John Trapp on Isaiah 9:7

Ver. 7. Of the increaſe of his government there ſhall be no end] Here the Mem final in the middle of the word Lemarbeh hath occaſioned ſome to give many gueſſes at the reaſon of it: yea to conceit many myſteries, where wiſer men can find no ſuch matter. It is a good note which One giveth here, viz. that the more Chriſts government increaſeth in the ſoul, the more peace there is: See chap. 32.17. Pſal. 119.136.

To eſtabliſh it] Or, ſupport it, uphold it. [non-Latin text not transcribed] quaſi [non-Latin text not transcribed]. A King hath his name in Greek from being the foundation of the people. This King of Kings is only worthy of that name: he is not maintained and ſupported by us & our Subſidies; but we by him, and by the ſupplies of his Spirit, Philip. 1.19. All our ſprings are in him, Pſal. 87.7.

Non amat qui non zelat. The Zeal of the Lord of hoſts] i. e. the philanthropy, Tit. 3.4. and free grace of God. Dilexiſti me Domine magis quam te, ſaith a Father. Let us reciprocate by being zealous of good works, fervent in ſpirit, ſerving the Lord. And when Satan telleth us of our no merits, tell we him that the Zeal of the Lord of hoſts ſhall do it notwithſtanding.
