John Trapp on Psalms 118:20

Verſ. 20 This gate of the Lord] Some make the former verſe the requeſt of the people, and this to bee Gods anſwer thereunto. Others make that to bee Davids ſpeech to the [illegible: 1 word], and this their anſwer, q.d. This beautifull gate is fit to bee opened to the Lord alone: if others enter, they muſt bee righteous ones only, and that to praiſe him.

[illegible: 1 word] which the Righteous ſhall [illegible: 1 word] ] ſcil. With Gods good leave and liking. Others may haply thruſt into the Church, but then God will ſay, Friend how cameſt thou in hither? who required theſe things at your hands? who ſent for you? O Generation of Vipers who hath forewarned you to flye from the wrath to come? The Sacrifice of the wicked is abomination: how much more when hee bringeth it with a wicked mind? Prov. 21.27.
