Psalms68:14
Verſ. 14. When the Almighty ſcattered Kings in it] i.e. In the wilderneſs as they paſſed; or in Canaan which they poſſeſſed, according to verſ. 1. Or, ſcattered Kings for her, that is, for his Church, or for her that tarried at home, verſ. 12. a periphraſis of the Church, in the times of primitive perſecution eſpecially, till the Almighty ſcattered thoſe perſecuting Princes. Some of the Jew-Doctors underſtand it of Gog and Magog.
It was white as ſnow in Salmon] Or, She was white as ſnow in Salmon; not only as the wings of a Dove, but glorious and glittering as ſnow on that high hill, Judg. 9.47, 48. At the top of the Alpes nothing is to bee ſeen but ſnow, which hath lain there beyond the memory of man, and as ſome ſay, ever ſince the flood. The ſame may be as true of Salmon, which ſome here take for a Noun ſubſtantive common, and render its albe ſees in [illegible: 2 letters]ligine, thou ſhalt wax white in darkneſſe. The old Emperour Andronicus lighting upon this verſe in his Pſalter, and applying it to himſelf,Turk. hiſt. fol. 164. was much ſetled and ſastisfied concerning his troubles.
