To the second exception, that the Psalmist maketh no mention of Christ in that Psalm, I answer three things.
1. That the three Persons in sacred Trinity are one in essence, mind, will, and work, Joh. 5. 17, 19, 20. What the one doth the other also doth; So as the same act may be applied to any one of them. 2. Wheresoever mention is made of any act of God in reference to a creature; It is most properly the act of the Son; For the Father doth all by the Son▪ In particular, by him he made the worlds, V. 2. 3. The Kingdom of Christ is expressly described in the latter part of the Psalm, v. 12. &c. and that for the comfort of the Church, to support her in her great distress, being much overwhelmed with sore affliction by reason of the Babylonish captivity: To exemplify this in a few particulars; Who had mercy on Zion? Who built up Zion? Was it not the Lord Christ? Whose name do the converted Gentiles fear? Whom do the Kingdoms serve? Is it not the Lord Christ? Psa. 102. 13, 15, 16, 22.
