themselues to vnrighteousnes which folowe the waie that he sheweth 4 For neither hast thou ô Lord commanded anie thing vnaduisedlie either as things that we should onlie vnderstand or idlie consider but thou hast commanded that they should be obserued and kept with al diligence 5 And would to God that my manners might so be ordered by thy gouernement that I might most constantlie perseuere in keeping most carefullie thy statutes 6 For then shal al things go wel with me when I shal turne the eies of my mind vnto al thy commandements 7 For then verelie shal I onlie worship thee rightlie and purelie when I do not folowe this or that manner of worship but shal learne thy most iust lawes 8 Therefore am I fullie purposed to keepe thy statutes and thou neuer forsake me when I am in distresse THE PARAPHRASIS Octo. II. 9 I Praie you by what meanes can the youth which of it selfe is headie to al kinde of vice purelie and holilie direct his manners euen if he obserue diligentlie those things which thou hast spoken vnto vs. 10 I certainelie do seeke thee with my whole heart and thou which hast wrought this wil in me staie me furthermore least I being drawne awaie with anie euil affection do wander from thy precepts 11 I do beare thy word that is laide vp in my heart like a pretious treasure least I offend thee in anie matter 12 But except thou thy selfe ô Lord that art greater than al praise hadst bin my maister and instructer trulie I should nothing haue preuailed therefore teach thou me thy statutes 13 Then euen I speaking openlie wil shew forth the lawes that are set downe by thy most holie mouth 14 I take much more pleasure of this one thing that I may keepe that waie which thou hast testified to please thee than if I had attained al the treasures of al men 15 Therefore wil I meditate thy commaundements continuallie and wil applie my whole mind to obserue thy waies 16 I wil delight my mind I saie in thy statutes neither wil I at anie time forget thy words THE PARAPHRASIS Octo. III. 17 BVT thou ô Lord continue to embrace me againe thy most bound seruant with the same fauour that I ouercomming al difficulties may remaine to obserue those things which thou hast spoken vnto vs. 18 Roll awaie that vaile which taketh awaie from the eies of my mind al the vse of the true light that I may behold those vndoubted wonderful secrets which do shine foorth of that thy heauenlie doctrine 19 For I am a stranger in the earth striuing to go to another place euen to that better heauenlie life wherefore I beseech thee hide not from mee thy precepts which verelie leade vs thither 20 For I am so inflamed wholie with great desire of knowing and keeping thy lawes both in prosperitie and aduersitie that this zeale consumeth me 21 Thou vsest to rebuke to destroie the haughtie persons and such as stubbornlie striue against thee and they are worthilie appointed to destruction whosoeuer refuse thy precepts 22 But these notwithstanding vse to reproch me with al kind of contumelie but thou remoue these things far from me because I do folowe thy wil that thou hast testified vnto vs. 23 For euen the princes and the great men also assembling themselues together do take counsel against me and slander me but I giue my selfe wholie to meditate thy statutes whilest they thus deale with me 24 These are my delightes these are the men whose counsel I vse THE PARAPHRASIS Octo. IIII. 25 YEt I confesse that I can not be but tormented most greeuouslie with so manie vndeserued iniuries so that I may seeme now without life and fastened to the graue but restore thou life vnto me like as thou doest promise this thing by thy word whereof onlie I aske counsel and comfort 26 For I do vse to open al mine affaires vnto thee and thou didst neuer faile me asking counsel of thee therefore teach me thy statutes more and more 27 Grant I saie that I may dailie knowe in these difficulties what waie is agreeable to thy commandements and that I may rest in the consideration of that maruelous wisedome which shineth foorth in them 28 For it is necessarie so to do for I wholie melt awaie for sorowe raise me now vp therfore that am fallen downe as thou hast promised by thy word 29 Remoue thou far from me whatsoeuer things may drawe me awaie from truth and right and rather graunt thou me that I may hold the waie prescribed by thy doctrine 30 For I haue chosen this as the true waie and I do prefer this before al other things 31 O Lord I endeuour my selfe I saie to cleaue fast vnto those things which are approoued by thy testimonie of the which my purpose grant I beseech thee that I do neuer repent 32 And I being drawne foorth of these streightes by thee as it were into a most broade place wil finish the whole course of my life by the direction of thy precepts THE PARAPHRASIS Octo. V. 33 TEach me ô Lord the order of life set foorth in thy decrees of the which I was not able of my selfe once to thinke that I may keepe it to the ende 34 