to see the goodness of Iehovah in the land of the living which doth too much imprison the sense and confine it to that one particular which is not the weightiest neither For that expression except I had believed this doth take in all the experimental cases mentioned in that psalm except I had believed I had been afraid of men when they made battle against me to eat my flesh I had dreaded my distressers and my enemies my heart had been afraid when a pitched Host pitched against me when war rose up against me except he had believed his heart had not been confirmed and strong waiting and expecting when he was banished and driven from the house of Jehovah where he longed to sit all the dayes of his life to view in the pleasantness of Jehovah and to enquire in his Palace except he had believed this what should he have done in the day of evil how could he in such a case have been confident that Jehovah would keep him privily in His pavilion that he would keep him secret in the secret of his Tent and that he would exalt him on a Rock and that his head should be lifted up above his enemies round about him that he should Sacrifice in his Tent Sacrifices of shouting and sing Psalms to Jehovah except he had believed this how could he have lived to his comfort and Satisfaction that though his Father and his Mother would forsake him yet Jehovah would not leave nor forsake him but be his Saviour and gather him except he had believed this how could he have kept an even frame of spirit when he had so many envyers when he was in such danger to be given to the Soul to the will and lust of his Distressers For witnesses of Falshood did stand up against him and the man who breathed violent wrong how injuriously therefore do they charge the Scriptures as if they were no perfect Rule because of such imperfect Speeches as they miscal them whereas this Psalm has the greater Fulness and more Perfection by this means as has been shewn In (q) Psa 109. 4. the one hundredth and ninth Psalm For my love they my slanderous enemies are adversaries to me and I give my self to Prayer here the Translators put in four words of their own which are Give my self to whereas the original is And I Prayer this doth set out one singular truth Duty grace and experience concerning prayer for besides the Several Passages in this Psalm to which it doth relate and concerning which it doth afford a choice either Prevention or remedy as to heart-akes Soul-sicknesses and bodily ailes it doth contain in it An excellent Directory for Prayer when a Believer under such trying cases is at prayer he should be All prayer his whole man should be all ingaged in prayer he should go to Jehovah in Prayer to Jehovah the father to Jehovah the Son to Christ as Mediator to Jehovah the holy spirit to a proper word and to suitable promises in prayer he should see that Graces in their places be acted in prayer he should pray in prayer thus Prayer should be prayer prayer well filled up How much beyond the Translator's-Supplement would this Scripture-expression lead an experienced beleiver Take an instance in the New Testament When the Mother of Zebedees Children came unto Christ desiring a certain thing of Him even to grant that those her two Sons whom she brought along with her to him might sit the one on his Right hand and the other on his Left in His Kingdom one part of Christ's answer was (r) Mat. 20. 23. that to sit on his Right hand and on his Left was not his to give but the Translators put in of their own It shall be given to them these five or six words they add for whom it is prepared of my father If an ignorant Teacher of an ignorant People were to raise Doctrines from this clause they were like to be these two One that to Sit on Christs right hand and on his left is not Christs to give The other that to Sit on Christs right hand and on his left shall be given to them for whom it is prepared of Christs Father These two seem very fairly rightly drawn from the words as translated in English and yet the former of these two is a False Doctrine For it is Christs to give as other (s) Rev. 3. 21.
