John Trapp on Psalms 115:1

PSAL. CXV.

VErſ. 1 Not on to us Lord, not unto us] This is the godly mans [illegible: 1 word], and his daily practice. See Gen. 41.16. Act. 3.12, 16. 1 Cor. 15.10. Luk. 19.16. Nor wee, but thy Talents have gained other five,Georg. Fabr[illegible: 2 letters]. [illegible: 1 word] vivus de ſcipſ[illegible: 2 letters]. and other two, &c. Fabricius ſtuduit bene de pietate mereri; Sed quicquid petuit, gloria, Chriſte, tua eſt.

There is no merit at all in us, faith the Chaldee here; the bowles of the Candleſtick had no oyl but that which dropped from the Olive-branches. It is therefore very good counſel that [illegible: 1 word] gives his friend [illegible: 1 span] illi do [illegible: 1 span]; In all thy good deeds give God the glory, and take up [illegible: 1 letter]lowly thoughts of thy ſelf.
