many_o verse_n of_o that_o psalm_n particular_o the_o 9th_o and_o 10_o be_v think_v to_o allude_v to_o the_o condition_n of_o the_o israelite_n in_o the_o wilderness_n who_o stubbornness_n god_n

who_o will_v have_v think_v so_o if_o the_o title_n have_v not_o direct_v interpreter_n to_o apply_v it_o to_o the_o state_n of_o israel_n in_o the_o wilderness_n the_o title_n occasion_v this_o application_n and_o it_o be_v not_o the_o application_n which_o occasion_v the_o title_n as_o he_o without_o reason_n imagine_v here_o as_o in_o many_o other_o psalm_n the_o title_n be_v a_o key_n that_o open_v the_o design_n and_o meaning_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n in_o the_o body_n of_o the_o psalm_n as_o we_o find_v well_o observe_v by_o the_o late_a learned_a archbishop_n sancroft_n in_o a_o sermon_n upon_o a_o public_a occasion_n on_o psalm_n 57_o 1._o but_o say_v our_o author_n if_o the_o title_n refer_v to_o passage_n of_o history_n not_o mention_v in_o the_o body_n of_o the_o psalm_n this_o be_v a_o good_a argument_n that_o they_o be_v not_o canonical_a but_o the_o conjecture_n of_o mere_a man_n which_o be_v the_o reason_n i_o suppose_v why_o many_o psalm_n have_v no_o

sufficient_a they_o be_v mention_v in_o the_o title_n and_o that_o there_o be_v nothing_o in_o the_o psalm_n that_o be_v inconsistent_a with_o it_o nay_o the_o whole_a sweet_o agree_v therewith_o and_o be_v better_a understand_v by_o the_o help_n of_o the_o title_n that_o lead_v we_o to_o the_o scope_n and_o occasion_n of_o it_o which_o otherwise_o will_v be_v more_o obscure_a and_o not_o so_o intelligible_a 2_o several_a psalm_n have_v no_o title_n at_o all_o and_o that_o be_v a_o argument_n they_o be_v not_o additional_a conjecture_n for_o the_o same_o hand_n may_v have_v give_v

the_o title_n be_v not_o conjecture_n of_o man_n but_o the_o dictate_v of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n it_o have_v be_v a_o easy_a thing_n for_o bold_a conjecturer_n to_o have_v add_v some_o sort_n of_o title_n to_o such_o as_o be_v without_o and_o have_v the_o wit_n of_o man_n the_o order_n of_o the_o matter_n it_o will_v have_v render_v they_o more_o uniform_a and_o give_v they_o the_o same_o feature_n and_o will_v not_o have_v bestow_v title_n upon_o some_o and_o leave_v other_o without_o 3_o it_o will_v have_v look_v more_o modest_a in_o the_o rector_n to_o have_v say_v we_o understand_v
