ô Lord and I do seeke thy face 9 Turne not away ô Lord neither reiect thy seruant in thine anger thou wilt yet helpe me leaue me not neither forsake me ô my sauiour 10 Though I be destitute of al mans helpe yea euen forsaken of my verie parents yet thou ô Lord wilt succour me 11 Teach me the waie that I should walke and make plaine the path-way vnto me against whom so manie enimies do lie in wait 12 Giue me not vp to the lust of mine enimies for they are risen vp against me which are not ashamed to lie or to commit anie wickednes 13 Yet I trust that I shal be safe and comfortablie enioie the Lords benefites 14 Go to Dauid waite vpon the Lord with a couragious and constant heart waite vpon the Lord I saie PSALME XXVIII The Argument Dauid in this Psalme susteining the person not of a priuate man but of a publike euen of a king appointed by God himselfe praieth for himselfe and for Gods people with such confidence although he could not liue safelie no not as a priuate person in the kingdome of Saul that he giueth thankes for his petition graunted alreadie And he addeth certaine praiers vndoutedlie by the spirit of prophesie against al such as persecute the Church not by ignorance or sudden affection but of set purpose and obstinate malice Wherevnto appertaine those things that are written 1. Sam. 23.17 and 24.21 THE PARAPHRASIS 1 I Call vpon thee ô Lord my defence be not deafe at my crie for if thou keepe silence I shal differ nothing from them that die and are laied in the earth 2 Heare my praiers therefore whilest I may crie and regard me that stretch vp my hands to that thy most holie sanctuarie 3 Count not me ô Lord amongest these wicked men who reioice in wickednes who wil offer in words al duties of friendship and to be at commandement but in their hearts they haue most wicked deuises 4 Giue vnto them their worthie reward euen that which their wicked deedes deserue recompence them I saie according to their desert 5 For seeing they hinder the worke that thou hast determined to bring to passe both willinglie and wittinglie certainelie thou wilt destroie them ô Lord much lesse wilt thou increase them with thy blessings 6 I giue thankes therefore vnto the Lord which hath heard my praiers 7 The Lord is my strength and my shield this is he in whom my heart doth rest hauing experience of his support he for ful conclusion comforteth my heart him wil I praise 8 The Lord strengtheneth his seruants neither wil thine annointed trust to anie other 9 Deliuer thy people ô God and declare thy fauour towards them whom thou hast chosen peculiarlie to be thine feede them and extoll them vp for euer PSALME XXIX The Argument Whereas no men commonlie vse to be more proud and to shew themselues in the end despisers of the verie maiestie of God than they to whome God hath made others subiect to be gouerned by them so that they chalenge vnto themselues to be honoured as gods and suppose that they may do what they lust vnto others this Psalme teacheth Kings and Princes peculiarlie by the comparison of their power how great soeuer it be with that infinite power of GOD which doth vtter it selfe in the terrible thunders and other tempestes and their effects to remember rather how farre they are abased vnder his power and of whome and vpon what condition they haue receiued their authoritie rather than to be proud that they are aboue a few mortal men for a little season Againe seeing that the kings them-selues are oftentimes sotted and demented by the flatterie of the people he admonisheth them that be of God that they be content to obey their magistrates as Gods ministers yet that they learne to depend onlie of God and to wait for al good things from him THE PARAPHRASIS 1 O Ye kings and al ye of power giue place vnto the Lord giue vnto the Lord I saie the honour of al glorie and power 2 Giue vnto the Lord the maiestie and glorie due vnto his name and fal downe and worship him in that his most beautiful temple 3 This is that Lord whose voice thundering foorth of the midst of the waters doth witnesse himselfe with such a lowd sounding voice to be the verie God of glorie euen by that voice I saie which breaketh foorth of the midst of the clouds driuen by tempests 4 The voice of the Lord is verie mightie the voice of the Lord is ful of maiestie 5 The voice of the Lord breaketh the most high Ceders of Libanus 6 And he plucketh them vp by the rootes and causeth them to skip like a wanton bullocke and he causeth those most mightie mountaines to tremble and to shake 7 The voice of the Lord doth cast foorth fire striken out of the