John Trapp on Psalms 130:3

Verſ. 3 If thou, Lord, ſhouldeſt mark iniquities] This and the next verſe contains, ſaith one, the ſumme of all the Scriptures. Twice hee here nameth the Lord, as deſirous to take hold of him with both his hands. Extremity of Juſtice hee depre [illegible: 3 letters]h, hee would not bee dealt with in rigour and rage. Extrema, fateor, commeritus ſum, Deus; Quid enim aliud dixers? It is confeſſed I have deſerved the extremity of thy fury; but yet let mee talk with thee (as Jer. 12.1) or reaſon the caſe.

O Lord, who ſhall ſtand?] Stand in Judgement, as Pſal. 1.5. and not fall under the weight of thy juſt wrath, which burneth as low as Hell it ſelf? How can any one eſcape the damnation of Hell, which is the juſt hire of the leaſt ſin, Rom. 6.23. and the beſt mans life is fuller of ſins than the Firmament is o[illegible: 1 letter] ſtars, or the furnace of ſparks? Hence that of an Ancient, V[illegible: 1 letter] homiu[illegible: 2 letters] vit[illegible: 1 letter], quantumvis laudabili, ſi, re [illegible: 2 letters] miſcericordi[illegible: 1 letter], judicetur. Woe to the beſt man alive, ſhould hee bee ſtrictly dealt withall: Surely if his faults were but written in his forehead, it would make him pull [illegible: 1 word] hat over his eyes.
