1. In ruling his people. He rules with Clemency; his Regal Rod hath honey at the end of it: Christ displays the Ensign of Mercy, which makes so many Volunteers run to his Standard, Psal. 110. 3. Holiness without Mercy, and Justice without Mercy, were dreadful; but Mercy encourageth poor sinners to trust in him.
2. In over-ruling his Enemies. He pulls down their pride, befools their policy, restrains their malice, Psalm 76. 10. The remainder of wrath thou shalt restrain: Or as it is in the Hebrew,1 [Greek or Hebrew] thou shalt girdle up. That stone cut out of the Mountains without hands, which smote the Image, Dan. 2. 34. was an Emblem (saith Austin) of Christs Monarchical power, conquering and triumphing over his Enemies.

The remainder of wrath thou shalt restrain: Or as it is in the Hebrew,1 〈non-Latin alphabet〉 thou shalt girdle up. That stone cut out of the Moutains without hands, which smote the Image, Dan. 2. 34. was an Embleme (saith Austin) of Christs Monarchical power, conquering and triumphing over his Enemies.