verie clouds 8 The voice of the Lord doth shake the horrible wildernes and the high rockes of the Arabians 9 The voice of the Lord causeth the hindes to cast their calues and maketh the woods bare by casting downe their trees with terrible noise the godlie in the meane season praising him in his temple 10 By him commeth the horrible flouds of waters but ●o that he sitteth as gouernour ouer them for the Lord is King for euer 11 This is he that giueth power to his people euen the Lord that blesseth his people with continual benefites PSALME XXX The Argument Jt is verie probable that Dauid made this Psalme when Abshalom and Sheba were slaine and he returned into the citie as it is declared 2. Sam. 20. when he would purge his house and as it were consecrate it a new vnto God that was polluted by the incest of his sonne and other wickednes wherein there appeareth some ceremonie to haue bin vsed as appeareth by the historie of Nehemia in dedicating the walles of the citie and by dedicating the house Deut. 20 5. And he giueth great thankes therefore vnto God to whose onlie mercie he doth giue the praise of this his restoring to his kingdome so sudden euen done as it were in a moment And he doth also confesse that it came to passe by his owne foolish securitie that GOD did breake off the continuance of publike peace and other his benefites THE PARAPHRASIS 1 I Wil magnifie thee ô Lord my deliuerer which hast not suffered mine enimies to triumph ouer me 2 I haue cried vnto thee ô Lord my God and thou hast saued me that was readie to die 3 Thou hast deliuered me ô Lord from the verie graue and hast restored life vnto me who should else haue gone downe into the pit 4 Sing with me vnto the Lord al ye that are receiued to his mercie and celebrate his memorie with perpetual praise 5 For in one moment doth his anger end but his fauour endureth to the end of our life so that if we go to bed in the euening with sorowe in the

knowe that ye haue bene enimies to iustice from your beginning and that you were borne vnto al falshood from your mothers wombe 4 I saie these men swel with poison euen by their nature as the verie serpents doe neither wil they suffer this poison to be drawne out of them by anie persuasion 5 In this point being like the adder which stoppeth her eare against the inchanters be they neuer so cunning 6 But thou ô God vnto whome I appeale pul out the teeth foorth of the mouthes of these most cruel persons breake the iawes ô Lord of these lions that they doe not deuoure the innocent 7 And I pronounce in verie deede that it wil so come to passe For al their power shal vanish and flowe away like water and though they bend their bowes with al their force whereby they may strike the iust their shaftes no doubt shal breake in peeces 8 They shal be brought to naught euen like the snailes that mealt awaie in their owne shels and like the vntimelie fruite of a woman that dieth and is borne together 9 And their posteritie euen worthie children for such fathers like thornes growing out of the bush before they growe to sharpe pricks so shal they be destroied with sudden death carried awaie as it were with a whirle-wind 10 But the iust beholding this iust iudgement of God and imbrued with the bloud of the wicked shal reioice 11 And euerie one shal saie Surelie he loseth not his labour that loueth righteousnes Surelie there is a God in the earth that doth also giue to euerie man his owne PSALME LIX The Argument Dauid did write this Psalme when his house was beset by the commandement of Saule that he might be taken and slaine as the Hebrue title importeth the historie is read 1. Sam. 19. and the same vse is of this Psalme as of the former of like argument but it hath this excellent sentence amongst others That it is oftentimes expedient that God should not beate downe the enimies of his Church at one moment but by little and little that his iudgements might thereby be more euident and plaine of the which doctrine there commeth much profite especiallie to bridle our impatience THE PARAPHRASIS 1 DEliuer me my God from mine enimies and euen taking me vp as it were in thine owne hand rid me from these men that rise vp against me 2 Deliuer me from these men that liue in mischiefe and murther 3 For lo they partlie lie in wait for my life and partlie the most mightie of them do gather their power against me though I be guiltie of no fault 4 They come on heapes together they strengthen themselues against the innocent more and more Consider these things ô God and come and helpe me being in danger 5 I beseech thee ô Lord