Graunt that I may thoroughlie knowe thy doctrine the which I may obserue and keepe with al my heart 35 Direct me also that am entred into the waie of these thy precepts for there is nothing wherein I more delight 36 I beseech thee to turne my minde from filthie lucre which of it selfe would run a contrarie waie and incline it to embrace those things which thou testifiest to please thee 37 Keepe backe mine eies also that they be not deceiued by the enticing shew of most vaine things but rather bring me into the true life following thee my guide 38 And establish vnto thy seruant in deede that which thou hast promised in word to them that feare thee 39 Turne awaie that reproch which I do not feare without cause for thy lawes are good and therefore it were wickednes to condemne the loue of them in me 40 Behold I desire nothing more than thy commandements and keepe thou mee safe against al dangers for the mercie that thou hast promised THE PARAPHRASIS Octo. VI. 41 GRaunt ô Lord that I may proue by experience also that thy manifold mercie and deliuer me as thou hast spoken 42 That I may haue what to answere them who do therefore reproch me because I do depend vpon thy word 43 Suffer not I beseech thee that I being ouercome with their iniuries or with impatience should speake anie other thing but that thy word neither suffer that I being destitute thereof should vtterlie be dumbe For I do waite whilest thou execute such punishment vpon these wicked men as thy lawes do threaten 44 And whatsoeuer they do deuise against me I wil keepe the doctrine which thou hast giuen vs alwaie and for euer 45 Wherefore I going

Lord and they shal testifie vnto their posteritie that shal be borne after them that he onelie is the authour of this maruellous worke PSALME XXIII The Argument Dauid of a shepeheard being made a most mightie king contrarie to the errour of the Epicures which do dreame that al that they haue comm●th vnto th●m either by fortune or by th●ir owne industrie and so abuse al the good things that they haue vnto al filthines doth attribute al those things to the liberalitie of God alone vsing two similitudes one of a shepeheard that prouideth for his flocke with great carefulnes the which similitude is most apt for Dauid being once a shepeheard and it also admonisheth the kings that they ought to be the shepeheards and feeders of the people The other similitude is taken from them that keepe good hospitalitie which most liberallie receiue those trauelers that come vnto them the which thing also doth admonish vs of our state and sheweth how al things are sanctified vnto vs by the word of God and thankesgiuing whatsoeuer the Lord ministreth vnto vs for the vse of this life Last of al it teacheth vs that we ought to rise from those transitorie benefites to those euerlasting and heauenlie blessings seeing that godlines hath the promises both of this present life and of the life to come THE PARAPHRASIS 1 THE Lord is my shepeheard I neede not to feare anie famine 2 He lodgeth me in greene pastures and leadeth me to the pleasant riuers of waters 3 He restoreth me to life being ouertyred and doeth leade me in a plaine and pleasant waie deseruing thereby euerlasting praise for his mercie 4 Therefore though I should go by most darke and dreadful vallies of death I wil feare none euil trusting vpon the rod and shepeheards hooke of my shepeheard 5 Thou in the verie sight of mine enimies doest prepare a deintie table for me thou doest annoint my head with oile and giuest me a ful cup. 6 And surelie thy goodnes and mercie shal followe me to cause me to dwel in thy house al the daies of my life PSALME XXIIII The Argument This most sweete Psalme doth teach vs that as God is the creator of al things so is he the Lord of al howbeit that he hath chosen vnto himselfe out of the multitude of men some certaine persons whome onlie he accounteth for his subiects and whome alone he hath appointed to euerlasting blisse Furthermore he declareth who these are and by what workes the true members of the Church may be knowne that we may vnderstand that they are not al of the Church who are outwardlie conuersant in the Church But because there was but one certaine nation as yet comprehended vnder the couenant the Israëlites I meane and there was but one place certaine in the which the Church was bound to assemble that holie mountaine I meane in the which the Temple was then to be builded therefore doth Dauid chieflie make mention hereof and doth treate by the spirit of prophesie of the magnificent building of the Temple Yet doeth he exhort the people that they should not onlie regard the outward building and the outward rites and sacrifices but that they should chieflie giue their hearts vnto him that promised to dwel in the Temple And this same doctrine doth euen now at this daie declare the true vse of the sacraments and doth much more appertaine vnto vs vnto whome the truth is plainelie reuealed