Acts4:25

25 Who by the mouth of thy servant David hast said, Why did the heathen rage, and the people imagine vain things?

Through the Holy Ghost by the mouth of David; so 'tis read in many ancient copies; and shews, that what David and other holy men spake, was from the Holy Ghost, and is to be attended unto, and believed as spoken by him.

Servant or Son; Davids relation to God, is mentioned as a greater dignity than his being ruler over so great a people.

Shews the unreasonable fury wherewith the enemies of God persecute his people

without cause, but what themselves imagine or make, and in the event failing of their end; for all things work for the good of them that love God, Rom. 8.28. And the blood of Martyrs have been found to be the seed of the Church. These words are quoted out of Psal. 2.1.
