Of a contrite spirit, Isa. 66. 2. Heb. contrite of spirit, as some, supposing it to come from a word that signifieth to grinde, or to vex, Ezek. 13. 22. and to be the same with that which from thence derived its sound, Prov. 15. 13. & 17. 22. & 18. 14. rendred sometime a broken, sometime a wounded spirit.

…]
;;The bruising of a sinners heart (as it were) to dust powder through unfaigned and deep grief, conceived of Gods displeasure for sin. Psal. 51. 17. A broken and contrite heart, thou wilt not deapise. This is Evangelicall Contrition, and is a work of grace, the beginning of renewed repentance, as 2 Cor. 7. 10.

Our conversation is in heaven, Phil. 3. 20. We are Citizens of heaven, or heaven is the City of which we are free. The word foreign, from foreign, Citizens, is literally citizenship, and denotes a municipium, which is the state and condition of those who dwelling out of the City, have yet the jus Civitatis Romanae, the priviledges of the City of Rome, belonging unto them. But this so, that these shall differ from those that had their habitation in the City, who alone might be chosen to Offices in it. See Act. 22. 28. Thus is the Christian here on earth, a fellow Citizen of the Saints, Eph. 2. 19. Though while he dwels here, he be in an inferiour condition to them who have domicilium in urbe, the Saints that are in heaven, who alone are capable of reigning with God. Dr. Hammond, marg. & Annot. l.
Conversion]
;;The turning, or total change of an elect sinner from sin to God: and in this signification is comprehended, both faith and repentance, even the whole work of grace. Psal. 51. 14.

2 Tim. 4. 14. Two of the greatest enemies St. Paul had, were two Smiths. The one a Silversmith, Act. 19. 24. and this Coppersmith here, and both of them (as it is conceived) maligned and opposed him and his preaching, for the same reason, because the Apostle taught that they were no Gods that were made with hands, and thereby hindered their gain, and marred their handycraft, which was to make Silver or Copper Shrines or Images to the Heathen gods and goddesses.

Corner stone]
;;Properly, the head or main stone which sustains the building; and figuratively Christ, on whom the Church relyeth and stayeth, being the strength and foundation of it. As the houses both of Judah and Israel were united in David the King, as a type; so the Church of the Jews and Gentiles is built on Christ, as an house leaneth on the Corner-stone. Psal. 118. 22. This stone resused of the builders, is made the Head or Corner-stone.
Job 38. 6. … laid the Corner-stone thereof? By whose aid did I as it were lay an high corner-stone to uphold and keep together so great a building? Who made the parts to keep so close together, and to keep up one another. The words are metaphorical, to shew the firmness of the work, as buildings … that have good foundations and corner-stones. Annot. Isa. 28. 16. The choycest and firmest stones are made choyce of for corner-stones, as well for the surer knitting of the wals together, as for the better bearing up, and the beauty also (Psal. 144. 12.) of the building: In both which regards the name of a corner-…, suiteth well to Christ, Psal. 118. 22. Mat. 21. 42. Act. 4. 11. since that he not only beareth up the intite structure of his Church, Mat. 16. 18. 1 Cor. 3. 11. Eph. 2. 20. but also joyneth and knitteth most closely and firmly together both the two main wals of Jew and Gentile, and each living stone also in either wall one to another, Eph. 2. 14 — 22. & 4. 15, 16. 1 Pet. 2. 4, 5. Annot.
Bercorius in his Dictionary on the word Angulus, relateth out of the Scholastick History, that at the building of Solomon's Temple, there was a stone which the Builders could by no means fit for the building, but that one stone being wanting for the top of the building, that only did fit. Thus Christ, whom the builders rejected (the Jews) became the bead stone of the corner, Psal. 118. 22. Mat. 21. 42. Mar. 12. 10. Luk. 20. 17. Act. 4. 11.

Correct]
Job 5. 17. Sometimes the word signifies reproving, which is a verbal corection, as Lev. 19. 17. But here it imports a reall correction by stripes and troubles, ch. 33. 17, 19. Either he means, that Gods correcting wicked men for their sins, is a way to bring to blessedness, by driving them to repentance; or else he includes the use of corrections. The man whom God by afflictions brings our of his evill wayes shall be blessed. Annot. Psal. 39. 11. Dost correct, chastiseth. Aynsw. Psal. 94. 10. Rebuke. Aynsw. Jer. 2. 19.

We have corrupted no man, seems to relate to those false Teachers the Gnosticks among them, who did thus corrupt and seduce their Disciples. Dr. Hammond on 2 Pet. 1. 4. Annot. b.
