John Trapp on Psalms 45:6

Verſ. 6. Thy throne, O God] Here the Prophet directe[illegible: 1 letter]h his ſpeech not to Solomon (who never took upon him the name of God, as did Soſoſtris King of Aegypt, Antiochus, [non-Latin text not transcribed] Caligula, and ſome other proud Princes) but to Chriſt, Heb. 1.8. who is God, bleſſed for ever, [non-Latin text not transcribed], not ſo called by an excellency only, as the Angels are, Pſal. 8.9. with Heb, 2. not by Office and Title only, as Magiſtrates are gods[illegible: 1 letter] Pſ. 82.16. nor Catachreſtically and Ironically ſo called, as the Heathen gods, nor a diminutive god, inferiour to the Father, as Arrius held, but God by nature, every way Co-eſſential, Co-eternal, and Co-equal with the Father, and the Holy Choſt, Joh. 1.1. Phil. 2.6. 1 Joh. 5.20. Hold this laſt; for it is the Rock, Mat. 16.16. it is of the very foundation: ſo that if we beleeve it not, there is no heaven to be had, 1 Joh. 5.20. As for his Kingly Office here deſcribed, it belongeth to him as Mediator, and what is here ſpoken of him is to be underſtood of his whole perſon; for ſo is he Head of the Church, and King of Iſrael, for ever.

The ſcepter of thy Kingdom, &c.] Thy government is not with rigour, but with righteouſneſs, thou cameſt rightly by it, caſting out Satan the Uſurper, Mat. 12.29. Heb. 2.14. and doſt moſt righteouſly adminiſter it, Deut. 4.8.
