Psalms26:8

Verſ. 8. Lord, I have loved the habitation of thy houſe] Much more the people, and the Ordinances there, but moſt of all the Lord himſelf of that houſe (as if a man love the School-maſter for his Childes ſake, he loveth his Childe much more) and hence it is that I ſo hate the Society of the ungodly; For what communion hath Chriſt with Belial? The word rendred habitation, ſome derive from a word that ſignifieth the eye, and therefore render it ſight, or beauty; the Seventy [non-Latin text not transcribed] comlineſs. The Proteſtants at Lions in France called their publick meeting-place Paradiſe.

And the place where thine honour dwelleth] i.e. Where thou thy ſelf dwelleſt, or thine Ark, which is called Gods glory, 1 Sam. 4.21. Pſal. 78.61. yea Gods ſelf, Pſal. 132.5. and Gods face, Pſal. 105.4.
