Psalms119:147-148
Verſ. 147 I prevented the dawning of the morning] I was up and at it before daybreak. This is check to our ſluggiſhneſs.
I hoped in thy Word] The Word furniſhed his hope, and his hope his prayer.
Verſ.Hier. ad Euſta. 148 Mine eyes prevent the night-watches] By this verſe and the former it appeareth that hee ſpent whole nights in prayer and meditation of Gods Word. Hierom counſelled ſome godly women thus, Tenenti codicem ſomnus obrepat, & cadentem faciem pagina ſacra ſuſcipiat.
