Psalms119:72

Verſ. 72 The law of thy mouth is better unto mee, &c.] For what is all this traſh to that true treaſure, thoſe lively, and life giving oracles? Dionyſius worthily preferred Plato before Ariſtippus, becauſe the one was ever craving mony of him: but the other books. It is reported of Plato, Joh. Manl. lec[illegible: 1 letter] com. 78. that for three choice books hee gave thirty thouſand ſilverlings or florens. Now what were all his books to the Bible? To blame then was that Anabaptiſt who ſaid in Melancthous hearing, that hee would not give two pence for all the Bibles in the World.
