Psalms19:5

Verſ. 5. Which is as a Bridegroom coming out of his Chamber] ſc. after long expectation, with a great deal of pomp and gayety; ſuch is the Sun-riſing, when hee firſt ſhe weth himſelf above our Horizon. Kimchi addeth, that as the Bridegroom when he is abroad haſteneth home to his Bride, ſo doth the Sun to his deſcent, anhe'at ad occaſum, Eccleſ. 1.5.

And rejoyceth as a ſtrong man (or Champion) to run a race] readily running, and effectually affecting all things with his heat. The Perſian Angari or Poſts, the Oſtrich, the wild Aſſe, the Buſtard, the Dromedary,De aſcenſmentis in Deum, grad. 7 the Eagle is nothing ſo ſwift as the Sun. Bellarmine ſaith, that he runneth in the eighth part of an hour ſeven thouſand miles. This dumb Creature gives check to our dulneſs; as Balaams Aſſe alſo did to that Prophets madneſs.
