Psalms45:4
Verſ. 4. And in thy Majeſty ride proſperouſly] Heb. Proſper thou, ride thou upon the Word of truth, of meekneſſe and of Righteouſneſſe. q. d. Ride thou in thy triumphant Charret, as it were drawn by thoſe three glorious graces, Truth, Meekneſſe, and Righteouſneſſe; and governed by the Word, as by the Charter-man; Cui diviniſſim a allegorie explicand a pro rei gravisate ac dignitate integro volumine opus eſſet, ſaith B[illegible: 1 letter]za, For the explaining of which moſt divine allegory, according to the worth of it, a whole volume might well be full written. The Kings of the earth for moſt part have their Charrets drawn by other horſes, viz. Pride, Ambition, Cruelty, &c. as Seſoſtres King of Egypt, Qui Pharios currus regum cervicibus egit.
And thy right hand ſhall teach thee terrible things] i. e. Shall inable thee to perform them. Chriſt riding on his white horſe (his Apoſtles and Preachers) went forth conquering, and to conquer, Rev. 6.2. Salomon was no ſuch ſword-man as was Jeſus Chriſt.
