Psalms119:129

Verſ. 129 Thy Teſtimonies are wonderfull] As comprehending high and hidden myſteries, ſuch as are far above the reach of humane reaſon; ſuch as the very Angels admire and adore. A man muſt have more than common faith to ſubject his reaſon to them. But all men are Socinians by nature; they will beleeve Gods word no further than they can ſee reaſon: which while men make the rule of their faith (as did the wiſe Grecians, the rationall Romans) they ſtumble at the preaching of the Croſs as fooliſhneſs; and diſ-beleeve the riches of Chriſt, which are unſearchable.

Therefore doth my ſoul keep them] Though I cannot comprehend them, yet I am comprehended by them: and though I canno[illegible: 1 letter] do them as I would; yet I am doing at them as I can. I admire what I cannot attain to.
