Psalms68:6
Verſ. 6. God ſetteth the ſolitary in families] i.e. He bleſſeth them with Iſſue. See Pſal. 113.9. and ſo he doth the Church, Iſa. 54. It in theſe dayes of the Goſpel eſpecially.
He bringeth out thoſe which are bonnd in th[illegible: 1 letter]ing] As he did Peter, Act 12. Paul and Silas, Act. 16. Some read it thus, He bringeth out thoſe which are bound, in accomoditates, into places where they may live commodiouſly and chearfully. As on the other ſide,
The rebellions dwell in a dry land] In le[illegible: 2 letters]s torridis, arridis, exſucis & [illegible: 1 span], in [illegible: 1 word] and deſert Countries, where they are deſtitute of Gods bleſſing and his ſoul-refreſhing comforts. The Hebrew word ſignifieth a bleak or white ſoil, ſuch as is all Egypt where the Nile arriveth not, viz. a whitiſh ſand, bearing no graſs but two little weeds, of which they make glaſs. Where the river w[illegible: 3 letters]reth is a black mould, ſo fruitfull, ſay travailers, as they do but throw in the ſeed; and have four rich harveſts in leſſe than four months. Hence Egypt is called The World Gra[illegible: 3 letters]y.
