Psalms22:14
Verſ. 14. I am powred out like water] i.e. I am almoſt paſt all recovery, as water ſpilt upon the ground.
And all my bones are out of joynt] Or, diſparted, as on a rack, or by a ſtrappado. Who hath not heard how Lithgow the Scot was uſed at Maligo in Spain, Lithg. tra[illegible: 1 letter]. by the bloody Inquiſitours? (after that hee had paſſed thorough the greateſt part of the known World, and travelled thorough Forreſts, Wilderneſſes and Deſerts where hee met with theeves and murderers, Lions, Bulls, Bears, and Tigers, and eſcaped them) how they ſtarved him, wounded him, diſ-joynted him, in ten houres ſpace laid ſeventy ſeverall torments upon him, though they had nothing againſt him, but ſuſpition of Religion. And yet after this, God wonderfully delivered him; ſo that hee was brought on this bed wounded and broken to King James, whoſe letters of recommendation hee had for his ſafe travell through the World, and to whom hee made this relation to the face of Gundamour the Spaniſh Ambaſſadour. This was much, but yet little or nothing to Chriſts ſufferings, whence that paſſage in the Greek Letany, [non-Latin text not transcribed], &c. By thine unknown ſufferings, good Lord deliverus.
My heart is like wax, &c.] Fear and faintneſſe cauſeth an extreme ſweat (ſuch as was that of our Saviour in his agony, Luk. 22.44.) it diſableth alſo the Members from acting their parts, and ſofteneth the heart, Job 23.16.
