also in the writings of Paule as Galathians 5 verse 12. and 2. Timoth 4 verse 14. and in Peter Actes 8 verse 20. although he mitigate that imprecation afterward And also the olde Church did powre out these and such like praiers against Julian the Apostata the which the verie end did prooue that they were heard and surelie vnlesse sometimes we might vse them it were in vaine which is written 1. John 5 verse 16. But these things are not to bee drawne into example and as I said before wee must take great heede least either for desire of vengeance or false zeale or vnaduisedlie vsing them we sinne against either or against both the tables of the Lawe and bring vpon our owne heads the thing that we praie against others As concerning Dauid and this Psalme what bitter hatred he sustained and how cruellie he was persecuted manie yeares by Saule and ●●s it may be vnderstanded by his owne historie yet that he did beare no priuate hatred against Saule it appeared by that that he spared ●im so oft neither is it read that he did anie thing cru●llie in that whole time of banishment Therefor● did hee ●egard the glorie of God alone and the restoring of the ●ingdome trusting vnto the promises of God Further●ore the end doth declare that Dauid did speake these ●hings wholie by the spirit of prophesie and as he was a figure of Christ himselfe as Peter doth teach vs Actes 1 verse 20. The which agree with the historie of Christes death and with the pun●shments which the miserable Iewes do now also suff●r which things Dauid doth pronounce of himselfe and of his enimies in this Psalme And although it can not be certainelie determined against whome speciallie Dauid cast foorth these darts ●et I iudge their opinion to be most probable which do refer them vnto Doëg For they agree with his fact which was most horrible and the 16. verse of this Psalme doth point as it were with the finger the circumstance of that time as also the 8. verse of this Psalme doth make mention of his office and charge And although the holie scripture make no mention of Doëg afterward yet can it not bee doubted but these prophetical execrations did fal vpon him and such as we see also conceiued against him in Psalme 52. Finallie let them al knowe who folowing the example of Doëg or Judas do persecute the Church at this daie no lesse cruellie and namelie they who exercising the same hatred that they haue receiued of their Elders haue not ceased of late to stirre vp the kings by them bewitched to the most cruel murthers of most innocent man and whose crueltie is not yet satisfied let them knowe I saie although the Church do not applie these praiers preciselie against them yet both they and theirs vnlesse they repent which J rather desire doubtles haue the same and peraduenture more greeuous punishments euen in this world hanging ouer their heads as alreadie is come to passe vpon manie of them THE PARAPHRASIS 1 O GOD mine onelie honour and by who● iudgement I knowe I am allowed commended as innocent whome these 〈◊〉 do condemne as most wicked keepe not 〈◊〉 silence 2 For thou seest with how manie most false sla●ders I am assailed by wicked deceiptful and li●● men 3 With how great hatred they inuade me bo● in word and deede that I should not escape an● waie finallie how vnworthilie they fight again● me 4 For surelie they render vnto me hatred for amitie and there remaineth nothing vnto me b●● onlie to flee to my praiers 5 For my benefits I saie they render iniurie and for loue hatred vnto me 6 Chieflie that most wicked man who seeing he hath abused his authoritie against the good and the godlie cast him downe againe vnder some wicked man vnto whose lust he may be subiect and cause him to haue enuious men againe at his elbowe which may let his purposes 7 Let him be drawne into the lawe and let him neuer go out but condemned and so manie petitions as he shal make to the iudge let them bring vpon him so manie penalties 8 Let his life be short and let another take his charge when he is put foorth of office 9 Let him leaue his children fatherles and his wife a widowe 10 Let his children wander from dore to dore to beg their bread al their goodes being destroied and wasted 11 Let the cruel vsurers snare him and al his substance with their most intricate snares and what soeuer he hath gotten by sore labour let it fal vnto men that pertaine nothing to him 12 Let none of them which were his welwillers before retaine constant friendship with him let no man haue compassion of his fatherles children 13 Let his kinred vtterlie perish and let him be destroied in his next posteritie 14 Let the Lord cal vnto memorie not onelie his sinnes but also the sinnes of his fathers and of his grandfathers and also let him cal to memorie the sinnes of his mothers kinred neuer to blot them out 15 Yea let them be alwaies in Gods sight whilest the remembrance of him be vtterlie abolished 16 For trulie his manners do deserue this