out of Zion] And thence it shall stretch thorow all the world: and this power chiefly standeth in the preaching of the word, Isaiah 2:3.

Psalms 110:3

Thy people shall be willing] By thy word thy people shall be assembled unto thy Church, whose encrease shall be so abundant and wonderfull, as the drops of the dew falling from the womb of the morning.

from the womb of the morning: thou hast] Or, more then the womb of the morning: thou shalt have, &c. Or, more then the morning.

Psalms 110:4

Thou art a priest for ever, after the order of Melchizedek] Hebrews 5:6. and Hebrews 7:17.

after the order of Melchizedek] As Melchizedek the figure of Christ was both king and priest; so the effect cannot be accomplished in any king, save onely in Christ, Hebrews 6:20. and Hebrews 7:1.

Psalms 110:6

he shall wound the heads over many countreys] No power shall be able to resist him.

many] Or, great.

Psalms 110:7

He shall drink of the brook in the way] He shall, in the eager pursuit of his enemies, drink hastily of the water next at hand; and being thereby refreshed, pursue his enemies to full victory. Some understand it of Christs bitter cup in his passion, and glorious resurrection.

therefore shall he lift up the head] He shall triumph after his victories: or, he shall lift up the head of Christ.