al the shadowes of the lawe being abolished than it did to the old fathers THE PARAPHRASIS 1 GOD is the Lord of the earth and of al things therin conteined euen of the whole world I saie and of al that dwel therein 2 For it is he that built the earth vpon the sea placed it to appeare aboue the flouds as we see 3 Howbeit he hath chosen vnto himselfe a certaine mountaine into the which loe who shal ascend and who shal stand in that place consecrate vnto him 4 Euen he whose hands are not polluted with wickednes that is of a pure heart which gapeth not for vaine things neither sweareth deceitfullie 5 Such a man shal receiue blessings of the Lord abundantlie and in the end shal find him a sauiour as he that can not lie hath promised 6 And this is thy true seede ô Iakob euen the generation of men that seeke God and present themselues before thee ô Lord. 7 O ye gates lift vp your postes mount vp I saie ye eternal gates that the King of glorie may enter 8 Who is this glorious king That same Lord strong and valiant that mightie warriour 9 Lift vp your head postes ô ye gates mount vp I saie you gates that this King of glorie may enter 10 Who is this glorious King The Lord of hoastes he is this King of glorie PSALME XXV The Argument This Psalme teacheth a forme of praier dailie to be vsed of the whole Church and of euerie one of the saintes of God wherein three things are requested euen by faith regarding the promises alreadie made vnto vs and confirming it selfe by the experience of former benefites The first is the free forgiuenesse of sinne The second that we may be gouerned by the holie Ghost in the whole course of our life that remaineth The third a defence from the iniuries of our enimies the which three do answere to the petitions of the Lords praier wherein we require to haue our sinnes forgiuen and that we be not led into temptation and to be deliuered from euil THE PARAPHRASIS 1 VNTO thee ô Lord I lift vp my whole heart 2 O my God my hope is onlie fixed in thee let me not be repulsed I beseech thee and put to shame and so be derided of mine enimies 3 And surelie thou wilt not suffer them that depend vpon thee to be put to shame but rather must these faithles persons that persecute the innocent be brought to shame 4 Graunt ô Lord that I may vnderstand in these so great perplexities and extremities what way thou appointest thine to walke and teach me thy pathes 5 Guide my steps in thy truth and teach me continualie for thou art he ô my God of whom I do looke faithfullie for my deliuerance 6 Be mindful ô Lord of thy mercies which thou hast shewed so oft to thy seruants and of thy manifold goodnes which thou hast declared in al ages 7 Contrariwise ô Lord forget al the follie of my youth and al my trespasses and remember me ô Lord of thy sin●ular mercie and goodnes 8 And why should not I thus hope seeing the Lord is merciful and true in his promises therfore doth he cal againe into the way the sinners that go astraie 9 He also after they be humbled made meete to learne doth teach them gentlie and meekelie and declareth how louinglie he vseth to gouerne his 10 Which waie so euer the Lord doth leade his his mercie appeareth as also how constantlie he keepeth his promise to them that keepe

the things that he hath iustlie gotten doe continue 4 That meeke merciful and iust God commandeth the light to arise vnto them that walke vprightlie in the midst of the darknes of calamities 5 A good man is also liberal he lendeth and gouerneth his things vprightlie and iustlie 6 Wherefore he shal neuer fai and his memorie shal be for euer 7 He shal be shaken with no slanders neither with anie euil tidings but setling his hope vpon the Lord shal constantlie confirme himselfe 8 By this meanes his heart being staied he wil couragiouslie wait whilest that he see his aduersaries suffer the iust reward of their wickednes 9 In what state soeuer he is he continueth to be liberal vnto the poore and remaineth iust wherefore he is increased dailie more and more with glorie and honour 10 The wicked seeing this his felicitie wil be greatlie greeued and wil gnash with their teeth but they shal consume awaie al their enterprises being brought to naught PSALME CXIII The Argument The Leuites which were appointed to sing do exhort themselues mutuallie in this Psalme to praise the loue of God towards man testified by manie benefits chieflie toward the miserable and poore such as were Ioseph Moses Dauid and Daniel vnto the which examples doubtles this Psalme hath respect like as that which treateth of the barren women verelie is to be referred to Sara Rebeccah Anna. But in the verie beginning streightwaies we are admonished that these praises are then onlie accepted when they proceed from the seruants of God and are giuen to that true God as he openeth himselfe in his word for this is meant by the name of Iehouah And seeing that the Leuitical priesthood is taken awaie and al we Christians are now