the verie God to whom the heauenlie armies doe obeie God of Israël rise vp and punish these prophane people and spare them not being giuen vp willinglie to al wickednes 6 For after that they haue spent the whole daie in lieng in wait for me they returne at night run through the streets of the citie barking like dogs 7 Furthermore in the darke of the night for who saie they shal heare vs they barke out the wickednes conceiued in their heart and sound nothing but slaughter and bloud being wholie bent how to take me 8 But thou ô Lord wilt deride their threatnings and wilt haue al those prophane men in derision 9 Surelie his strength doth depend of thy pleasure wherefore as these doe lie in wait about my house so againe I wil diligentlie wait for thy helpe For thou verelie ô God art my fortresse 10 For thou hast embraced me verelie with so great fauour euen preuenting my praiers that thou wilt graunt mee that I shal ioifullie behold mine aduersareis to haue their iust punishment 11 Yet slaie them not ô my God least peraduenture this people whome thou hast appointed to be gouerned by me if thou take them awaie so suddenlie either do not consider this thy iudgement or forget it by and by but scatter them beeing throwne downe by thy force and throwe them downe by the same power by the which thou wilt defend me 12 Surelie there needeth none other witnes but their owne words to conuince them of wickednes graunt therefore that they beeing conuicted by their owne arrogancie may be punished For they haue none other thing in their mouth but cursings and slanders 13 Wherefore at the length when thou hast set them foorth as a sufficient example whereby thy seruants maie be taught consume them wholie consume them I saie being most iustlie angrie with them that al men may knowe vnto the vttermost parts of the world that thou art that true and onlie God which gouernest the familie of Iacob 14 But what wil they do in the meane time euen lie in wait for thy seruant about his owne house and returning in the euening they wil barke like dogs and run about the citie least I escape anie waie 15 And they wil seeke their supper where soeuer they can get it but though they doe not finde enough to fil their greedie guts yet wil they watch about my house for to take me 16 But I wil declare thy power and wil shew foorth thy praise earlie in the morning because thou hast defended me and wast my refuge in extreame danger 17 For al my helpe resteth onlie in thee therefore though I be now closed in on euerie side yet wil I declare thy praise vpon the harpe which hast set me in safetie ô God to whose onelie free mercie I attribute my deliuerance PSALME LX. The Argument The Hebrue title declareth that the historie which is written 2. Sam. 8. and 1. Chron. 23. hath ministred the occasion for this Psalme that is to saie the battel that he had with the Assyrians and the king of Zobah whome Dauid ouercame as he did also al the people about him as he prophesied before by the power of the spirit in this Psalme For the order of the text seemeth not to suffer that we should saie that it was written after those victories And we learne amongest other things by this praier written in the name of the whole people that though the Church seeme sometimes to be vtterlie lost as it came to passe oft in the time of the Iudges and chieflie when Saule was slaine that God yet mindful of his couenant doth raise vp the banner of his word afterward more high than euer before stirring vp men indued with heroical spirites But we must remember that th●se things are now to be applied rather to the spiritual enimies of the Church than against the armies that fight with outward weapon although God also doth defend his from them THE PARAPHRASIS 1 O God thou verelie art worthily angrie with vs thou hast beaten vs backe and deliuered vs to the rage of the Philistins yea and thou hast set one of vs at war

