1. David entered not without strong Opposition, much Contempt and Disdain: So Jesus Christ was vilified: The Stone which the Builders refused, is become the Head-Stone of the Corner. 1No Man was more despised of Saul's Courtiers, than David, who was thought far enough from the Kingdom: So no Man could be more slighted and rejected, than Christ was by the Scribes, Pharisees, Priests, and other People of Israel.

2. In his Administration, David would judg uprightly, and sing of Mercy and Judgment; he would endure no hateful Person in his sight: Christ, the true David, is the most just and righteous Judg of Heaven and Earth, who most sincerely dispenseth Grace and Mercy to all penitent Sinners, but feeds impenitent and rebellious Ones with Judgment, &c.
3. In the Continuation of his Kingdom, God promised Mercy to David, and his Seed for ever: Which Promises are not to be extended to his carnal Succession, for the Princely Dignity is taken from them; but the spiritual Seed of the true David was there meant: 1. Christ himself, in whom his Kingdom is perpetuated. 2. The true Israel, whether Jews or Gentiles, who by Faith are engrafted into the Messiah, in respect of whom there shall be no end of his Kingdom.