that his punishment should be equal to his transgression as one that hath bin so far from al humanitie that he hath not onelie had no pitie on me but also hath sought me vnto death which am vexed for no deseruing of mine owne and am forsaken of them that ought not so to do and one that am vtterlie astonished 17 He delighted in cursings the which rather let them fal vpon his owne head and as he was an enimie of al humanitie so let it depart far from him 18 Yea let al kinde of calamitie ioined together with thy wrath cleaue vnto him like a garment and inuade him wholie as the drinke receiued into the bodie entreth into the bowels and the strength of oile doth pearse vnto the verie bones 19 And let him haue perpetual miserie to be couered therewith wholie as with a cloke and like a girdle wherewith he may be alwaies girded when he commeth forth 20 And let them haue this reward of their wickednes of the Lord which are mine enimies and deuise my destruction with their deadlie slanders 21 But thou againe ô Lord God grant vnto me this thing for thine owne names sake that thou wilt deliuer me for thy great mercie 22 For I am most miserable and verie poore and most deepelie wounded in my heart 23 I vanish awaie like a shadowe when the light goeth downe and I leape here and there like a grashopper 24 My knees do faile for hunger and my bodie is consumed al iuice being wasted 25 And which thing is most greeuous of al they are so far off from being touched with anie drop of mercie that contrariwise they take occasion hereof to raile against me and if peraduenture they see me they wag their head in derision 26 Helpe me ô Lord

and to confirme them against imminent calamities which wil assured he fal vpon al them that vex the Church THE PARAPHRASIS 1 I Wil praise the Lord with my whole heart and I wil shew foorth al his maruelous workes 2 I wil be ioiful and reioice in thee I wil sing vnto thy name ô God most high 3 For that mine enimies are turned backe are fallen downe and perish at thy presence 4 For thou hast mainteined the right of my cause and sitting vpon thy throne of iudgement thou hast declared thy selfe to be a iust iudge 5 Thou hast rebuked the multitude of the heathen and thou hast destroied them for euer 6 O enimie the destructions that thou diddest threaten doe no where appeare thou saiest forsooth that thou wilt destroie cities and the memorie of the inhabitants shal together be abolished with them 7 But the Lord hath an euerlasting dominion and sitteth alwaies to giue vnto euerie man his due right 8 It is he onlie that ruleth the whole world righteouslie and gouerneth the people with equitie 9 He is an high tower to the oppressed and a safe refuge to the afflicted 10 Wherfore al that knowe thy name wil trust in thee for thou neuer forsakest ô Lord them that seeke vnto thee 11 Sing praises to the Lord which dwelleth in Zion declare vnto the people his worthie actes 12 For he maketh inquisition for bloudshead and murther neuer vnmindful of his people neither forgetteth he the crie of the oppressed 13 Haue mercie vpon me ô Lord ô thou that hast deliuered me from deaths doore see what violence mine enimies do vse against me 14 That I maie shew foorth al thy praise and entering into Zion may with ioie declare that thou art my sauiour 15 The multitude of the enimies are drowned in the selfe-same ditch which they haue digged for me and they are snarled in the selfe-same snares the which they haue hid for me 16 The Lord is knowne by executing his iudgement by catching the wicked in their owne wiles and crafts 17 The wicked shal fal backward into hel and al they that forget God 18 Neither shal the poore be alwaies forgotten neither the hope of them that are oppressed shal faile them for euer 19 Rise vp ô Lord let not mortal men preuaile let these wicked people be punished by thine appointment 20 Cast them downe ô Lord let them al knowe that they be but men mortal PSALME X. The Argument The crueltie of the enimies of the Church is liuelie painted foorth in this Psalme and their carelesse securitie and they are described to be much like the Giants called of the Poets Cyclops yet al their enterprises in the end shal come to naught because God wil neuer forsake his Church nor suffer them to go vnpunished THE PARAPHRASIS 1 WHY departest thou far off ô Lord and why withdrawest thou thy selfe when most need is in the time of troble and calamitie 2 The wicked with crueltie doth rage against the good cause them to be snared in their owne craftie counsels 3 For the wicked delighteth in his owne lustes and the couetous man doth therein count himselfe blessed and contemneth God himselfe 4 He walketh with a proud countenance and careth for nothing and thinketh alwaie that there is no God 5 Al things fal out prosperouslie vnto him he putteth awaie thy iudgements farre from his sight he casteth downe his aduersaries as with his onelie breath 6 He thinketh in his heart