Thou shalt be] Men should be preferred according to their parts, and none put into any office who have not gifts and endowments to make him able to discharge it. See Numbers 11:17. Acts 6:3. be ruled] Or, armed, or at thy mouth shall all the people kisse. For, so the words may be rendred from the Hebrew Text; the sense comes all to one, for this last phrase imports very submissive observance, as kissing the commands that come from his lips, not only assenting to them, but professing their assent with a kinde of delight; and though sometimes superiours did kisse their inferiours, yet was it many times an act of homage of the inferiours to their superiours, as 1 Samuel 10:1. Psalms 2:12. Proverbs 24:26 importing a submission, rather of affection, then of compulsion; of love, then of feare.
