Heb. 2. 4. or distributions, marg.
Gifts and calling of God]
;;The gift of calling, by …: or by Gifts, understand the good things given according to election of grace, as in v. 28. and by calling, that effectuall work of the Spirit, whereby God hath called many Jews, and decreed to call many more to his Kingdome, by drawing them to Christ. The gifts and calling of God are without repentance, Rom. 11. 29. The gifts and calling proper to the Elect. are said to be without repentance, not in the nature of the things which are mutable, (God alone being absolutely unmutable:) nor because the Saints might not, or deserve not to lose them wholly; but because there is no change with God, who so conferreth them, as he also preserves them without any alteration of his purpose, or grief for that which he hath done, 1 Sam. 15. 29. Numb. 23. 19. In all which places, Repentance is used to signifie change or mutation of Gods decree, which is more firm then heaven and earth; as even Lyra, Haimo, and other Popish Authors expound. Here is then in this text strong ground for the doctrine of perseverance in grace, and a check to the Popish erroneous opinion of doubting of salvation, and of losing the grace of a justifying faith, whereby they crosse the Oracle of the Spirit, affirming such gifts to be without repentance. God give Papists … repentance, such as belong to him.

Some understand hereby some peace & tranquillity of conscience, arising out of a hope that their sins were pardoned, others understand it of faith which is the gift of God, Ephes. 2. 8. as some doe of Christ. Annot.
Send gifts]
Rev. 11. 10. In token of joy, Est. 9. 19, 22. for men in prosperity love to have others rejoyce with them. So secure were they, now they thought these Prophets quite gone, that they not only rejoyce themselves, both inwardly and outwardly, but do what they can to make all others rejoyce with them, at the death of them. Annot.
Oh … blindness, to joy in that which justly now should be, and hereafter must be the matter of their mourning! This is so plainly practised in Popery, that it needeth no Commentary; and the Spirit here points at them by the finger; their ringing of bels, their frequent processions, with their Songs, Te deum …, cleareth the matter. Cowper.

Gird]
Let your loyas he girded …, Luk. 12. 35. Beside the generall use of girding, for putting on clothes, frequent in these books, as Joh. 21. 7. & vers. 18. And from hence in a sense somewhat varied in the end of the same verse, another shall gird thee i. e. binde thee as a prisoner, or captive, as I conceive it also is, Job. 12. 18. where girding is set opposite to loosing of bonds.
Three sorts of men there are in these books which are proverbially said to be girt.
1 The Jewish Priests, Lev. 16. 4. Exod. 29. 5. after whose example the Son of man is brought in, Rev. 1. 13. and so the seven Angels Rev. 15. 6.
2 Sculdiers, whose military girdle was a speciall part of their armour; and hence the ungirt signifies the unarmed; and 2 Kin. 3. 21. where we read, as many as were able to put on armour, the Gr. literally from the Heb. hath it girt with a girdle. So 1 King. 20. 11. the girt and ungirt are the … and unarmed. And to this sort, the military girdle or belt, belongs that place of Eph. 6. 12. Having your loins girt, where the truth, i. e. … profession of the Gospel, in opposition to hereticall doctrines and practiles, is designed to be this girdle, which keeps all their armour close about them.
3 Servants or waiters, who serve at Tables, who having their cloaths after the Eastern manner, loose, and longe, and flying about, found it necessary to gird themselves, that they might do service the more readily. And so here in this place, Let your loins be girt being here an expression of those that expect the commands of their Masters, which appears both by the mention of their Lord whom they wait for, vers. 36. and the happy are those watching servants, vers. 37. Dr. Ham. Annot. b.
Girdle]
;;That which keeps a Souldiers armour fast to his body. 1 King. 2. 5.
Put also for strength, Isa. 23. 10. marg. Power and authority in government, Isa. 22. 21. Gods people, Jer. 13. 11. Of Girdles, three sorts:
1. Sacred, Exod. 28. 38. & 29. 9.
2. Mystical, Rev. 1. 13. & 15. 6.
3. …, Prov. 31. 24. Act. 21. 11. They were made of needle-work, Exod. 28. 39. Of linnen, Jer. 13. 1. Of leather, Mat. 3. 4. Of gold, Rev. 15. 6.
There is no more girdle]
;;Both glory and power to be taken away from Tyre, Isa. 23. 10. A girdle was used not only for ornament, but for strength. See Job 12. 18, 21. & 38. 3. & 40. 2. Isa. 11. 5.
Girdle of truth]
;;Integrity or soundness of a good conscience. Ephes. 6. 14. Your loins girded about with truth.
Having their breasts girded with golden girdles, Rev. 15. 6. They were ready girt to go about their work, Exod. 12. 11. 1 King. 18. 46. …. 12. 35. And with golden girdles, to shew their royal dignity, chap. 1. 13. Some great Religious Princes they seem to set out, who must successively weaken the Popes Kingdom, till it be quite destroyed. ….
Girding noteth care and diligence bent to perform what is …, as in the above mentioned places, and a girdle of gold is righteousness and faithfulness, Isa. 11. 5. They which are lewd and vicious, though never so wise, politick, rich and valiant, shall not be Gods instruments to plague Antichrist, and his kingdom. Bernard.
Girie]
Properly a little Maid-childe which playeth in the street, Zech. 8. 5. On such a prevailing enemy taketh no pity, but selleth them for a very little, Joel 3. 3.
Your loins girt]
;;The … up, or keeping short our wicked lusts by mortification: or, an utter abstaining from all things which hinder the Christian traveller, in his journey towards Jerusalem which is above, 1 Pet. 1. 13. Luk. 12. 35. Let your loins be girt …. It is a speech … ed from the common usage of the East Countreys, where men did wear long garments, and could not travel unless their cloaths were girt and tuckt up: So it signifies the exercise and practise of mortification and repentance. And by lamps burning, is meant, the sound and clear light of Gods Word, to guide repentance in the works and fruits of it.

Psal. 8. 81, 84. The Title. This some do hold for a certain tune-or air; or, for an Instrument of Musick; accommodated for the singing and playing of Psalms, used and practised by the posterity (as some conceive) of Obed-Edom, that was a Levite and Singer, called the Gitthite, 2 Sam. 6. 10. (… Gath-rimmon, a City of the Levites, Josh. 21. 25.) The Hebrew word Gath, whence Gittith seems to be derived, is the name of a famous City of the Philistines, (where some do ghesse this Instrument was first invented) and doth likewise signifie a wine-presse, or oyl-presse; which together with the contents or arguments of this …, do make some conjecture that this … was made of purpose to be … as a Psalm of praise and thanks giving in the vintage time. D. ….
And according to this the Greek translateth it, the winepresses. The Chaldee translateth it, To sing upon the harp that came from Gath. Aynsw.
