Matthew Poole and continuators on Psalms 18:25

25 With the merciful man thou wilt shew thy self merciful with an upright man thou wilt shew thy self upright .

Or, sincere, to wit, in performing what thou hast Promised to such Persons, this being a great part or act of Sincerity, when [illegible: 1+ letters]nes Deeds and Words, or Professio[illegible: 1+ letters]s agree together; as on the contrary for those that deal Hypocritically and wickedly with thee, thou wi[illegible: 1+ letters]st make them to know thy [illegible: 1 word] of Promise, as it is expressed, Numb. 14. 34. The Sence of the Verse, Thou me[illegible: 1+ letters]est to every one the same measure, which he meteth out to others, and givest to him the Fruit of his own doings, and therefore thou wilst perform mercy and truth, to those who are merciful and true to others, as through thy mercy I have been.
