manifest_a that_o he_o be_v so_o notable_a a_o prophet_n of_o god_n and_o a_o man_n so_o dear_a and_o acceptable_a unto_o god_n if_o so_o be_v therefore_o he_o have_v at_o any_o time_n or_o in_o any_o

dracle_n but_o sure_o he_o in_o this_o psalm_n meddle_v with_o a_o other_o matter_n take_v upon_o he_o of_o purpose_n to_o ha●●●ls_n this_o only_a question_n and_o be_v take_v in_o hand_n do_v so_o exact_o decipher_v and_o unfold_v the_o same_o as_o that_o no_o man_n unless_o he_o will_v himself_o if_o he_o mark_v he_o well_o need_v to_o err_v or_o he_o deceive_v about_o it_o therefore_o let_v we_o with_o clear_a and_o resolute_a mind_n hear_v he_o expound_v this_o matter_n unto_o us._n in_o the_o first_o verse_n of_o this_o psalm_n he_o propound_v the_o question_n and_o be_v propound_v he_o then_o after_o unfold_v in_o the_o verse_n follow_v and_o finallye_o conclude_v it_o in_o the_o last_o thus_o then_o he_o put_v it_o forth_o o_o lord_n who_o shall_v dwell_v in_o thy_o tabernacle_n and_o thus_o by_o and_o by_o with_o a_o great_a vehemency_n he_o repeat_v to_o the_o great_a attention_n though_o in_o word_n somewhat_o alter_v say_v who_o shall_v rest_v in_o thy_o holy_a hill_n and_o this_o thus_o propound_v he_o lay_v out_o afterward_o by_o many_o effect_n in_o this_o sort_n even_o he_o say_v he_o that_o walk_v upright_o and_o woork_v righteousness_n and_o speak_v the_o truth_n from_o his_o hart_n he_o that_o slaunder_v not_o with_o his_o tongue_n nor_o do_v evil_a to_o his_o neighbour_n nor_o receive_v a_o false_a report_n against_o his_o neighbour_n he_o that_o set_v not_o by_o a_o vile_a person_n but_o honour_v they_o that_o fear_v the_o lord_n he_o that_o swear_v and_o careful_o perform_v his_o oath_n he_o that_o neither_o give_v his_o money_n to_o usury_n nor_o pervert_v iudgementhy_a take_v reward_n thus_o the_o question_n be_v decide_v he_o conclude_v he_o that_o do_v these_o thing_n say_v he_o shall_v never_o be_v cast_v out_o of_o the_o house_n of_o god_n now_o them_z it_o be_v manifest_a which_o we_o say_v that_o david_n in_o this_o place_n undertake_v of_o purpose_n to_o handle_v and_o unfold_v this_o question_n therefore_o it_o remain_v that_o we_o harken_v unto_o he_o with_o all_o diligence_n to_o the_o end_n we_o may_v perceive_v what_o he_o say_v and_o what_o his_o meaning_n be_v for_o which_o cause_n we_o will_v now_o prosecute_v every_o thing_n somewhat_o more_o at_o large_a the_o question_n he_o propound_v first_o of_o all_o with_o a_o certain_a exclamation_n to_o the_o intent_n he_o may_v bewray_v the_o great_a affection_n of_o his_o mind_n and_o stir_v we_o up_o the_o more_o to_o attention_n but_o he_o propound_v it_o which_o may_v seem_v very_o strange_a not_o to_o man_n as_o he_o ought_v to_o have_v do_v but_o to_o god_n o_o lord_n say_v he_o who_o shall_v dwell_v in_o thy_o tabernacle_n because_o man_n pervie_a in_o this_o case_n be_v blind_a and_o god_n be_v only_o the_o fit_a judge_n and_o therefore_o that_o this_o so_o weighty_a a_o question_n may_v with_o the_o great_a authortrie_n be_v determine_v david_n will_v dispute_v it_o in_o the_o presence_n of_o god_n himself_o and_o before_o his_o judgement_n seat_n that_o we_o may_v be_v give_v to_o understand_v that_o the_o thing_n which_o be_v here_o utter_v be_v the_o certain_a undoubted_a oracle_n of_o god_n for_o this_o cause_n therefore_o let_v