willfullnes as yf ther were neither God nor any opinion of goodnes among them haue they not vaine imaginations are not their foolish harts full of darknes when they call not upon God nor seek after him nor any behaviour of Godlynes Now how are the holy people of God spoiled as Ps. 12 And the whole church eaten out with profane-nes devoured and consume-ed with idolatrous contempt and reproche by their captivers and molesters Ps. 79 when the Feare that they fear and the God that they reverence and worship in the generation of the Iust the poore is made to distrust and to be abashed of their relying on him Ps. 1. for suffering of so great reproche That a man would think ther were no God that regarded them So complaining of the general corruption of man and of the greevous calamity of the church under the Hethen that profess not God as Ps. 74.79 for that it freats them to death beeing allmost in despaire hee prayeth for deliverance and a return of them from captivity to praise God and rejoyce and be merry again in Sion their glory their secureity confidence and Salvation Ps. 53.56 Construction Iad the letters that signify a hand are heer taken for work and also for counsel which two kindes runn through the Psalme to the handy work of captivity Leading away and bringing again arguing still ab effectu denying God by their deeds either idle or dooing wrong The Genesis is in the 4 quiescents and idle letters with the hebrews called E he vi and Grammarians the sonns of Noah or children of rest which becaus they are the letters of the Name of God and are not pronownceed they are sayd not to call upon God and to deny God in the words Iehovah lo quaraow as the Athists that will haue none of his wisdom nor any such understanding mark the fower Jehovahs and the fower Elohims mark the fower eins for a quiescent Iod. For beeing idle and dooing no good mark the vers all are gon away c. wher al fower are mentioned mark fear for one of the 4 Elohims as Ps. 53. and conclude that the mystery is in Iehovah and so in Ehevi as before PSALM XV. THou art Peter and upon this rock will I build my church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it How shall a yongman keep clean his way Ps. 119. b what way shall hee take for eternall life How shall hee save himself that hee fall not and that his enimyes prevaile not over him as Psal. 13. seeing the Godly are so few and good men so rare Psal. 12.14 wher is the rout and assembly of thē are they known by their dwelling or by their guests Surely the tabernacles of God are with men and hee suppeth and dine-eth and sojourneth and dwelleth with whom hee like-eth and so dwell they invisiblely with him And this tabernacle of God and Mount of holynes is nothing but the habitation of Godlynes in man after they once receiue him they dwell with God who hath him in their mindes and God dwelleth with thē that love him and keep his commandemēts and their wayes are unreproovable And for this hee wondereth that ther is any way to it or that any man can ascend to it seeing the way is so strait and strict that leadeth unto life and the entrance therinto so hard to finde What things are to be don who is the childe of Godlynes and who shall dwell with God and liue perpetually and what kinde of church shall never be mooved So hee describe-eth the church of God by the statutes therof with a promiss of eternity to the performers Ps. 133. who they are and the greatnes of their glory is expressed over and above in the 24 Psalme by the royallty of their entertainment and also as Psalme 101. The doore of righteousnes Ps. 118. and also by the fifteen Psalmes of Ascensions thither Ps. 120 c. called the Psalmes of degrees This is the way of God and of the just Ps. 25. which shall not perish Ps. 1. and the wise mans profound and sure building upon a rock that abides all wether against the sandy shallownes of the wicked in the former Psalme 14.9 1. which the flood commeth and sweepeth clean away Gen. 6.7 For the Ark and Noahs walking with God in thought word and deed an upright man This is the work of salvation which must be wrought for the inheritance of eternall life Construction The letters Tau that signify to spinn as ther is a threed of life doe heer import extortion oppression and detraction For thes all bee proper by wringing and wresting from his neighbour to diminish him Beside by the letters apart Tet is the contēptible dust of the floore rejected of all and Vau is the love of the Godly and hooking by wrong giving and receiving The Genesis is the tabernacle which is the Ark and that the word that rested upon the hills of Ararat and hee that shall abide in it is Noah to wit the quiescent or som letter of grammer while hee is just and upright Gen. 6. to his neighbour or next letter for so long shall a letter abide as his fellow can indure him and yf his behaviour faile hee is either changed or put clean out but with som token of corruption and deficiencey and this you may wel see in the two defective wordes Nathā and Laquah wher in declineing neither N nor L. can abide for offending By 3 dooings and 3 refreinings twise the like PSALM XVI WHer a mans treasure is there is his hart and what is a mans God but his cheeff delight Ps. 4 And what pleasure is ther like to salvation and where is the fullnes of Ioy but the redemption from Ignorance the light and knowledge and perfection in the Law of God a way of a virtuous life without corruption Psal. 14.15 a way of Immortality a way not of the flesh but of the Spirit a way not of worldly walking but of Godly Cariage a liveing true and everlasting way as ps 1. a moste pure and clean way both for reverence and performance ps 19 This is inward and outward Iustice consisting in sayth and love ps 25 the Grace and Truthe of the Gospell for charitablenes of intention and faythfullnes of performance in every work Now becaus this Righteousnes is the Sacrifice that is to be sacrifice-ed the Iustification of a man that will be saved Ps 4 and not any outward oblation and becaus it can double the kings dayes and preserve him that relyeth theron as Psal. 61. and that all Davids nightly consultation and his innermost Ioy and even his reines delight in the Instruction of it and that God is all his good his part his share his cup his Lot and measures of Inheritance and all moste goodly to him in his leviticall blessing and that all his birth and parentage and beginning and end of dayes is the study of the word of God like Melchisedek

