2 a Within the Tabernacle couered with skinnes, {Exo. 26,7}
2 ! Dauid wolde buylde God an house, but is forbidden by the Prophet Nathan.
5 b Meaning he shulde not: yet Nathan speaking according to mans judgement and not by the Spirit of prophecie, permitted him.
7 c As concerning the buylding of an house: meaning that without Gods express word nothing oght to be attempted.
8 ! God putteth Dauid in minde of his benefites.
9 d I haue made thee famous through all the worlde.
10 e He promiseth them quietnes, if they wil walke in his feare and obedience.
12 ! He promiseth continuance of his kingdome and posteritie.
14 f That is, gentely, as fathers vse to chastice their children.
16 g This was begon in Salomon as a figure, but accomplished in Christ.
19 / Ebr. is this the lawe of man?
19 h Cometh not this rather of thy fre mercie, then of anie worthines that can be in man?
19 l From the Egyptians and their idoles.
23 k And inheritance, which is Israel.
24 m He sheweth that Gods fre election is the onely cause, why the Israelites were chosen to be his people.
26 n This praier is moste effectual, when we chiefly seke Gods glorie, and the accomplishement of his promes.
27 / Ebr. founde his heart disposed.
29 o Therefore I firmely beleue it shal come to passe.
