Psalms3:4
Verſ. 4. I cried unto the Lord with my voyce] I prayed aloud, and luſtily; I rouſed up my ſelf, and wraſtled with God; and this was the ground of his courage, and confidence. So Eſter, when ſhe had faſted and prayed, put her life in her hands, and was fearleſs. So Chriſt, when being in an Agony, hee had prayed more earneſtly, went and met his enemies in the face; though before his Soul was heavie to the death, and he began to be out of the world, as the word ſignifieth, [non-Latin text not transcribed] Matth. 26.37.
And he heard me out of his holy hill] i. e. è ſuo ſacrario & caeleſti & terreſtri, Jun. out of his heavenly and earthly Sanctuary. Zion ſignifieth a Sure-hold, a goodly Proſpect; for that, from the top of that Hil a man might have ſeen all the Country over. And it was a type of Heaven, whence God ſeeth all, and heareth his. Lucian the Atheiſt feigneth, or fancieth, that there are certain chinks in Heaven, through which Jupiter at certain times only heareth his Suters: which times they who take not, pray to no purpoſe.
