John Trapp on Psalms 2:3

Verſ. 3. Let us break their bands aſunder, &c.) Here theſe Rebels are brought in, proclaming their treaſonable Decrees againſt Chriſt, and his adherents, who ſeek to promote his Kingdom. Reſolved they were to run riot, as lawleſs and awleſs, and therefore they ſlander the ſweet Laws of Chriſts Kingdom, as bonds and thick cords (thoſe ſigns of ſlavery, Jer. 27.2, 6, 7.) as burdens, and grievances.Melch. Adam in vit. Bucer. So the Popiſh Clergy of Collen told their good Arch-Biſhop Albert (who had made uſe of Bucer and Melancthon to bring things into better order) that they had rather live under the Turkiſh Government, than under ſuch a Reformation. But what ſaith our Saviour? My yoke is eaſie, and my burthen light: No more burthen it is to a regenerate perſon, than the wings are to the Bird. He delighteth in the Law of God after the inward man, Rom. 7. It is not to him now, as once, bands and cords, but as Girdles and Garters, which gird up his loyns, and expedite his courſe the better. It confineth him to live in that element where he would live; as if one ſhould be confined to Paradiſe, where he would be, though there were no ſuch Law.