them whome they loued so greatlie before and they now laboured by subtiltie to circumuent them 26 Yet did he neuer forsake them but when their case seemed vtterlie desperate he sent Moses his seruant and Aaron whom he had chosen to succour them 27 And they as they were commanded of God when they were sent did worke those great signes and wonders in the land of Cham. 28 Wherefore the Lord did send darknes vpon the Aegyptians which came so soone as the Lord commanded 29 He turned their waters into bloud and killed their fishes in the verie waters 30 Swarmes of frogs came streightwaie foorth of the earth at his commandement and went into the verie chambers of their king 31 At the voice of his commandement swarmes of flies and lice came foorth in al the coasts of Aegypt 32 He rained downe stones from heauen and horrible flames of lightnings did run through al Aegypt 33 With these darts he beat downe their vines and figtrees and he did breake downe al the trees that were set in those borders 34 By his commandement grashoppers and caterpillers being stirred vp came foorth without number and deuoured euerie herbe and consumed al the fruits of the earth 35 Moreouer he did slaie their first borne that is euen the chiefe of al their families 36 Finallie when al this was done he brought foorth his people loden with gold and siluer al healthful and indued with strength 37 Aegypt was glad at their departure which before was greatlie afraid of them 38 He couered them as they went foorth in the daie time with a cloud against the heat of the sun and in the night least they should wander to and fro he went before them and lead them with the brightnes of a shining firie piller 39 They desired quailes which were giuen at their desire and they were satiate with bread sent downe from heauen 40 God brake the rocks for them whence water did flowe yea euen riuers did run foorth 41 And this did he euen mindful of those things which he the holie one in times past had couenanted with his seruant Abraham 42 Thus then he brought foorth his people to wit his elect glad and ioiful 43 Vnto whom he gaue those countries that were possessed of sundrie people hauing obteined with great ease whatsoeuer the inhabitants thereof had gotten with great trauel and paines 44 Namelie that they being placed there because that the former inhabitants had prophaned the land with filthie superstitions and vile lusts they should obserue the statutes and lawes giuen them of the Lord. Praise ye the Lord therefore PSALME CVI. The Argument J suppose that this Psalme euen as the 126. is to be referred vnto those times when they which were brought from Babylon with Zorobabel or else with Ezra and Nehemiah praied for the residue who notwithstanding were either detained by cowardise or were afraid by the difficultie of the iournie either staied there stil for other causes And the Prophet beginneth at a thankesgiuing for the returne granted vnto that people streight after he descendeth to a plaine confession of the sinnes of the whole nation euen from the deliuerance out of Aegypt expressing also the circumstances euen of the times and places and fullie answering vnto that which we reade in the 9. of Nehemiah where also is repeated oftentimes that which is here set downe in the 4. verse the which would God in this our most miserable age in the which we almost see the patience of the most merciful and mightie God as it were ouercome with such like stubbornnes would God I saie that manie had rather followe this example both publikelie and priuatelie than to be so readie to teare one another in peeces THE PARAPHRASIS 1 PRaise yee the Lord and celebrate his name for he is of most excellent and euerlasting goodnes 2 Who is able to set foorth in words the wonderous works which he hath done for vs who is able sufficientlie to set foorth his praise 3 O blessed is that man who at al times and in what estate soeuer he is neuer declineth from vprightnes and iustice 4 But thou ô Lord be mindful of me of thine vnmeasurable mercie which thou hast alwaies shewed to thy people and regard me to make me partaker of thy saluation 5 That I being a witnes of thy bountie towards thine elect may ioie and reioice together with that thy people which thou hast chosen for thy peculiar heritage 6 We verelie I grant euen as our elders also haue erred haue sinned and haue done wickedlie 7 For to begin the matter from the first original those our fathers neither had anie regard of so manie miracles wrought in Aegypt neither were they mindful of the multitude of thy benefits for they did striue with thee at the red sea 8 Yet God ô the incredible goodnes that he might prouide for his owne glorie and testifie his owne power hath preserued them though most rebellious 9 For he rebuked the sea which incontinentlie dried vp and he led his by the surges of the waters euen as by the drie ground 10 So did they escape safe out of the enimies hands God deliuering them 11 But their oppressors being swallowed vp with the waters did perish so that not one of them remained aliue 12 And the Israëlites being ouercome by this fact began then verelie to beleeue in the Lord and did sing foorth his praises 13 But lo when this was scarse finished when they suddenlie