speak_v of_o popular_a happiness_n than_o such_o a_o king_n nor_o of_o celestial_a than_o such_o a_o prophet_n yet_o i_o mean_v not_o to_o discourse_v of_o it_o in_o the_o full_a latitude_n but_o only_o as_o it_o have_v a_o peculiar_a positure_n in_o this_o psalm_n very_o various_a and_o different_a from_o the_o order_n of_o other_o psalm_n in_o this_o psalm_n it_o be_v reserve_v to_o the_o end_n as_o the_o close_a of_o the_o forego_n meditation_n in_o other_o psalm_n it_o be_v set_v in_o the_o front_n or_o first_o place_n of_o all_o as_o in_o the_o 32_o in_o the_o 112_o in_o the_o 119_o and_o in_o the_o 128._o again_o in_o this_o the_o psalmist_n end_v with_o our_o blessedness_n and_o begin_v with_o god_n blessed_n be_v the_o lord_n my_o strength_n in_o the_o 41_o psalm_n contrary_a he_o make_v his_o exordium_n from_o man_n blessed_n be_v he_o that_o consider_v the_o poor_a his_o conclusion_n with_o god_n blessed_n be_v the_o lord_n god_n of_o israel_n i_o therefore_o observe_v these_o variation_n because_o they_o be_v helpful_a to_o the_o understanding_n both_o of_o the_o essence_n and_o splendour_n of_o true_a happiness_n to_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o essence_n they_o help_v because_o they_o demonstrate_v how_o our_o own_o happiness_n be_v enfold_v in_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n and_o subordinate_a unto_o it_o as_o we_o can_v begin_v with_o beatus_fw-la unless_o we_o end_v with_o benedictus_n so_o we_o must_v begin_v with_o benedictus_n that_o we_o may_v end_v with_o beatus_fw-la the_o reason_n be_v this_o because_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n it_o be_v as_o well_o the_o consummation_n as_o the_o introduction_n to_o a_o christian_n happiness_n therefore_o as_o in_o the_o other_o psalm_n he_o begin_v below_o and_o end_n upward_o so_o in_o this_o have_v begin_v from_o above_o with_o that_o which_o be_v principal_a bless_a be_v the_o lord_n he_o fix_v his_o second_o thought_n upon_o the_o subordinate_a bless_a or_o happy_a be_v the_o people_n he_o can_v not_o proceed_v in_o a_o better_a order_n he_o first_o look_v up_o to_o god_n kingdom_n then_o reflect_v upon_o his_o own_o as_o not_o mean_v to_o take_v blessedness_n before_o he_o have_v give_v it_o there_o be_v no_o man_n can_v think_v but_o this_o be_v the_o best_a method_n it_o be_v the_o method_n of_o saint_n as_o we_o see_v 1._o sam._n 25.32_o 33._o and_o 2._o chron._n 31.8_o first_o bless_a be_v the_o god_n of_o israel_n then_o bless_a be_v the_o people_n of_o israel_n nay_o it_o be_v the_o method_n of_o angel_n 2.14_o luke_n 2.14_o they_o first_o sing_v glory_n to_o

to_o give_v be_v the_o way_n to_o get_v both_o to_o get_v the_o thing_n and_o to_o get_v the_o great_a degree_n it_o be_v a_o undeniable_a consequence_n if_o beatitude_n be_v the_o ultimate_a end_n