man_n go_v who_o be_v too_o too_o much_o blindfolded_a especial_o in_o this_o matter_n he_o call_v god_n himself_o to_o witness_v or_o rather_o to_o be_v the_o judge_n of_o this_o controversy_n as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v o_o god_n i_o now_o appeal_v unto_o thou_o that_o thou_o be_v my_o witness_n and_o judge_v i_o may_v teach_v man_n which_o be_v the_o certain_a and_o undoubted_a way_n to_o eternal_a life_n touch_v the_o which_o all_o man_n upon_o earth_n do_v so_o great_o strive_v among_o themselves_o all_o general_o covet_v to_o have_v it_o but_z the_o grete_a number_n go_v astray_o from_o it_o and_o we_o be_v to_o mark_v that_o in_o both_o the_o member_n of_o this_o first_o verse_n david_n set_v before_o we_o the_o heavenly_a and_o bless_a life_n in_o the_o tabernacle_n and_o in_o mount_n zion_n for_o he_o do_v not_o demand_n who_o shall_v one_o day_n enjoy_v everlasting_a life_n in_o heaven_n but_o who_o shall_v dwell_v in_o the_o tabernacle_n that_o moses_n have_v erect_v among_o the_o israelit_n and_o abide_v in_o that_o holy_a mountain_n but_o all_o be_v one_o in_o effect_n for_o why_o that_o tabernacle_n and_o that_o mount_v zion_n be_v a_o figure_n of_o the_o heavenly_a tabernacle_n and_o of_o eternal_a life_n as_o appear_v by_o infinite_a place_n of_o the_o holy_a scripture_n and_o that_o this_o be_v so_o to_o be_v understand_v may_v appéer_o by_o that_o that_o if_o he_o have_v mean_v only_o of_o the_o outward_a tabernacle_n and_o mount_n he_o will_v not_o have_v ask_v who_o shall_v dwell_v in_o they_o for_o they_o be_v appoint_v to_o the_o jew_n and_o it_o be_v lawful_a for_o all_o aswell_o good_a as_o bad_a to_o be_v conversant_a in_o they_o but_o david_n put_v a_o difference_n between_o the_o good_a and_o the_o evil_a and_o respect_v the_o end_n of_o the_o tabernacle_n erect_v &_o consider_v mount_n zion_n after_o a_o spiritual_a manner_n demand_v who_o shall_v rest_v and_o abide_v there_o for_o he_o that_o by_o faith_n frequent_v that_o tabernable_a and_o mountain_n be_v sure_a to_o be_v partaker_n of_o the_o life_n eternal_a and_o heavenly_a whereof_o these_o be_v tip_n and_o figure_n on_o earth_n therefore_o it_o be_v all_o one_o as_o if_o he_o have_v express_o demand_v who_o shall_v be_v partaker_n of_o eternal_a life_n which_o question_n afterward_o he_o expound_v at_o large_a that_o be_v to_o say_v by_o eleven_o sundry_a effect_n draw_v from_o he_o that_o earnest_o endever_v after_o the_o same_o bless_a life_n every_o of_o which_o be_v of_o we_o to_o be_v weigh_v but_o yet_o so_o as_o have_v regard_n of_o the_o place_n and_o time_n we_o may_v bréefelye_o teach_v they_o which_o otherwise_o if_o the_o time_n will_v suffer_v be_v well_o worthy_a to_o be_v long_o stand_v upon_o in_o the_o first_o verse_n therefore_o wherein_o he_o begin_v to_o unfold_v the_o question_n he_o say_v that_o he_o shall_v be_v partaker_n of_o the_o heavenlye_a life_n that_o so_o long_o as_o he_o live_v this_o short_a and_o transitory_a life_n here_o upon_o earth_n do_v so_o behave_v himself_o that_o he_o become_v sound_a and_o upright_o and_o embrace_v continual_o righteousness_n &_o truth_n which_o word_n be_v general_a and_o have_v a_o very_a large_a signification_n insomuch_o that_o they_o may_v contain_v even_o the_o whole_a perfection_n of_o the_o law_n that_o may_v be_v call_v sound_n or_o

