John Trapp on Psalms 38:14

Verſ. 14. Thus was I [illegible: 1 word] a man [illegible: 1 word] ] He doubleth his ſpeech, to ſhew his holy pertinacy in a prudent and patient ſilence, though greatly provoked. David was, as it is reported of [illegible: 1 word] the Emperour, [non-Latin text not transcribed], careful of what was to be done by him, but careleſs of what was ſaid of him by others. As Auguſtus, he did but laugh at the Satyrs and Buffoner[illegible: 3 letters] publiſhed againſt him. He knew that as Phyſical pils muſt not bee chewed, but ſwallowed whole; ſo muſt many injuries and indignities. Conviti[illegible: 1 letter] ſpreta ex[illegible: 1 letter] leſ[illegible: 2 letters]nt.
