Psalms17:12
Verſ. 12. Like as a Lion that is greedy, &c.] Cruelty and Craft are conjoyned in the Churches enemies; as the Aſpe never wandreth alone, they ſay, without his companion. David here pointeth out ſome one ſpecial enemy (Saul likely) who ſhould have been a Shepherd, but proved a Lion.
As a young Lion lurking] Therefore as we tender our ſafety, keep cloſe to God, out of whoſe hands none can take us, no not the roaring Lion of Hell.
