thy_o wing_n will_v i_o make_v my_o refuge_n until_o these_o calamity_n be_v overpast_a what_o st._n hierom_n observe_v long_o since_o concern_v this_o book_n of_o psalm_n titulos_fw-la esse_fw-la clave_n that_o the_o title_n be_v usual_o the_o true_a key_n of_o david_n to_o set_v open_a the_o psalm_n to_o we_o and_o to_o let_v we_o into_o the_o true_a understanding_n of_o it_o he_o learn_v probable_o from_o a_o former_a author_n with_o who_o write_n he_o be_v in_o his_o young_a year_n much_o delight_v origen_n i_o mean_v 59_o who_o in_o his_o tome_n upon_o the_o psalm_n discourse_v of_o some_o obscurity_n in_o holy_a scripture_n and_o the_o proper_a remedy_n thereof_o give_v we_o yet_o a_o more_o ancient_a tradition_n which_o he_o receive_v as_o he_o say_v from_o a_o learned_a jew_n that_o the_o whole_a body_n of_o scripture_n be_v like_o a_o great_a house_n in_o which_o be_v several_a apartment_n and_o therein_o many_o room_n shut_v up_o and_o in_o they_o again_o many_o cabinet_n and_o box_n lock_v down_o nor_o hang_v the_o proper_a key_n at_o every_o door_n but_o they_o lie_v scatter_v here_o and_o there_o and_o counterchanged_a so_o that_o it_o require_v some_o pain_n and_o skill_n to_o find_v they_o out_o and_o apply_v they_o aright_o thus_o the_o key_n of_o the_o prophetic_a scripture_n lie_v in_o the_o historical_a where_o we_o often_o find_v both_o the_o occasion_n of_o the_o prophecy_n and_o the_o event_n too_o and_o that_o prove_v usual_o the_o best_a interpreter_n thus_o the_o act_n of_o the_o apostle_n which_o contain_v the_o peregrination_n and_o gest_n of_o st._n paul_n be_v a_o great_a master-key_n to_o open_v his_o epistle_n and_o to_o unlock_v to_o we_o many_o thing_n hard_o otherwise_o to_o be_v understand_v in_o they_o and_o thus_o in_o the_o present_a instance_n david_n history_n be_v the_o proper_a key_n to_o david_n psalter_n and_o so_o the_o book_n of_o samuel_n the_o king_n and_o chronicle_n the_o best_a and_o most_o authentic_a

whence_o to_o fetch_v it_o and_o while_o the_o title_n date_n it_o from_o the_o cave_n we_o be_v plain_o direct_v to_o 1_o sam._n xxiv_o there_o we_o find_v the_o holy_a man_n in_o a_o great_a strait_n of_o affliction_n wander_v like_o a_o exile_n or_o bandito_n in_o the_o wilderness_n of_o engedi_n the_o few_o man_n he_o have_v straggle_a and_o shift_v for_o themselves_o upon_o the_o

on_o every_o side_n and_o little_a hope_n leave_v he_o of_o escape_v with_o his_o life_n it_o be_v then_o that_o he_o sigh_v out_o his_o al-taschith_a as_o this_o and_o the_o two_o follow_a psalm_n
