Psalms36:7

Verſ. 7. How excellent (Heb. precious) is thy loving-kindneſſe?] That ſpeciall love and favour that thou vouchſafeſt to thine own elect only. Oh this is incomparable, and inexpreſſible. It maketh a vaſt difference betwixt the Righteous and the wicked, though the blind World obſerveth it not.

Therefore the Children of man] Who are alſo the Children of God, by a better birth, Joh. 1.12, 13. and that's their greateſt preferment, 1 Joh. 3.1. Ludovicus ſirnamed the Saint, King of France, would needs be called Ludovicus de Piſſiaco, rather than take greater titles; becauſe there he became a Chriſtian. He thought no birth to a new birth in Chriſt, no Parentage to that of God to his Father.

Put their truſt under the ſhaddow of thy wings] As chickens (in a ſtorm, or when the Purtock threatneth) hover and cover under the Henne. See Pſal. 91. Matth. 23.
