John Trapp on Job 15:19

Verſe 19.Merlin. Bold. To whom alone the earth was given] Noah and his pious poſterity (as was above noted) whom Methodins and other Ancients call, Misudi chiliarchas, the Lords of the whole word, given them by the Poſſ[illegible: 1 letter]ſſor of heaven and earth, as Melchiſedech firſt calleth God,Gen. 23. Gen. 14. and from him Abraham another Prince of God; as thoſe Heathens acknowledged him, and heir of the whole world, Rom. 4. As for Melchiſedec (commonly taken to be Sem) he was King in Salem and no ſtranger, that is, no enemy moleſted him; no not thoſe great ſpoilers. Kedarlaomer and his Complices; theſe never medled with Melchiſeaec and his ſubjects (probably out of reſpect to his wiſdome and holineſſe, for which he was famous) no not when marching againſt the Kings of Sodom and Gomorrah, they waſted and ſmot all the neighbour Countries. So true of his ſubjects and territories was that which followeth here.

And no ſtranger paſſed among them] viz. in an hoſtile way, in a warlike manner, Nah. 1.15. Some read, No ſtrangs thing paſſed among them; As not the devouring ſword, ſo neither the peſtilence that walketh in darkneſſe, nor the deſtruction that waſteth at noon day, Pſal 91.6. Such as was the raigne of Ferdinando the third, King of Spain for five and thirty yeares ſpace. In quibus nee fames nec peſtes fuit in regno ſaith L[illegible: 1 letter]piz, Gloſſ in Prolog. par. 1. wherein there fell out neither Famine not Peſtilence.
