John Trapp on Psalms 16:6

Verſ. 6. The lines are fallen] In alluſion to thoſe lines wherewith they meaſured Land, when they parted it. See Deut. 32.9. Pſal. 105.11. & 78.55. Act. 26.18. Epeſ 1.11. David, having God for his portion, could ſay with Jacob, I have all things, Gen. 33.11. Paul alſo ſaith the ſame, Phil. 4.18. and further, telleth us, that having nothing, he ſet poſſeſſed all things; for why he had got the divine art of contentation, verſ. 12. and ſo could bee either on the top of Jacobs Ladder, or at the bottome; hee could ſing either Placentia or Lachrymae, abound, or be abaſed, &c.Bern. Sine Deo omnis copia eſt egoſtas.

In pleaſant places] From the delectable Orchard of the Leonine Priſon, Quis in Deo [illegible: 1 word] po[illegible: 1 letter]tio mea, [illegible: 1 word] quaſi in loco [illegible: 1 word] maeno. R. David. ſaid that Italian Martyr, dating his Letter. Tua praeſentia, Domine, Laurentio ipſam craticulam dulcem fecit, ſaid that Ancient; Thy preſence, Lord, made Laurence his gridiron pleaſant to him.

Yea, I have a goodly heritage] I have as much (in content at leaſt) as hee who hath moſt. The Bee is as well pleaſed with feeding on the dew, or ſucking from a flower, as Behemoth that grazeth on the Mountaines. The Lark when aloſt, ſeeth further with a little eye, than the Oxe, on the ground with a greater.

Atque ſuum tirilitirilitiritirlire cantat.
