea_o he_o shall_v speak_v unto_o they_o in_o his_o wrath_n and_o vex_v they_o in_o his_o sore_a displeasure_n when_o they_o shall_v so_o do_v and_o notwithstanding_o he_o will_v set_v his_o king_n upon_o his_o holy_a hill_n of_o zion_n and_o shall_v give_v he_o the_o heathen_a for_o his_o inheritance_n and_o the_o uttermost_a part_n of_o the_o earth_n for_o his_o possession_n some_o of_o which_o be_v pertinacious_a and_o obstinate_a opposer_n he_o shall_v break_v with_o a_o rod_n of_o iron_n and_o dash_v they_o in_o piece_n like_o a_o potter_n vessel_n and_o therefore_o the_o spirit_n exhort_v all_o those_o king_n ruler_n and_o judge_n of_o the_o earth_n to_o be_v wise_a and_o receive_v this_o instruction_n even_o to_o kiss_v the_o son_n and_o and_o to_o serve_v the_o lord_n with_o fear_n and_o rejoice_v with_o tremble_v lest_o the_o son_n be_v angry_a and_o they_o perish_v in_o the_o way_n when_o his_o wrath_n be_v kindle_v but_o a_o little_a but_o for_o the_o comfort_n of_o other_o who_o long_v to_o see_v that_o day_n of_o the_o king_n the_o lord_n christ_n his_o exaltation_n he_o add_v bless_a be_v all_o they_o that_o wait_v for_o he_o thus_o this_o scripture_n full_o concurre_v with_o the_o present_a text_n in_o assert_v this_o thing_n that_o all_o the_o kingdom_n of_o the_o world_n shall_v be_v subject_v to_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o as_o it_o be_v say_v here_o that_o all_o dominion_n or_o as_o the_o word_n may_v be_v more_o right_o render_v all_o ruler_n must_v serve_v and_o obey_v he_o so_o the_o same_o be_v clear_o declare_v in_o this_o prophecy_n of_o the_o psalmist_n also_o the_o next_o scripture_n which_o i_o shall_v quote_v for_o the_o clear_n of_o this_o point_n shall_v be_v that_o in_o the_o 110_o psalm_n which_o be_v also_o very_o full_a to_o this_o purpose_n for_o there_o the_o psalmist_n speak_v of_o a_o time_n when_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n there_o style_v a_o priest_n for_o ever_o after_o the_o order_n of_o melchizedeck_v shall_v be_v set_v up_o and_o exalt_v above_o all_o the_o king_n and_o potentate_n of_o the_o world_n and_o when_o he_o shall_v rule_v in_o the_o midst_n of_o his_o enemy_n and_o shall_v have_v his_o enemy_n make_v his_o footstool_n and_o shall_v judge_v among_o the_o heathen_a and_o wound_v the_o heathen_a and_o wound_v the_o head_n over_o many_o country_n and_o fill_v they_o with_o the_o dead_a body_n and_o his_o people_n shall_v be_v willing_a in_o that_o day_n of_o his_o power_n so_o that_o hence_o it_o be_v clear_a also_o that_o there_o be_v a_o time_n come_v when_o jesus_n christ_n shall_v have_v the_o kingdom_n of_o the_o world_n subject_v to_o he_o and_o because_o it_o be_v and_o will_v be_v so_o that_o when_o he_o come_v thus_o to_o rule_v and_o reign_v that_o many_o people_n but_o especial_o the_o great_a one_o king_n prince_n ruler_n and_o head_n of_o kingdom_n shall_v endeavour_v to_o oppose_v the_o lord_n jesus_n in_o so_o do_v therefore_o it_o be_v say_v here_o that_o he_o shall_v

either_o invent_v or_o inflict_v have_v the_o meek_a the_o precious_a one_o of_o god_n undergo_v at_o the_o hand_n of_o their_o cruel_a rage_a enemy_n but_o here_o they_o have_v a_o promise_n that_o

that_o be_v do_v unto_o they_o and_o love_v their_o enemy_n and_o do_v good_a to_o they_o that_o hate_v they_o these_o thing_n may_v they_o do_v and_o yet_o ought_v they_o not_o to_o leave_v the_o

thus_o long_o to_o a_o suffer_a condition_n he_o never_o call_v his_o people_n to_o do_v justice_n upon_o their_o enemy_n as_o he_o do_v his_o people_n of_o old_a oftentimes_o under_o the_o law_n as_o
