Psalms118:10

Verſ. 10. All Nations compaſſed me about] This is ſtill the condition of Chriſts Church in this evil world, to be hated of all, and ſet againſt with utmoſt might and malice. Haud perinde crimine incendii quam odio humani generis convicti ſunt, ſaith Tacitus of thoſe Chriſtians at Rome put to cruel deaths by Nero, who having for his pleaſure fired the City fathered it upon them, as people hated of all men.

But in the name of the Lord] i.e. by faith in Gods power and promiſes. Wee might alſo do great exploits againſt our Spiritual enemies, did we but ſet upon them with Gods arms, and with his armour; did we but obſerve the Apoſtles rule, Whatſoever yee do in word, or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jeſus, &c. Col. 3.17.
