Of thy free grace confer good upon mee: and that not ſcantily, or niggardly, but liberally, and like thy ſelf. The word ſometimes ſignifieth to repay, to recompenſe: but therehence to infer matter of merit, on mans part, is too ſandy a foundation fo[illegible: 1 letter] ſuch a lofty Babel.

And keep thy word] For which end only I deſire life: See the like, Pſal. 118.17.Non peto vit[illegible: 1 letter]m prop[illegible: 2 letters]r deli[illegible: 3 letters] [illegible: 1 word] Kimchi. Non aliter pelit vitam, quam ut praſtet ſe fidelem Dei [illegible: 1 word], ſaith [illegible: 1 word], David doth no otherwiſe deſire life, than for this, that hee may faithfully ſerve God.
