John Trapp on Psalms 147:10

Verſ. 10 Hee delighteth not in the ſtrength of [illegible: 1 word] horſe] Plutarch in Nu[illegible: 2 letters] ſaith the [illegible: 1 span] [non-Latin text not transcribed], God [illegible: 1 letter]areth [illegible: 1 word] for horſes, or any ſuch helps as wherein carnal people confide, as if they had no heed o[illegible: 1 letter] God. Ori[illegible: 3 letters] obſerveth that in the conqueſt or Canaan, the enemies had horſes and Char[illegible: 1 letter]ets, but Iſrael had none. And it is expreſly cautioned that the King of Iſrael ſhall not multiply horſes to himſelf, nor cauſe the people to return to Egypt, to the end that hee ſhould multiply horſes, Deut. 17.16. leaſt they ſhould occaſion him, or his people to trade with that Idolatrous people 1 King. 10.26.28. or to truſt in the number and ſtrength of that warlike creature, an horſe, Prov. 11.31.

Hee taketh not pleaſure in the legs of a man] How ſwift ſoever, as Achilles, [non-Latin text not transcribed], or Aſabel, as light of foot as a wilde Roe, 2 Sam. 2.18. None ſooner periſh in the waters, nor oftner, than thoſe that are moſt skilfull in ſwimming and diving; becauſe they do too much truſt to their skill[illegible: 1 letter] ſo tis here; for there is no out-running of divine vengeance. Nemo ſoelus gerit in p[illegible: 1 letter]ctore qui non idem Nemeſin in tergo; your ſin will finde you out. Here the [illegible: 1 word] is not to the ſ[illegible: 1 letter]ift, nor the battel to the ſtrong, Eccleſ. 9.11.
