Matthew Poole and continuators on Luke 1:49

49 For he that is mighty hath done to me great things and holy is his name.

That which is observable both in this Verse, and in this whole Song, is how the blessed Virgin, attributes all to God, and ascribeth nothing to her self, or any merits of her own, much like unto her Father David Psal. 115.1. Not unto us, O Lord, not unto us, but unto thy name give Glory, for thy Mercy, and truths sake, and herein she teacheth those Generations, which she had even now said should call her Blessed, how to take notice of her, viz. as one highly favoured of the Lord, one for whom God indeed had done great things, but not as one who had merited any thing at Gods hand, much less as one to whom we should pay a greater Devotion, then to her Son, and speak to her that she should command her Son, (according to the blasphemous devotion, and Idolatry of the Papists, Mary is very careful of giving succeeding Generations any occosion from her expressions for any such Superstitions. And holy is his Name. Holy, that is glorious, and venerable, [his name] that is, he himself is Glorious, and Holy, far above the Conception and Comprehension of poor Creatures.
