John Trapp on Psalms 38:3

Verſ. 3. There is no ſoundneſs in my fleſh becauſe of [illegible: 1 span] ] This was the immediate cauſe of Davids miſery, it came from [illegible: 1 letter]ove diſpleaſed; and [illegible: 1 span] ſins ſeldom [illegible: 3 letters]pe better. But bleſſed be our Almighty [illegible: 1 span], who [illegible: 1 word] health out of ſickneſs, by bringing thereby the body of death into a Conſumption.

Neither is there any reſt in my bones] [illegible: 1 letter]is repetit, mere l[illegible: 1 letter]gentium. He ſaith the ſame thing twice; as Mourners uſe to do but with an aggravation of his pain, reaching to his very bones.

Becauſe of my ſin] This was the remote cauſe of his preſent ſufferings; and is the true Mother of all mans miſerie. Now when theſe two (Gods wrath, and mans ſin) meet in the ſoul, as phyſick and ſickneſs in the ſtomack, there muſt needs be much unreſt, till they be vomited up by confeſſion. Tis as naturall for guilt to br[illegible: 2 letters]d diſquiet, as for putrid matter to br[illegible: 2 letters]d vermin. Let God therefore be juſtified, and every mouth ſtopped.
