Psalms45:7
Verſ. 7.Haec verè heroica eſt nemeſis. Thou loveſt right eouſneſs; and hateſt wickedneſs] Salomon did ſo for a great while (may Nero's firſt five years were ſuch, that Trajan was wont to ſay, that none ever attained to the perfection of them) but Chriſt continually; neither can hee do otherwiſe. See Matth. 3.10, 11, 12. Joh. 5.30. Matth. 12.18, 19, 20.
Therefore God thy God hath anoynted] i.e. For which purpoſe God hath anoynted thee his Meſſiah, or Chriſt, Pſal. 2.2.
With the oyl of gladneſs] Quia totus mundus in unctione Chriſti & ejus miſſione letabitur, ſaith Kimchi; ſo called, becauſe the whole World ſhould bee cheared up by the Unction and Miſlion of Meſſiah; he received the Spirit without meaſure, that of his fulneſs we might all receive and grace for grace, righteouſneſs and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghoſt.
Above thy fellows] i.e. Exreliquorum regum numero eximendus, above all earthly Potentates;Beza. the beſt whereof (as David, [illegible: 1 letter]o ſish) had their faults, and flaws; or rather above thy Saints, thy fellow-brethren by grace, and Co-heirs of glory; they have Plenitudinem V aſis, but thou, Fontis; neither only art thou anointed Pre conſortibus, above thy fellows, but Pro conſortibus, for thoſe thy fellows, as ſome render it,Dioſcor. l. 1. c. 67. & l. 3. c. 82: & lib: l. 12 Lib. 1. Antidot. and it is very comfortable.
