contain_v in_o they_o no_o great_a matter_n but_o if_o you_o look_v into_o the_o same_o with_o spiritual_a eye_n there_o appear_v a_o wonderful_a great_a majesty_n in_o they_o which_o because_o our_o

or_o vain_a which_o they_o will_v not_o either_o recite_v or_o hear_v with_o more_o courage_n &_o delight_n these_o word_n therefore_o must_v be_v unfold_v &_o lay_v before_o the_o eye_n of_o the_o faithful_a for_o when_o he_o say_v we_o will_v go_v into_o the_o house_n of_o the_o lord_n what_o notable_a thing_n can_v we_o see_v in_o these_o word_n if_o we_o do_v but_o only_o behold_v the_o stone_n timber_n gold_n and_o other_o ornament_n of_o the_o material_a temple_n but_o to_o go_v into_o the_o house_n of_o the_o lord_n signify_v another_o manner_n of_o thing_n namely_o to_o come_v

give_v peace_n and_o remission_n of_o sin_n etc_n etc_n this_o be_v right_o to_o behold_v the_o temple_n and_o not_o as_o the_o visured_a bishop_n behold_v their_o idolatrous_a temple_n when_o they_o

we_o in_o this_o psalm_n with_o thankfulness_n to_o acknowledge_v this_o singular_a benefit_n of_o the_o word_n and_o to_o beware_v of_o the_o horrible_a contempt_n thereof_o how_o much_o better_a
