These, at least most of them were literally meant of him, who by name is expressed1 Solomon; Yet not singly and simply considered in himself alone, but as a type of Christ: For David and his posterity had their royal dignity conferred upon them, not so much for their own sakes, as that they might be a fore-going type, and a visible representation of Christs royal dignity, and of that redemption and salvation which he should bring to the people of God: So as those excellencies which in the Letter are spoken of David, Solomon, and others, are mystically, truly, and principally foretold of Christ, whereby the benefit of those promises was infinitely increased, and the comfort of true believers above measure enlarged: This the Apostles, who were inspired with a divine Spirit, well knew: and thereupon on all occasions applied those types to their intended truth; as here in this place.
