Verſ. 18. Open thou mine eyes] Heb. Ʋnveil the[illegible: 1 letter], velumen um[illegible: 1 letter]ot, [illegible: 1 word] evolve, give ſight and light; irradiate both organ and object. In ſpirituals wee are not only dim-ſighted, but blind as Beetles, 1 Cor. 2.14. Oh pray for that precious eyeſalve, Rev. 3.17. for that ſupernal light, 2 Cor. 4.6. and whenſoever wee open the Bible to read, ſay as here, open thou mine eyes, &c. as when wee cloſe it up again ſay, I have ſeen an end of all perfection: but thy Commandement is exceeding broad, verſ. 96.

Wondrous things] M[illegible: 1 letter]rabilia magnalia, myſteria; ſuch as none can underſtand and unriddle, but ſuch as plow with Gods own heifer, 1 Cor. 2.11.