consecrate to offer this sacrifice of praise before the throne of God it appeareth that this exhortation doth apperteine to al Christs Church THE PARAPHRASIS 1 PRaise ye praise ye I saie ô ye seruants of Iehouah the name of Iehouah 2 Let the blessed name of Iehouah be praised now and for euer 3 For most iust causes of praising and giuing vnto it al laud do declare themselues from the rising of the sun euerie-where vnto the setting of the same 4 The Lord doubtles hath a more high dominion than al the Gentiles and also he exalteth his glorie aboue the verie heauens 5 Is there anie like vnto the Lord our God which sitteth most gloriouslie in a most high place 6 And yet doth abase himselfe so lowe of his infinite goodnes that he beholdeth gouerneth both the things that are done in heauen and in earth 7 Wherefore this is he that raiseth vp the abiects and exalteth the miserable lieng in the dunghils 8 Whome he placeth among the princes among the princes I saie of his people 9 Finallie he causeth that they that were barren before and without comfort suddenlie being made mothers of manie children were filled with ioie Praise ye the Lord. PSALME CXIIII The Argument Jt probable that this elegant and excellent Psalme was sung especiallie in the feast of the passeouer which was appointed peculiarlie to celebrate the deliuerance out of Aegypt and the bringing in of them into the land of promise the which things seeing they were the figures of that true and euerlasting deliuerance by Christ from the most miserable bondage of Sathan sinne and death and of the bringing of vs into the verie heauen it i● plainlie perceiued how much more we than the old people are bound to celebrate so great mercie of God especiallie in our holie feast of thankesgiuing THE PARAPHRASIS 1 WHen Israël came out of Aegypt euen the posteritie of Iacob from that cruel people 2 The Lord did consecrate Iudah to himselfe and Israël for a people ouer whom he would chieflie rule 3 The sea did flie at his sight comming foorth of Aegypt least it should hinder his passage Iordan driuing her waters backward made it selfe passeable that he might come ouer 4 The verie mountaines the tops of the rocks as it were the hornes of rams beating together and the hils like lambes did leape 5 And wherefore ô sea diddest thou flie wherefore ô Iordan diddest thou driue back the waters 6 Wherefore ye mountaines like rams and why did ye hils like lambes so leape 7 Verelie it was meete that thou ô earth should● tremble at the sight of the Lord going before his people at the sight I saie of the God of Iacob 8 Who turned the rocke into pooles euen the head rocke into flowing waters PSALME CXV The Argument This Psalme doth containe an example of publike praiers conceiued with great boldnes for the preseruation of the Commonwealth against prophane nations though it is not euident what battel this was and to what times this Psalme is to be referred I do applie it to the historie of Iehosaphat 2. Chron. 20. or else suppose that it was indited for the Chu●ch generallie to some such vse Now besides manie excellent sentences it conteineth a notable comparison of the true God with the false and it teacheth furthermore verie plainlie that the last and chiefe end of our praiers ought to be not anie commodities of our owne but the onlie glorie of the true God THE PARAPHRASIS 1 THat we desire deliuerance out of this peril of thee ô Lord be it far from vs that we should aske it as due vnto anie righteousnes of ours neither that anie glorie or dignitie should arise thereof to vs but that rather thou shouldest prouide for thine owne name that is to saie that it may appeare plainlie thereby how liberal thou art in promising and how true in perfourming thy promises 2 For I beseech thee why doest thou suffer these men anie longer to aske in derision Where is their God 3 Our God ô cursed men of whome ye demand where he is is in the heauens indued with far greater maiestie than anie earthlie prince by whose power and also most free wil al things were created in the beginning and are euen now gouerned 4 But your idols if the matter be considered are gold and siluer and therefore dead things without al sense but if regard be had of the workmanship they are made by the hands of men 5 They haue a mouth and are dumbe what can they then answere you they haue eies and are blind what can they then see what is done here 6 They haue eares and are deafe wherefore then do ye powre out praiers vnto them they haue noses and smel nothing wherevnto then serueth the perfume and smel of sacrifices 7 They haue hands but touch nothing what can they then giue you they haue feet and can not go how then can they make haste to helpe you 8 And to speake al at one word what letteth it but that you your selues that worship them be as witlesse and senselesse as the verie stocks stones in whome ye trust 9 But thou Israël trust in the Lord the sure shield and defender of al them