forgetting al these things would not suffer themselues to be gouerned by the wil of God and his counsels 14 But with immoderate lust desired flesh in the wildernes and began to tempt and trie the power of the mightie God 15 Therefore he granted vnto them that thing which they so greedilie desired but to their great hurt for these delicates brought them leanenes and consumption 16 Yea and they went about through enuie to displace Moses himselfe and Aaron that holie priest of the Lord. 17 Therefore the earth gaped and swallowed vp Dathan and couered Abiram with the verie tabernacles 18 But the fire also beginning in the assemblie of the rebellious the flame did burne them vp together suddenlie 19 The same men made a calfe in the mount Horeb and worshipped when they had molten it 20 Changing that their honour and ornament euen the euerliuing God ô miserable men into a dead image of a bullocke that eateth haie 21 And casting awaie the memorie of God the sauiour which had shewed so manie wonders in Aegypt 22 Who had declared so manie miracles vnto them in the land of Cham and had done so horrible things at the red sea 23 Wherefore he was about to destroie them at once but that Moses deerlie beloued of him aboue other setting himselfe before God in the midst of the slaughter restrained his wrath that it should not be fierce to vtter destruction 24 What more when he was about to bring them into the countrie promised they not beleeuing

they not being thus contented with the destruction of thy temple when they had thus determined to spoile al things at once that there should be no monument of vs at al remaining they burnt vp al the other buildings that we anie where had built for the hearing of thy precepts and to set forth thy praises 9 At the least ô Lord we should now see some of those our old and accustomed signes and wee should haue some one prophet who might comfort vs and might signifie vnto vs what end would be to these calamities 10 But how long ô God shal these enimies raile against thee shal this enimie neuer cease to reproch thy holie name 11 And wilt thou for euer hold in thy right hand whereby onelie we can be deliuered wilt thou turne it awaie from vs and neuer drawe it out of thy bosome 12 But thou art he who hast taken in hand to gouerne me so manie yeares ago and hast saued me so oft al they beholding and fighting against me 13 Thou by thy power hast made the sea passable for our sake and hast broken the heads of the mightie men of Aegypt being like dragons within the waters 14 Thou hast broken the head of that huge and cruel whale and thou hast giuen their carcases to be deuoured by the beastes of that wildernes 15 Thou euen contrarie to the course of nature breaking the huge rocke didst bring forth a riuer out of the veines of the flint stones and contrariwise thou diddest drie vp suddenlie the deepe chanel of that most raging riuer 16 Thou art the Authour and Ruler both of daie and night which hast set in order the certaine and vnchangeable motions of the light and of the Sunne 17 Thou hast diuided the whole compas of the earth into their borders thou hast appointed the course of summer and winter 18 And how much more easilie canst thou restore thy people if thou please in what desperate case soeuer they be onelie therefore be mindful of that thy couenant yea though thou couldst forget thy people yet doubtles thou canst not forget thine owne selfe And what reproches hath not this enimie cast foorth against thee ô Lord and what railings haue not this mad people vsed against thee 19 Ah! do not forsake nor giue vp this thy most deare turtle doue counted to be forsaken mourning vnto thee vnto these most cruel beastes neither commit the congregation of thy miserable people to perpetual obliuion 20 Remember rather thy couenant ô Lord for the whole land is now nothing else but a den of theeues and robbers 21 Let not the praiers we beseech thee of thine being so sore beaten and vexed with so manie reproches be vaine and frustrate but rather giue occasion to them that are oppressed and destitute of al succour to praise thee 22 Arise ô Lord and pleade thine owne cause and do not forget the reproches of these outragious men which they dailie cast out against thee 23 Forget not I saie the outcries of thine aduersaries but declare in deede that the brute of their tumult is come vp vnto thee PSALME LXXV The Argument Whether this Psalme were written by Asaph in the name of Dauid or it were written by Dauid himselfe and after deliuered to Asaph the singer and chanter it doth wholie agree vnto those