Psalms119:99
Verſ. 99 I have more underſtanding than all my teachers] i. e. I have underſtood by much reading more than they ever taught mee, whilſt I referred all to practiſe; and ſo came to know more of Gods mind than they did. A friend ſaith Chryſoſtom, that is acquainted with his friend, will get out the meaning of a letter or phraſt, which another could not that is a ſtranger: ſo it is in the Scripture.Act. & Mon. And here, Indocti [illegible: 1 word] calum: a pious ſwain is better learned than a proud Philoſopher, faith a certain devout Dominican. Our King Alfred was held the beſt in all his Kingdome, both for underſtanding and for [illegible: 1 word] the holy Scriptures.
For thy Teſtimonies are my meditation] I do particularly apply the word heard to mine own neceſſities; and work it upon mine affections by an after deliberate meditation.
