John Trapp on Psalms 49:11

Verſ. 11. Their inward thought is, that their houſes, &c.] Some joyn this verſe to the former, and read the words thus; Where as each of them ſeeth that wiſe men dye, likewiſe the fool, &c. yet their inward thought is, &c. they have a ſecret fond conceit of their own immortality, they would fain beleeve that they ſhall dwell here for ever. The Hebrew runneth thus, Their inwards are their houſes for ever; as if their houſes were got within them, as the Phariſees goods were, Luke 11.14. [non-Latin text not transcribed]. So here, Internum vel interiora; not the thoughts only, but the very inmoſt of the thoughts of wicked Worldlings, the moſt retired thoughts and receſſes of their ſouls are about theſe earthly things: theſe lye neareſt to their hearts; as Queen Mary ſaid when ſhe dyed, Open me, and you ſhall find Calice at my heart. It was a pittiful caſe, that a rotten town lay where Chriſt ſhould, and yet it is ordinary.

They call their Lands after their own names] So to make them famous and to immortalize them at once. Thus Cain called his new-built City, Enoch, after the name of his Son, whom he would thereby have to be called Lord Enoch of Enoch. This is the ambition ſtill of many, that take little care to know that their names are written in Heaven; but ſtrive to propagate them, as they are able, upon Earth, Nimrod by his Tower, Abſolom by his Pillar, Alexander by his Alexandria, Adrian by his Adrianople, &c. But the name of the wicked ſhall rot, Prov. 10.7. and thoſe that depart from God ſhall be written in the earth, Jer. 17.13, &c.
