The earth — The dominion over it. Into — Into their power. As good men are frequently scourged, so the wicked are advanced. Faces — Meantime he covers the faces of wise and good men, fit to be judges, and buries them alive in obscurity, perhaps suffers them to be condemned, and their faces covered as criminals, by those to whom the earth is given. This is daily done: if it be not God that doth it, where and who is he that doth?
