THE PARAPHRASIS.

1 OTher fathers in deed are the lords of their children, but this sonne that is promised vnto me is my Lord, being verelie the eter∣nal God: & in that he is verie man also to be borne of my kindred, he shal be so highlie exalted of Ie∣houah, (which hath decreed this from al eternitie) that he shal sit at his right hand: that is to saie, that he shal haue rule and dominion ouer althings crea∣ted, without anie exception. Yet wil there not want manie, and those most mightie enimies, which wil resist this King, but al their enterprises shal be in vaine. For the Lord wil cast them downe, and tread them al vnder his feete, not one being excepted.

2 And Iehouah wil giue vnto him in Sion this kingdome of euerlasting stabilitie ouer al the ends of the earth: yea, as I haue said alreadie, which shal be extended euen to the verie right hand of God, of the which kingdome the power shal be so great, that the more enimies it hath, the more excellent and more euident shal it be.

3 And the people which willinglie and obedient∣ly offer themselues to be gouerned by him, after in∣finite victories had ouer the enimies, in the daie that the King, when he hath ouercome al his eni∣mies, shal muster al his armies to make a triumph, shal appeare before him also in garments of tri∣umph, which shal be holie, most pure, and most shi∣ning. Then, I saie, ô King, thou shalt behold the mul∣titude of thy most chosen young men, which the morning of that most heauenlie light hath brought forth vnto thee, by powring downe her most plen∣tiful dew vpon the earth.

4 And doe not maruel that I haue made menti∣on

of holie garments. For al things shal heere be most holie, and separate altogether from al impu∣ritie: for they shal be consecrate and made holie euen by him, that is both a mightie King, & a most holie Priest. For Iehouah hath appointed him to be a Priest also, & that with an inuiolable oth, & hath made him, not like Aaron and his posteritie, euen mortal men offering transitorie things, but an eter∣nal Priest, with a spiritual and most pure sacrifice, (to wit, himselfe) being once offered to reconcile his vnto God for euer, of the which eternal Priest, that great Melchisedech was a figure, as he is set foorth vnto vs by Moses.

5 Wherefore, thou holie assemblie, with what stormes soeuer thou be tossed, be void of care, tru∣sting vpon so great a King and Priest. For he wil al∣waie be present with thee, and wil destroie in his anger those kings that striue against thee, at the ve∣rie time and moment, which he hath most wiselie determined.

6 And hee wil bring into subiection vnto his kingdome the people far & wide, sauing his owne, and making an horrible slaughter of the rebels euerie where, and he wil ouerthrowe that monarch that ruleth so far and wide.

7 Yet shal he himselfe drinke also of the brooke before these triumphs, and shal suffer al the mise∣ries of the most greeuous battel, wherewith he may seeme to be swallowed and drowned: but it is so far off that he should hereby suffer anie detriment, that contrariwise by this same meanes, he shal lift vp his head most high, crowned with euerlasting glorie.
