Psalms26:3

To ſin againſt Mercy is to ſin againſt Humanity, it is no leſs than beſtial, than devilliſh. When therefore I am tempted to recompence evil for evil, thy loving kindneſs comes before me, and reigneth me in.

And I have walked in thy truth] i.e. according to thy Word: I have led a Bible-converſation, though ſollicited to do otherwiſe by the Courtiers, and Politicians, with that prophane Proverb of their [non-Latin text not transcribed], comply with the times,Theog. and be not ſo ſtraight-laced: Religioſum eportet eſſe, ſed non Religentem.