of_o all_o good_a thing_n beside_o that_o over_o and_o above_o his_o necessary_a use_n he_o have_v also_o wherein_o consider_v god_n bounty_n and_o liberality_n towards_o he_o he_o may_v recreate_v

of_o his_o great_a goodness_n towards_o they_o they_o may_v the_o more_o willing_o and_o cheerful_o serve_v he_o but_o that_o which_o he_o set_v down_o in_o the_o last_o verse_n be_v especial_o to_o

wherein_o he_o declare_v what_o he_o look_v for_o at_o god_n hand_n for_o if_o so_o be_v a_o prince_n shall_v make_v some_o one_o of_o a_o poor_a man_n scotfree_a or_o of_o base_a degree_n noble_a

that_o he_o be_v not_o to_o fear_v any_o such_o fall_n but_o rather_o say_v he_o god_n will_v always_o pursue_v i_o with_o his_o liberality_n and_o love_a kindness_n declare_v that_o the_o chance_n of_o fortune_n as_o they_o be_v call_v though_o they_o be_v sundry_a &_o uncertain_a yet_o be_v not_o to_o be_v fear_v of_o those_o who_o have_v god_n to_o be_v their_o god_n and_o in_o the_o last_o

where_o he_o entreat_v of_o the_o happiness_n of_o the_o body_n and_o of_o the_o lif●_n present_a for_o david_n have_v say_v that_o all_o thinger_n necessary_a for_o this_o life_n shall_v be_v

heavenlye_a life_n which_o be_v to_o remain_v for_o ever_o most_o happy_a and_o bless_a of_o this_o therefore_o he_o speak_v in_o this_o verse_n and_o first_o david_n say_v that_o he_o shall_v not_o only_o enjoy_v so_o many_o benefit_n appertain_v to_o the_o commodious_a pass_v of_o this_o life_n and_o live_v honorablye_o at_o home_n in_o his_o own_o house_n but_o which_o be_v much_o more_o that_o he_o shall_v abide_v in_o the_o house_n of_o god_n to_o wit_n in_o the_o church_n that_o be_v to_o say_v that_o he_o be_v endue_v with_o the_o sincere_a knowledge_n of_o god_n shall_v always_o pure_o and_o reverentlye_o worship_n he_o in_o the_o church_n wherein_o consist_v the_o food_n and_o life_n of_o the_o soul_n and_o where_o he_o make_v mention_n of_o the_o continuance_n of_o time_n there_o be_v no_o doubt_n but_o that_o in_o these_o word_n be_v conclude_v the_o hope_n of_o the_o heavenly_a and_o everlasting_a life_n for_o that_o church_n or_o temple_n of_o jerusalem_n be_v a_o

to_o be_v enter_v heb._n 9_o so_o then_o there_o be_v no_o question_n but_o that_o david_n lift_v up_o his_o mind_n to_o that_o most_o bless_a life_n when_o he_o thus_o speak_v and_o that_o he_o

this_o seem_v right_o worthy_a to_o be_v diligent_o inquire_v lest_o when_o all_o man_n do_v earnest_o desire_v this_o thing_n yet_o miss_v of_o the_o way_n that_o lede_v unto_o it_o they_o fall_v

which_o if_o we_o will_v diligent_o keep_v we_o may_v easy_o attain_v unto_o it_o and_o the_o whole_a description_n of_o this_o happiness_n stand_v as_o we_o say_v in_o the_o beginning_n upon_o this_o

everye_o one_o conclude_v that_o will_v follow_v david_n example_n and_o godliness_n to_o wit_n in_o this_o wise_a no_o man_n that_o have_v god_n to_o be_v his_o shepherd_n shall_v ever_o want_v any_o

that_o particular_a whereby_o david_n apply_v unto_o himself_o that_o which_o be_v common_a to_o all_o the_o faithful_a and_o therefore_o that_o we_o may_v attain_v unto_o this_o happiness_n it_o stand_v whole_o in_o this_o that_o god_n may_v be_v our_o shepherd_n for_o if_o this_o be_v obtain_v than_o he_o lead_v we_o along_o to_o the_o pleasant_a pasture_n and_o to_o the_o still_o run_v

in_o all_o danger_n ready_o prepare_v with_o his_o shepherd_n crook_n and_o rod_n to_o defend_v we_o so_o that_o we_o shall_v never_o need_v to_o fear_v any_o thing_n no_o though_o we_o be_v so_o near_o unto_o death_n that_o we_o be_v already_o under_o the_o shadow_n of_o it_o he_o will_v prepare_v a_o table_n for_o we_o in_o the_o sight_n of_o our_o enemy_n he_o will_v anoint_v our_o head_n he_o will_v fill_v our_o cup_n full_a of_o pure_a wine_n and_o will_v always_o follow_v we_o with_o his_o so_o great_a and_o singular_a favour_n neither_o will_v he_o nourish_v we_o only_o at_o home_n in_o our_o own_o house_n but_o he_o will_v convey_v we_o also_o into_o he_o that_o be_v addopt_v by_o he_o we_o may_v dwell_v and_o abide_v with_o he_o and_o when_o this_o life_n shall_v have_v a_o

may_v attain_v this_o one_o thing_n namely_o that_o god_n may_v be_v our_o shepherd_n for_o if_o so_o be_v he_o will_v become_v our_o shepherd_n we_o may_v safe_o commit_v ourselves_o &_o our_o life_n