alwaie that he shal neuer be moued neither suffer anie aduersitie 7 His mouth is ful of cursing griefe and iniurie doe lie vnder his tongue 8 He lieth in waite in the villages to kil the innocent in secret places with glieng eies he watcheth for the succourlesse 9 He lieth in waite in secret as the Lion doth in his denne he lieth in waite I saie that he may spoile the poore drawen into his net 10 He crowcheth lieth downe so that heapes of the poore fal as a praie into hi● teeth nailes 11 He imagineth with himselfe that God forgetteth these things and doth not behold them or at the least doth not alwaies marke them 12 Rise vp ô Lorde lift vp thine hand ô most mightie and forget not the poore 13 For whie should the wicked aduaunce himselfe against God persuading himselfe that thou wilt neuer cal these things to accompts 14 But thou surelie doest behold these things thou doest obserue if anie man hurt or vexe an other that thou maist apprehend him and set him before thy iudgement seate the poore do rest vpon thee and thou hast taken vpon thee to defend the fatherles 15 Breake thou the power of this malicious and wicked person search out his wickednes that he being destroied suddenlie be seene no more 16 God the eternal King wil cast downe and destroie the wicked out of his land 17 O Lord thou hearest the desires of the poore thou comfortest their heart thou bendest thine eare vnto them 18 Deliuer the fatherles and the oppressed least these earthlie wretches do exercise a continual tyrannie ouer them PSALME XI The Argument The Prophet doeth heere teach that the godlie are in this world like vnto birds which are compelled to wander to and fro without certaine habitation for the foulers snares yet are not they to be heard which thinke that a man should leaue his calling either imagining that things are lead by fortune or that the godlie otherwaies should perish For the end wil declare it selfe that al and euerie particular thing is gouerned by Gods prouidence who wil neuer forsake them that trust in him neither wil suffer them vnpunished that dispise him And it seemeth that Dauid made this Psalme when the courtiers laboured vnder the colour of friendship to driue him out of the Court as though otherwaies he should be slaine by Saul the which thing he counted not meete to do vnlesse he were constrained by extreme necessitie THE PARAPHRASIS 1 IN the Lord put I my trust how saie yee then as men careful for my life Flee awaie into your mountaines 2 For lo saie ye the wicked haue bent their bowe and haue laid their arrowes vpon their string to shoote at those priuilie that are of vpright heart 3 And whereas the verie foundations are shaken what can the righteous do 4 The Lord sitteth in his holie temple the Lords throne is in the heauens his eies doe behold al things and he trieth mortal men with his eie lids 5 The Lord trieth both the good and the bad and he vtterlie hateth and abhorreth him that is giuen to wickednes 6 He wil raine vpon the wicked coles fire and brimstone and stormie tempests this is their portion appointed 7 For the iust God loueth righteousnes and he alwaies beholdeth them that do right PSALME XII The Argument When the Church is sometime brought into this extremitie that al men may be bold to doe al things either by force or by craft so that al things may

that man that trusteth in the Lordes protection 9 Feare ye the Lord therfore so manie as he hath separate and consecrate to himselfe for nothing shal be wanting to them that feare the Lord. 10 Behold I praie you the lions and al such beasts as liue by rauening crueltie how oft they die being destitute of their praie this is the resemblance of the wicked which seeke riches and power by the oppression spoile of the poore alwaies greedie whilest they perish miserablie But of the contrarie part vnto them that feare God there wanteth nothing that is for their commoditie 11 Come hither my children heare you me and I wil teach you the right rule of godlie life 12 Is there anie that desireth that most blessed life heaped vp with al true felicitie 13 First of al regard that thou abuse not thy tong to hurt anie man or to deceiue anie 14 So abstaine from euil that thou doe that thing which is good Be thou careful to keepe true peace and concord so that though it seeme to flee from thee thou stil doe pursue it And though whilest thou followest this waie thou must sustaine manie battels yet be not discouraged 15 For the Lord with open eies watcheth ouer them that loue iustice and hath attentiue eares vnto their cries 16 Contrariwise he beholdeth them with a terrible countenance whosoeuer reioice in wickednes that he may roote them out and the remembrance of them altogether 17 Wherefore the iust doe crie I grant and not without cause but the Lord heareth them and deliuereth them forth of al miseries 18 For euen then when they seeme to be brought to the greatest extremities he is most neare vnto