Zechariah14:21

Verſe 21. Yea, every pot in Ieruſalem &c.] That is, ſaith Danaeus, God ſhall as God-like be worſhiped of every faithfull perſon in his own houſe, as he was of old in his Temple by the Jews. Calvin adds, ut quicquid aggrediantur homines ſit ſacrificium, ſo that whatſoever good men enterprize, ſhall be a ſacrifice. God ſhall ſmell a ſavour of reſt from them, they of life and peace from him.

there ſhall be no more the Canaanite] The merchant, ſaith the vulgar after Aquila, and the Chaldee; that is, the Simoniack, the Church-chopper, ſuch monymerchants as Chriſt whipt out of the Temple Mat. 21.12. Ioh. 2.15. But better render it Canaanite, The Phenicians thoſe great merchants were Canaanites. who were indeed great Merchants Hoſ. 12.7. Ezek. 17.4. but here it ſtands for a wicked man, an hypocrite, that botch of Chriſtian ſociety. Pura erit Eccleſia ab omnibus inquinamentis, ſaith Calvin: the Church ſhall be purged of all ſuch Peſts. See Rev. 22.27. no ſuch owles ſhall be ſeen flying in the Churches welkin. God will, by the due exerciſe of diſcipline, and otherwiſe, be daily purging out all ſcandals, as ſuch men are called Mat. 13.41. and cauſing the unclean ſpirit to paſſe out of the land Zach. 13.2. I conclude with Theodoret, Dominus Omnipotens hanc vocem veram eſſe hoc tempore praeſtet &c. God Almighty make good this promiſe unto us at this time: that there may be no curſed Canaanite found amongſt us; but that we may all live according to the doctrine of the Goſpell, and expect that bleſſed hope and comming of the great God our Saviour Jeſus; to whom with the Father and holy Spirit be glory for ever. Amen.
