So that by seeking the Lord and David their king, is meant, that they should know and acknowledge, worship and serve, both God the father, and his son Jesus Christ: according to that, John. 17. 3. This is life eternal, that they 1know thee, the only very God and whom thou hast sent Jesus Christ. For as when they were said to have made a defection from David, the meaning was not that this defection was made from his person, seeing he was dead many years before; but from his kingdom established in his posterity: so when they are here said to seek David their king, the meaning is, that they should not seek his person which was dead, but his kingdom established for ever in his seed Jesus Christ.
So that by seeking the Lord and Dauid their king, is meant, that they should know and acknowledge, worship and serue, both God the father, and his sonne Iesus Christ: according to that, Iohn. 17. 3. This is life eternall, that they 1know thee, the onely very God and whom thou hast sent Iesus Christ. For as when they were said to haue made a defection from Dauid, the meaning was not that this defection vvas made from his person, seeing hee was dead many yeeres before; but from his kingdome established in his posteritie: so when they are here said to seeke Dauid their king, the meaning is, that they should not seeke his person which was dead, but his kingdome established for euer in his seed Iesus Christ.
