Psalms119:103
Verſ. 103 How ſweet are thy words unto my taſte] Heb. To my Palat. Syr. ca[illegible: 1 letter]is gutturis mei, the roof of the mouth reſembleth Heaven. Epicurus was worthily blamed by Ennius for that [illegible: 1 letter]um palat[illegible: 1 letter] quid ſit optimum judicabat, cali palatium non ſuſpexerit, whiles hee looked ſo much to his palate, hee looked not at all to the heavenly palace. David was no Hog of his heard: hee had ſweet meats to feed on, that the World was not aware of.
Yea ſweeter than hony to my mouth] Mercuries Prieſts were wont to ſay when they did eat their figs, [non-Latin text not transcribed], Truth is ſweet. The Comaedian ſaith, after Solomon, [non-Latin text not transcribed], Light is ſweet. The pleaſures of the mind are far beyond thoſe of the body.
