John Trapp on Isaiah 7:9

Ver. 9. And the head of Samariah, Remaliah's ſon] In contempt he hath neither his Name nor Title of a King given him, but is fairly warned to keep within his bounds: he is not like to hold long that he hath. It is dangerous medling with Jeruſalem, Zech. 12.2, 3, 6.

Valde brevis ſententia eſt, ſed gravis admodum. Oecolamp. If ye will not believe, ſurely ye ſhall not be eſtabliſhed] Jehoſaphat ſaid as much, 2 Chron. 20.20. and our Saviour ſomewhat like, John 8.20. Iſaiah ſaw the King and people ſtill fluctuating and trembling, notwithſtanding the divine Promiſe: and telleth them what to truſt to; unleſs they will truſt in God, they will never be ſoundly ſettled: Faith quelleth and killeth diſtruſtful fear, and maketh a man walk about the world like a Conquerour. There is an Elegancy here in the Original that cannot be Engliſhed.
