A brief commentary upon the CIII Psalme with the severall axiomes or doctrines therein conteined [sic], and uses thereupon inferred.

2 Doctrine. David mentions this as an argument of bles∣sing God.

So Psal. 99.* 1.1 where declaring this act of God vers. 4. he exhorts to this duty vers. 3, 5. And Psalm. 107. vers. 10, 13, 14, 15, 16. In like manner Moses and the Israe∣lites being freed from the Egyptian oppressi∣on, sing a song of thanksgiving Exod. 15. So Deborah and Barak Judg. 5.

The grounds or reasons hereof are in ge∣nerall the same,* 1.2 as in other benefits be∣fore mentioned vers. 3, 4, 5. Which there∣fore may in like manner be hereunto fitted and applyed.

Uses.

Here we learne 1 That we are not to re∣gard our selves alone,* 1.3 or to be sensible one∣ly of our own oppressions and deliverances; but to be alike affected in those which con∣cern others also: as David here gives thanks for Gods executing righteousnesse and judgement for all that are oppressed.

2 We may lawfully rejoice for Gods judgements upon oppressours. To rejoice for them out of malice, as they are hurtfull 〈2 pages missing〉〈2 pages missing〉

comes to be executed upon themselves for such as they have oppressed?

But let us imitate David.* 1.4
