most liuely blessednesse But the Gretians doe reade this verse thus The dwelling in thee is as it were of all them that doe reioyce The Prophet Dauid héere speaketh of a Spirituall Joy which true beleeuers onely in Christe doe possesse Concerning which S. Peter in 1. Epist Chapt. 1 saith Whom yee haue not seene and yet loue him in whom nowe though yee see him not yet do you beleeue and reioyce with ioy vnspeakable and glorious ver 8 Receiuing the end of your faith euen the saluation of your soules vers 9. True ioy cannot be but where the sorowfull person is deliuered from all euils The greatest mischiefes are to be cast away from god to remaine in sinne to suffer the tyranny of death and to bee reserued to eternall damnation For al the euils of this world being compared to these horrible and eternall euils are euen scracely shadowes of Euils But true deliuerance from vndoubted and greatest Euils may no where else be found but in SION as it is said by the Prophet Ioel. 2. Chap. Euery one which shall call vpon the name of the Lord shal shall bee saued For in Mount Sion and Ierusalem shalbe deliuerance as the Lord hath said and in the remnant whom the Lord shall call vers 32. No where else then but in the Church the true SION can there bee true ioye Wherefore the dwelling or habitation of al them which truely reioyce by reason their sins are forgiuen thē through Christ and saluation by him restored vnto them is in SION alone They that are with out Sion are in their sinnes therfore they are the bondslaues of death and the deuil When as therefore they lye in most gréeuous eternall paines enthralled what place of true ioy may be ther yea though they fully wholly possesse in the meane time euen al the pleasures of this world Marke also that he saith Of all them that reioyce is to vnderstand not onelie that the Iewes but also the Gentiles are to bee admitted to the true Joy of SION by the promise of God which thing the Scripture euery where witnesseth In y e 46. Psal The Gentiles are called by name vnto this heauenly ioye O clappe your hands together all yee people O sing vnto God with the voyce of melody Hee is the great King ouer all the earth vers 1. 2. And Paul in 15. Rom. Praise the lord all ye Gentiles and laud yee him all people together vers 11. And the Prophet Esay Chap. 11. The Gentiles shall put their trust in him according to the translation of the 70. Interpreters And this Prophet Dauid singeth in his 63. Psalm The righteous shal reioyce in the Lord put his trust in him and all they that are true of heart shalbe glad vers 10. Beholde he saith not the lewe onely shall reioyce in the Lord but the iust is no man iust then but the Iew Aske of Paul who in Rom. 3. teacheth That the Iew is not iustified by the workes of the Lawe but by faith in Christ the righteous and onely iustifier And by and by hee after that saieth Is hee the God of the Iewes onely Is hee not also the God of the Gentiles verses 29 30. Yes of the Gentiles is he also God which iustifieth Circumcision by faith and vncircumfition through faith And in the 9. Rom. ver 30. he saith What shal wee say then That the Gentiles which followed not righteousnes haue attained vnto righteousnes euen the righteousnes which is of faith Heere the Scripture openly teacheth so farre as vnto iustification pertaineth that there is no difference betweene the Iew and the Gentile all haue sinned and haue neede of the glory of God but by the alone grace of Christ they are iustified And as S. Peter in Acts 15. confesseth god so much as to iustification belongeth made no difference betweene the Iewes and the Gentiles vers 9. If hee made no difference betwéene them if he also iustifie the Gentiles by faith in Christ euen then againe shall the Gentiles be founde iust by Christ If they be iust then also do they reioyce in the Lorde they reioyce in SION They haue aswel their dwelling place as the Iewes the flesh of Abraham haue in SION out of which citie no man is excluded but by that incredulitie which with the vnfaithfull Iewes he reiecteth because they embraced not Iesus Christ the king of SION Whome the Father himselfe as Dauid saith appointed ruler ouer Syon his holy hill And placed him as the head of the Gentiles Therefore the dwelling place of all which truely reioyce that is to say of Christians is in SION namely the Church of Christe concerning which ioy of y ● Christians the Prophet Esay thus Prophecyeth in the 51. Chapiter Ioye and gladnesse shal be founde in SION thanksgiuing the voice of praise ver 3. And the redeemed of the Lorde shall returne and come with ioy vnto Sion and ●uerlasting ioy shall be vpon their heades they shall obtaine ioy and gladnesse and sorrow and mourning shal flee away ver 11. I euen I am he that comfort you Who art thou that thou shouldest feare a mortall man and the son of man which shall be as withered grasse ver 12.

