For what is said in the 18. ver. before of this their King, is by the Apostle in Ephes. 4. 8. applied unto Christs Ascension: Thou hast Ascended up on high, thou hast led Captivity captive, and hast received gifts for men, namely, the gifts for building of his Church, and directing of his worship under the New Testament, as it is expounded by the Apostle in the following verses. And therefore that which I have even now cited out of that Psal. ver. 24, 25, 26, &c. is to be understood as meant of the worship of the Gospel in the congregations thereof, erected after Christs Ascension. I shall add but this, These ways are called just and true, in opposition to ways invented by men, which on the contrary are unrighteous and false; Psal. 119. 104. Through thy precepts I get understanding, therefore I hate every false way. There is certainly a right Rule, or way chalked out for every administration in Gods Sanctuary, if we could find it out.