times when Dauid reigned in the citie of Hebron when he was readie to receiue the kingdome of the whole nation by the common consent of al the tribes and it conteineth three principal points to wit that God is the Author and gouernour of al iust policie againe that these be the two principal duties of the magistrates euen to be a terror to those that be euil and to cherish them that be good finallie that this is the chiefe and final end of al namelie that glorie be giuen vnto God THE PARAPHRASIS 1 WE praise thee we praise thee ô God and that most worthilie whose power we do feele present and shal find hereafter and so shal we againe set forth thy wonderful benefites 2 And I wil surelie care for nothing so much when I shal haue the people by thy goodnes committed vnto me as to institute an holie and righteous gouernement 3 For as the case now standeth al the bonds of lawes being broken the whole kingdome is disordered but I wil againe establish the pillers thereof which are remoued foorth of their places 4 I wil bridle the proud and dissolute persons I wil terrifie the wicked that they shal not lift their hornes so high with these words 5 O ye mad men do not henceforth exalt your selues neither answere you so stoutlie and proudlie as ye are wont 6 For as ye may wel perceiue which way soeuer a man doth turne him it is not in his power to mount to higher dignitie 7 But it belongeth to God alone the most iust gouernour of al things and it is in his power and authoritie to cast off whome he wil and to exalt whome he pleaseth 8 Wherefore thou doest not resist me but God himselfe And the Lord doth carrie in his hand a cup ful of troubled wine and ful of dregs the which he wil giue to al the wicked to sucke vp and to drinke to the verie dregs 9 Thus then I diligentlie praising the God of Iacob and singing vnto him continuallie wil cut off the hornes of the wicked but I wil increase the iust with honours PSALME LXXVI The Argument J do take it to haue the same Argument and the same occasion to be of the writing of this Psalme as of the 46. and this is most notable in them both that he distinguisheth plainelie that knowledge of God whereby the Gentiles are rather conuinced than taught and conuerted from that wisedome which Christ saith that it can not be perceiued of flesh and bloud which is onlie peculiar to the Church of God and whereby onelie the true Catholike Church may and ought to be knowne and distinguished from the residue of mankinde and especiallie from the false and fained apostatical Church which onelie delighteth in ignorance THE PARAPHRASIS 1 THAT true God of Israël is onelie knowne in Iudëa who he is and he doth there onlie declare himselfe in deede how great and what maner of one he is 2 And though he fil both the heauen and the earth yet doth he not dwel euerie-where but in Salem as his tabernacle witnesseth which is placed in Sion 3 And experience it selfe doth declare this to be a most manifest testimonie of his presence seeing it is he who hath there broken in peeces the bowes and arrowes the shields the speares and al the instruments of war of the enimies of his people at once 4 Thus then hath he set foorth his owne glorie and he hath declared himselfe to be more mightie than al those spoilers people or kings how proud soeuer 5 For they how fierce or famous so euer they were are bereaued of their weapons and spoiles neither were they able

sorts to wit to bring vs into a deepe consideration of the constancie of God alwaies continued in the performing of his promises and of the other side of his wrath against the obstinate and stubborne breakers of his couenant The Prophet then doth declare this by this long and diligent rehearsal both of the chiefe benefites which God hath bestowed vpon this people euen from the first adoption and choosing of them euen vnto Dauid and also of the punishments which the people caused God euen as it were vnwillinglie to execute vpon them And would to God that al men could marke in their minds how necessarie this doctrine is in our times and how woonderful examples God hath set before vs to both these purposes by the space of these fortie yeeres euen as great as euer before THE PARAPHRASIS 1 HEare the master teaching ô my people and giue eare vnto him that wil speake nothing vnaduisedlie 2 I wil speake foorth most graue matters and I wil bring foorth things to be called into memorie euen from the ancient times 3 The which though we haue heard by report yet knowe we that they are most certaine and not fained by our elders which haue deliuered them vnto vs. 4 