them to comfort their heauie hearts 19 Finallie they that would liue iustlie are subiect to manie miseries but the Lord deliuereth them out of al. 20 And though the enimies do seeme to be readie to breake their verie bones in pieces yet the Lord wil not suffer the least of them to be broken 21 But their owne wickednes shal destroie the wicked and al they shal perish that hate the iust 22 For the Lord doth redeeme the soules of his seruants neither shal anie of them that flee vnto him be condemned or perish PSALME XXXV The Argument This Psalme doth minister a goodlie example of praiers both for the whole Church and for euerie member of the same against such as flatter good men and counterfet friendship when they are in prosperitie but when there commeth anie change of their state they doe kindle the vniust wrath of Kings and Princes with their slanderous accusations and so do inflame their rage whereof they are readie to be the executioners Wherefore the Prophet teacheth the godlie to flee vnto God in these difficulties who both hath sufficient power to destroie these wicked flattering courtiers and also a readie mind to preserue his Howbeit least we abuse these praiers first of al we must take heede that we maintaine a iust cause secondlie that we carrie a mind not willing to aduenge our owne priuate iniurie but desirous to restore and set forth Gods glorie finallie that we lash not foorth anie word by the motion of the fl●sh but by the guiding of Gods holie spirit THE PARAPHRASIS 1 DEfend mine innocencie ô Lord against thē that oppresse me with slanders and set thy power against them that fight against me 2 Arise ô Lord to helpe me bring foorth al that aromur whereby I may sustaine their rage 3 Set vpon them ô Lord both by casting thy darts a farre off and also encounter with them hand to hand that persecute me Graunt that this poore soule may heare thee bearing it witnes that thou art the sauiour thereof 4 Cause them I saie that seeke my death to be destitute of their purpose and to be ashamed euen those that imagine so much mischiefe against mee to be put to shame and not bring their matters to passe 5 Send thine Angel downe from heauen that may driue them to and fro euen as we see the chaffe driuen with the whirle-wind 6 Cause that whither soeuer they go they may be doubtful as men wandering in darkenes and stumbling in slipperie places feareful careful whiles thine Angels doe pursue them 7 For without anie cause haue they laid wait for me and haue digged as it were a pit in the which they would catch me and kil me 8 Let him rather fal at vnawares and let him be cast downe and snared in the same net that he hath laid for me 9 But I ô Lord being preserued by thee reioicing with an holie ioie wil praise thee my deliuerer 10 And my verie bones ô Lord wil crie that there is none like vnto thee who doest deliuer the afflicted from them that oppresse them by violence and settest at libertie the poore and miserable from the rage of the tyrants 11 The same doe stand vp as witnesses against me which offer me this violence and they laie such things vnto my charge as neuer came into my mind 12 And whereas I haue deserued wel at their hands they do me euil for good and are readie to take my life from me vnles thou do stop them 13 Yet when I did see them in distresse I changed my garment I pined my selfe with fasting and bowed me downe and praied for them 14 Finallie I went so heauilie and with sorowful countenance testified I my griefe none otherwaies than if they had bin my neare kinsfolke or if I should haue mourned for mine owne mother 15 But they contrariwise when they did see me stagger they tooke counsel together against me they conspired I say against me suspecting no such thing euen the most vile men make none end of railing against me with open mouth 16 They haue ioined themselues to iesters and parasites and they haue al whet their teeth against me 17 O Lord how long wilt thou behold this when wilt thou correct them deliuer me from them that rage so fearcelie against me and deliuer this soule wanting al succor from these most cruel lions 18 Deliuer me I saie that I may set foorth thy praise in the assemblie of al thy people and in the audience of them al. 19 Suffer not I beseech thee that these faithles and vngrate persons reioice that they haue ouercome me either that they which hate me without cause with glieng eies deride me 20 For they are inflamed with a deadlie hatred and though the earth open vnderneath and threaten ruine yet thinke they of nothing but how with most craftie words they may hurt euerie one 21 Wherefore they gape and laugh saieng Ah! ah We see now at the length that we haue so long desired 22 Thou seest both me and them also ô Lord do not I praie thee passe these things ouer in silence ô Lord neither depart thou far from me 23 But rather awake and come foorth to deliuer me ô Lord my God and defend my iust cause 24 O Lord my