clens him from the spots of his iniquity which compassed his heeles and marred his goeing as Ps. 49. and giue him inward wisdom to sanctifye him and purge him like Issop and clense him to justify him and wash him whiteer then snow and deliver him out of temptation and cheer his krokeen bones That hee would not look upon the sorenes of his sinnes and that hee would blot out and deface his iniquity that hee would clens his corrupt thoughtes and clothe him with a clean skinn skinn him over again with a right spirit and make him a new man That God would not put him out of the Church for his plague and sores of Sinn not deprive him of all his spirit of holynes but make him glad with his salvation and sustein him with the spirit of zeal and willingnes Ps. 145. that hee may convert trespassers and sinners to the wayes of Godlines And that the very God of his salvation would deliver him from Murther that hee may be able to speake of Gods Iustice and tell out his Prais For the Matter becaus it is the confession and confidence requireed in the last Psalme and becaus God refuseeth all other sacrifice and offering hee commeth now with his brokeen and contrite hart and a minde all in peeces with greeff for his sinn That hee would mend up Zion repair his knowledge and re-edify his understanding by the walls of Ierusalem that God may pleas himself with a perfet offering and sacrifice of righteousnes when they offer up bullocks upon his Altar Math. 8.

For another kinde of sacrifice to perform their promiss in Egypt a God of Salvation for his Name PSALM LII BEtween us and you is firmed a great gulf they that would goe from hence to you cannot and they that would com from thence to us cannot So is the difference and distance between the Rich and the Poor not small and the passage impossible For when the Poor hath all his hope and trust in God the Rich reckoneth not of God at all haveing gotten what his hart can wish but blaspheme●h as Ps. 10. Neither can the Rich-man bee brought to the Poor-mans faith nor the Poor bee made profane or can they be reconcileed ech to other So farr a sunder is Prosperity and Adversity pride and bashfullnes Neither by any meanes can their punishment or reward be changed so great a firmament and so unpassible a space is set between them Disdeigne keepeth off the one and f●ar the other And likewise when their lots be changeed the one beeing made happy the other accursed to make the righteous mery And this opposition is good by the divers and contrary sens of divers wordes in the same Psalme as Havoth welth and corruption Chesed blasphemy and kindenes and Sheresh in a contrary sens as Psal. 80. The occasion of this Psalme is Doegs discovery of David and complaining of his freend Ahimelek to get his life and that the Poor in affliction might have no place left him at all and this by the practise of a keen and subdole tongue that causeth all mischeeff and division variance and debate strife and contention never to bee reconcileed or appeased more It is corrupt and fals and subdole and sharp malitious and spitefull and inflameed with blasphemy and useeth al the wayes of destruction devouring subversion so his judgement must bee to feel eternall flames therin and his own overthrow from God and an expelling out of his hous and plantation and an utter rooting of him out of the world with disgrace for trusting in his highe place his welth because the hevenly Father plāted him not whē David is still green in the hous of God with the fayth in his merceyes and admireing the mighty goodnes and operation of his Name for ever The form is from the tree of knowledge of good and evill and the tree of life Gen. 3. Behold I put before you good bad life death blessing cursing c. Now wher the tong should bee kept frō evill and the lips from guile and they should hate shunn evill doe good yf th●y mean to have life and good dayes as Ps. 97.34 Doeg is blameed heer for his love●ng of ill more then good and therfor held accursed and to be throwen out of his habitation and out of the favour of God For man liveth not by b●ead onely but by the word of God and faith theron Which is the tree of life as Psal. 56. The favour of God Ps. 30. The tree of the everlasting mercyes of God that are never to bee spent and consumeed but by faith men gather them continually like Manna in the wildernes and they be renewed every morning allwayes green by a lively fayth And this is Davids plantation and habitation in the hous of God The matter is the abjection rejection cōdemnation of the Rich out of all favour of God the everlasting continuance of the Godly in the bosom of Abraham and pleasant study of the Law And as Lazarus is raised in David by prayer as Ps. 51. by such a faith to be entertained and comforted in heaven so the rich Doeg is thrown down into torments of disgrace in hell in this Psalme by the final judgement of God that is of a mighty depth as Ps. 36. and that is an everlasting gulf betwixt them So as the 50. is for judgement the 51 and this Psalme for the partyes so all are from the Parable Ps. 49. Construction The letter Nun defective or the word Nun to spring or grow or from Nub Ps. 6.2 to bring forth riches grow or increas The whole is defection or affection and the end destruction or flowrishing How the great man misseth you may see Ps. 34.97 both in his tongue and affection delighting in evill in steed of good and speaking of falshood So missing of truth the fear of God his life is shortened David delighteth in the best good the
