I've been working on an English translation of Gisbertus Voetius's five-volume Selectae Disputationes Theologicae (1648–1669). I plan to include additional disputations beyond the original selection to provide a fuller picture of his theology, its development, and the controversies of his age.
Matthew Henry: "So far was Solomon from monopolizing the knowledge and service of God, and wishing to have them confined to Israel only (which was the envious desire of the Jews in the days of Christ and his apostles), that he prayed that all people might fear God as Israel did. Would to God that all the children of men might receive the adoption, and be made God's children!"

Matthew Henry: "Sin is the plague of our own heart; our indwelling corruptions are our spiritual diseases. Every Israelite indeed endeavours to know these, that he may mortify them and watch against the risings of them. These he complains of. This is the burden he groans under: O wretched man that I am! These drive him to his knees, drive him to the sanctuary. Lamenting these, he spreads forth his hands in prayer."
