Psalms125:5

Verſ. 5 As for ſuch as turn aſide by their crooked wayes] In lubricitates vel tortuoſitates, ſuch as pretend piety to their wordly and wicked deſignes and dealings; diſſemblers, warpers, verſuti & vafri, who would couzen God of Heaven if they could tell how.

The Lord ſhall lead them forth] Quantumvis reluctantes, as cattel led to the ſlaughter; or malefactors to execution. Transfug as arboribus ſuſpendunt, they hand up fugitives, ſaith Tacitus, concerning the Germans; there is martiall law for ſuch, Heb. 10.38, 39. as there is for skellums amongſt us.

With the workers of iniquity] They ſhall to Hell with the reſt of the wicked crue, notwithſtanding their profeſſions and pretences of piety, whereunto they are perfect ſtrangers; Hypocrites are the free-holders of Hell; and other evill perſons are, as it were, Tenants to them; ſhall have their part with them, Mat. 24.51.

But peace ſhall bee upon Iſrael] Peace ſhall bee upon them and mercy, Gal. 6.16. The remnant of Iſrael ſhall not do iniquity, nor ſpeak lyes, neither ſhall a deceitfull Tongue bee found in their mouth; for they ſhall feed and lye down, and none ſhall make them afraid, Zeph. 3.12.