And as they had regard of vs so is it meete that wee should haue regard of our posteritie that the praises of the Lord and those woonderful acts whereby he hath testified his power vnto vs may be continued vnto al posteritie 5 For God hath established a certaine doctrine by his singular goodnes whereby he testifieth his wil to the ofspring of Iacob euen to Israël and hath commanded our fathers that euerie one should declare it to his children 6 And they againe to others their children that by this meanes the knowledge of the true God and of the worship of God might be continued from the fathers to the posteritie by the order of their generation 7 To this purpose that euerie one mindful of so great benefits of God might be taught to beleeue in God and to obeie his commandements 8 And that they should not followe those their elders a stubborne kind of men greeuous vnto God himselfe vnconstant dissembling and vnfaithful 9 The Ephramites for example being cunning archers in deede yet when they came to the battel they turned their backs 10 Vnmindful of the couenants of God and disdaining to walke the waie that he appointed 11 Forgetting his noble and wonderous works 12 For this is he that wrought so manie wonders before their elders in Aegypt and in the fieldes of Zoan 13 Who lead them through the waters diuided here and there heaped vp like mounts 14 Who lead them in the daie time with a cloud going before them and in the night by a flame glistering in the aire 15 Who brake the stonie rocks and gaue them waters most abundantlie to drinke 16 Drawing forth riuers euen forth of the flint that running streames did flowe from thence 17 Yet did they not cease to offend him for al this naie they continued to prouoke that high God 18 Yea and they durst trie his power whether he were able to satisfie their lust 19 For thus spake they against God Is he also so mightie that he can intertaine vs with a deintie feast in the wildernes 20 For he hath striken the rocke in deed whence so manie waters doe flowe that they are in abundance but can he also giue vs bread and can he giue vs here delicates 21 The Lord hearing this was verie angrie against Israël and that verie worthilie 22 Because they beleeued not God neither gaue themselues wholie to be gouerned by him 23 For he had commanded the clouds aboue that they should feede his people and he had opened the gates of heauen 24 And the cloudes being commanded did raine downe manna a most pleasant heauenlie bread 25 And he did giue to euerie one of them euen his bellie ful of bread so delicate that no prince be he neuer so mightie hath anie better 26 Wherefore he commanded by his authoritie that the east wind should blowe on the one side and the south wind on the other 27 And behold he rained downe euen quailes those deintie birdes with such abundance vpon them that they were like in number to the dust and sand of the sea 28 So that al the tents within and al round about them were filled with birds falling downe from heauen on euerie side 29 These then they did take and eate with al greedines to their fil God giuing them most abundantlie that which they desired 30 But behold whilest they did eate and whilest they did yet chawe the meate 31 The wrath of the Lord burnt against them and he destroied al the most excellent and chosen men amongest them 32 Yet could they not be amended with thess plagues nor brought to trust in him whose infinite power they had so oft tried 33 Wherefore he disappointed their hope worthilie and destroied them trembling with continual terror 34 For they then sought him when he threatened them with death and comming earlie did intreate him 35 They acknowledged that God was vnto them a most safe tower and they called him the high God and their deliuerer 36 But al these things were onelie vaine flatterings nor anie other things than words ful of falshood 37 For they did not speake with an vpright heart but such as shewed themselues nothing more faithful than before in perfourming the conditions of the couenant 38 Yet he pardoned them through his infinite mercie neither proceeded to deale with them rigorouslie and though they continued to prouoke him to anger yet powred not he al his wrath vpon them 39 For he remembred that men are indued with a fleshlie lumpe that passeth and vanisheth away and that their present life is like to a blast that passeth by and neuer returneth againe 40 Ah! how oft prouoked they him in the desert how oft were they troublesome vnto him in the wildernes 41 How oft by returning to their old manners haue they tempted God
