Psalms9:20
Verſ. 20. Put them in fear O Lord] ſtrike them with a panick terrour, as once the Canaanites, Philistines, 2 Sam. 5. Syrians, 2 King. 7. Germans, in the War againſt the Huſſites, &c. Some read it, Put a Law upon them, bridle them, bound them as thou haſt done the Sea, Job 38.11. The Greek and Syriack favour this reading.
That the Nations may know themſelves to be but men] And not gods, as that proud Prince of Tyrus, Ezek. 27. and Antiochus, who would needs be ſtiled [non-Latin text not transcribed], to ſuch an height of pride will Perſecutors grow, if they proſper, and be not taken a link lower, as we ſay. Home, id eſt fracti, ſaith R. Obad. on this Text; Men, that is, broken crackt-creatures, Morbis morti que obnoxii, woful weights, ſorry and ſickly Caitives. This to know ſavingly, is the beginning of true Humility, ſaith Auguſtine here.
