The blessing of God fattens some, and such fat ones bless God. David Prophesies, that when The Kingdom shall be the Lords, and he the Governor among the Nations (which is very ⟨p. 149⟩parallel with what those great voices said after the seventh Angel had sounded (Revel. 11.15.) The Kingdoms of this World are become the Kingdoms of the Lord, and of his Christ, and he shall reign for ever and ever; and when this shall be, saith David (Psal. 22.30.) Then all they that be fat upon the Earth, shall eat, and worship; that is, the great ones shall submit to Christ; his Kingdom shall be enlarged, and not only the poor, who are described in the latter part of that Verse in the Psalm, under the name and notion of such, as go down to the dust, but the rich shall receive the Gospel. Kings and Queens, persons of Authority and wealth, shall come to the participation of the grace of Christ (Isa. 60.3.10) They who have their bellies full of the meat that perisheth, shall have their souls full of that meat which endures to everlasting life. (Psal. 45.12.) The rich among the people; What people? The first words of the Verse tell us, he means the Tyrians who were a wonderful rich people (Isa. 23.8. Ezek. 27.) and the Tyrians are here put by a Synecdoche for all other Heathens; for though Tyre, were a City in the Tribe of Asher (Josh. 19.29.) yet it was at that time possessed by Heathens. Now, saith the Psalmist, The rich among these people shall entreat thy favour: That is, the Churches favour. God will work their hearts to an earnest desire of admission into the society of the Saints, and to live under a professed subjection to the Gospel of Jesus Christ, who have abounded in worldly possessions, and hold the World in subjection to their power: These rich and fat ones among the people shall entreat thy favour. This Prophecy was in part fulfilled (Mark 3.8.) where we read of great multitudes from Tyre and Sidon flocking after Christ: So that it is not riches and fatness precisely considered, but the intending of our skin, or our studiousness to fill our selves with earthly delicates, which shows we have weak appetites to, or rather a loathing of the things of Heaven.
The blessing of God fattens some, and such fat ones blesse God. David Prophesies, that when The Kingdome shall be the Lords, and he the Governour among the Nations (which is very ⟨p. 149⟩paralell with what those great voyces sayd after the seventh Angel had sounded (Revel. 11.15.) The Kingdomes of this World are become the Kingdomes of the Lord, and of his Christ, and hee shall reigne for ever and ever; and when this shall be, saith David (Psal. 22.30.) Then all they that be fat upon the Earth, shall eate, and worship; that is, the great ones shall submit to Christ; his Kingdome shall be inlarged, and not onely the poore, who are described in the latter part of that Verse in the Psalme, under the name and notion of such, as goe downe to the dust, but the rich shall receive the Gospell. Kings and Queens, persons of Authority and wealth, shall come to the participation of the grace of Christ (Isa. 60.3.10) They who have their bellyes full of the meat that perisheth, shall have their soules full of that meat which endures to everlasting life. (Psal. 45.12.) The rich among the people; What people? The first words of the Verse tell us, he meanes the Tyrians who were a wonderfull rich people (Isa. 23.8. Ezek. 27.) and the Tyrians are here put by a Synechdoche for all other Heathens; for though Tyre, were a City in the Tribe of Aser (Josh. 19.29.) yet it was at that time possessed by Heathens. Now, saith the Psalmist, The rich among these people shall intreat thy favour: That is, the Churches favour. God will work their hearts to an earnest desire of admission into the society of the Saints, and to live under a professed subjection to the Gospel of Jesus Christ, who have abounded in worldly possessions, and hold the World in subjection to their power: These rich and fat ones among the people shall intreat thy favour. This Prophesie was in part fulfilled (Mark 3.8.) where we read of great multitudes from Tyre and Sidon flocking after Christ: So that it is not riches and fatnesse precisely considered, but the intending of our skin, or our studiousnesse to fill our selves with earthly delicates, which shewes we have weak appetites to, or rather a loathing of the things of Heaven.