Peter saith with inward ioy they looke for that blessed hope and appearance of the glorie of the great God and our Sauiour Iesus Christ in the day of our ful redemption But in the meane time they wéepe lament in this world Contrariwise the world reioyceth and is glad And as Christ saith in the worlde they Finde affliction but in themselues peace through Christ the ouercommer of the worlde For if a man beholde the Church according to her outward shewe shée shall not beséeme

Dauid therefore saith Her foundations vnderstand of the Citty which I loue with most earnest minde wherein but vnknowne to me I am yet made safe or preserued by hope wherein for euer the Sauiour of the world so vouchsafeing I shall still remaine are in the hill of Holinesse for so saith the Iewe we shoulde say in the holy Hilles Citties of this mortall life bee they fenced or defended with how strong so euer muniments or Bulwarkes are yet not withstanding builded vpon the sand For whatsoeuer mans hand buildeth the same can it also cast downe Therefore Citizens of earthly Citties cannot dwell in sufficient safetie all their Ritches yea life and finally whatsoeuer they haue are laid open to their enemies Wherefore we rightly then say that no earthly Cittie hath her foundation in the Hilles For although no enemies assault the same yet time is the consumer of thinges and corruption at length wasteth those thinges which haue bene in this world most strong but the foundations of this Cittie are sound firme and perpetuall because they are in the Hilles What then are not earthly Citties also in the hilles is the Citty safe which is scituate on the hilles Why then saith the Lord by his Prophet Abdias To the Hilles of Seyr and the dwellers thereon The pride of thy heart puffed thee vp because thon dwelst in the clefts of the Rockes whose habitation is hie tho● sayest in thine hart who shall bring me vnto the ground The Lord maketh answere to the bragging of the Edomites If thou exalt thy selfe as the Eagle and make thy nest among the starres thence will I bring thee downe saith the Lord And surelye though Ierusalem were in the olde time builded in the mount Sion and the little hilles yet notwithstanding it was easie to be assaulted and beaten downe of their enemies the Chaldeans and the Romans All earthly buildings be they neuer so strong and stablished in the hilles and Rockes are yet builded vpon the sand Because they shal in time fal to y ● groūd and perish Wherefore the Prophet here speaketh of other hilles as the Hebrue ●oun declareth which signifieth holines Therefore those foundations are in the hilles of holinesse that is not in earthlie hils but in the Heauens For y ● foūdatiō which this citty hath Is that immouable Rocke Mat. 16. whereupon the Church is builded and standes to the vtmost against the gates of hell Whereof the Apostle mentioneth No man can lay any other foundation then that which is laid euen Christ Iesus 1 Cor 3. Wherfore the Apostle when he speaketh of that blessed Cittie sheweth openly this foundation and saieth Those Cittizens that is Chistians are builded vpon that foundation of the Apostles and Prophets Christ Iesus himselfe being the Head corner stone in whom what building soeuer is coupled together groweth vnto àn holy Temple in the Lord In whome ye also are built together to be the Habitation of God by the Spirite The Cittie is holye firme and eternal it hath Cittizens euē the holy ones as the Apostle euery where calleth them For although they be sinners born yet in that Cittie they are regenerate of water of the spirite yea They are iustified by faith and sanctified by the name of Iesus and by the spirite of our God And all things which are without this Cittie are prophane and abhominable before God In this Cittie onely is true holinesse as the Phophete Abdias saieth vers 17 But vpon mount Sion shall bee delierance and it shall bee holye And the Prophete Esay declareth Cap. 4 Then hee that shall bee left in SION ●nd hee that shall be lefte in Ierusalem shall be called holie and euerie one shall bee written among the liuing in Ierusalem when the LORD shall wash the filthinesse of the daughters of Sion verses 3. 4. The Lordeloueth the Gates of Sion c. Pars. 2 THis latter parte of the first verse sheweth how fatherly the Lord loueth vs for Christs sake the foundation of this Cittie vpon whome we are builded as a spirituall house The Lord saieth he loueth the Gates of Sion that is the Church of Christe For we are beloued of God for his sons sake Through whom we haue obtained reconciliation when as before we were not yet reconciled through the death of his sonne we were the enemies of God Ephes 1.

After this maner hath the gréeke text as in Latine de te of thée But the true meani●● of y e Hebrue hath in te in thée this preiudiceth nothing to vs for both are true Those excellent things which I haue made mencion off are spoken of the Church by the Prophets and Apostles and in the Church For what other thing are they but sacred holy misteries of the Gospell touching euerlasting life saluation which surely are dailie preached and sounded foorth both of the Church and in the Church that by hearing of so great matters faith might come vnto vs and by Faith Justification and Saluation The Hebrue text addeth Selah which S. Ierome translateth Semper alwaies For the Church as a Bride glorious in her Husband shal euermore be preached off glorious things shal be spoken of her and in her shall be continually sung the ineffable glorie of the euerlasting grace of God in Christ our Lord.
