Psalms101:3
Verſ. 3. I will ſet no wicked thing (Heb. thing of Belial) before mine eyes] that is, in my thoughts, ſaith Kimchi; for the thinking-faculty is in the fore-part of the brain, as are alſo the eyes. I will not gaze upon forbidden objects, nor venture upon a temptation to, or an occaſion of ſin. I will alſo be wiſe and wary in the choice of my ſervants, and under-officers. Theodoſius his Court was virtutu[illegible: 2 letters] officina, non vitior[illegible: 1 letter]m ſentina, ſaith One. And Archbiſhop Granniers houſe was Schola vet palaestra pieta[illegible: 3 letters] & literarum, Pare us. Tremellius. ſaith another. See above on the title of this Pſalm.
I hate the work of them that turn aſide] Of treacherous men and Apoſtates;Euſeb. ſuch as Conſtantius Chlorus, the Father of Conſtamine the Great ſound (by proof made) ſome of his Counſellors and Courtiers to be, and therefore turned them off, ſaying, He cannot be faithful to me, who is unfaithful to God: Pietate ſublata fides to llitur.
It ſhall not cleave to mee] Ile none of them, neither ſhall any ſuch wickedneſs hang at my heels, to hinder my progreſs in piety and good government.
