John Trapp on Psalms 24:6

Verſ. 6. This is the generation of them that ſeek him] Theſe are the true Seekers, farre different from thoſe that now-adayes ſo ſtile themſelves; being no better indeed than the Jeſuites by-blowes, as one wittily calleth them,M. Baxſto[illegible: 1 letter] though they are not yet ſo wiſe as to know their own Father. Theſe are a generation too, but an evil and adulterous, one in theſe laſt and looſeſt times of abounding and abetted Errours.

That ſeek thy face] i. e. Thy favour, that deſire nothing more than to bee in communion with thee and conformity unto thee.

O Jacob] Or, O God of Jacob: As the Church is called Chriſt, 1 Cor. 12.12. So God is here called Jacob; ſuch a neer union there is betwixt him and his people. Or, this is Jacob. So the true Seekers are fitly called, firſt, becauſe Iſraelites indeed, Joh. 1.47. Rom. 9.6. ſecondly, becauſe they ſee God face to face, as Jacob did at Penuel, Gen. 32.24, 26, 29, 30. thirdly, becauſe they alſo, as hee,Adjicitur Sel[illegible: 1 letter] ut often da[illegible: 3 letters] quantoperè haec ſentent ſit conſider[illegible: 2 letters] da. do bear away a bleſſing, Hoſ. 12.4. even Righteouſneſſe from the God of their ſalvation, as in the verſe aforegoing.
