Psalm 110. Jehovah hath said▪ sit at my right hand, until I put thine enemies as a footstool under thy feet. Jehovah shall send out of Zion the rod of thy strength▪ rule in the middest of thine enemies. Also, the Lord hath sworn, and it shall not repent him, thou art a Priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek. And Christ teacheth in Matth. 22. towards ⟨p. 207⟩the end, that this prophecy is to be understood of him. And Christ being adjured of the high priest, confesseth himself to be both the son of God, and that he will overcome his enemies sitting at the right hand of God. Matth. 26.63, 64. And the high priest answering said unto him, I adjure thee by the living God, that thou tell us whether thou be Christ that son of God: Jesus saith unto him, thou hast said: Nevertheless I say unto you, hereafter shall you see the son of man sitting at the right hand of the power of God & coming in the clouds of heaven. The fulfilling of that prophecy of David concerning the sitting at the right hand of God is extant in the 16. of Mark, After the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven and sitteth at the right hand of God, and Act. 2. ver. 33.36. & 5. ver. 31. and so that same stone refused of the builders was made the head of the corner.
