Which pure offering is accompanied with illustrations, digging for hidden treasures in it; and rules to employ it upon the glorious and various intentions of it. : Whereunto are added, some other portions of the sacred Scripture, to enrich the cantional.

ILLUSTRATIONS on the LXXVI PSALM.
Compare the Fifth Verse of the Psalm with the XXXVIII, and XXXIX Chapters of Ezekiel, and you would here think on the Messiah's Triumph over Gog and Magog. The Vintage in the last Verse leads one to Isai. LXIII. and Rev. XIX. Whether the former Psalm had a reference to Sonacherib's overthrow or no, 'tis more probable that this may have so. The•dor•• assures us, That in some Copies of the Greek Version, he found this Title, An Ode against the Assyrians.
