Psalms119:46-48
Verſ. 46. I will ſpeak of thy teſtimonies, &c.] Nulle vel terrore vel ſplendore mundano impeditus. Kings commonly abound with all things but only Truth, as Alphonſus King of Arragon complained. David would deal plainly with them though never ſo high; eſpecially when he ſhould come to be of equal level with them, and ſo to have better opportunity.
Verſ.Ethic. l. 10 47. And I will delight my ſelf] ſc. In contemplation of thy Word. Ariſtotle telleth us, that the principal pleaſure is to be found in contemplation.
Verſ.Utr[illegible: 1 letter] que manu [illegible: 1 letter]apeſſam. 48. My hands alſo will I lift up, &c.] Removing all rubs, and pulling thy Word to me with both hands earneſtly, with my whole man, with my whole might; [non-Latin text not transcribed], ſtraining the body, and ſtretching out the hands to do mine utmoſt at it, whilſt others put it from them with a force, and ſo judge themſelves unworthy of everlaſting life, Acts 13.46.
