John Trapp on Psalms 44:12

Verſ. 12. Thou ſelleſt thy people for nonght] Thirty for a penny the Jones were ſold by the Romans, ſaith Joſephus, at the laſt devaſtation.

And doſt not increaſe thy wealth by their price] Thou takeſt thy firſt Chapman (as the Pope gave England, in Hen. 8. his time, Primo occupaturo, to him that could firſt ſeize it) and haſt not made thy beſt of them; but given them away, for whom thou waſt wont to give great Nations, Iſa. 43.3. All the comfort in this caſe was, that yet they were dear to God as his Sons, though ſold for ſlaves to the eneſnies, as may be ſeen Iſa. 50 1. & 52.3.
