John Trapp on Psalms 139:2

Some ſearch, but know not; thou doſt both: thine eyes behold, thine eye-lidstry the Children of men, Pſal. 11.4. See the Note there.

My familiar thoughts, ſuch as I am delighted in, voluntatem meam, ſome render it, my will; others, propinquitatem meam, my nearneſs; and that afar off, even from Heaven, being intimo meo mihi intimior, not ſo far from mee as the bark is from the tree, the skin from the fleſh, or the fleſh from the bones.

A far off] Eminus, à longe pranoviſti, [illegible: 2 letters]tequam movea[illegible: 1 letter]ur, ſaith Chriſoſtom; thou knoweſt my thoughts before I have conceived them; my thoughts in Paſſe, from all eternity: ſo great is thy ſagacity and perſpicacity. As a man that knoweth what roots hee hath in his Garden, though there bee not a flower appearing, yet hee can ſay, when the Spring comes, this and this will come up: ſo here; God knows our whole frame, our Principles, &c.
