Psalms4:5

Verſ. 5. Offer the ſacrifices of righteouſneſs] Confeſs your ſins, and ſlay them; run to him who is the propitiation, Jeſus Chriſt the righteous, preſent your bodies a living Sacrifice, bring a contrite ſpirit; to do good, and to communicate forget not, &c. elſe you offer the ſacrifice of fools, as Eccleſ. 5.1. and not of righteouſneſs, here. The Chaldee hath it, Domate concupiſcenti as, ſacrifice and ſubdue your luſts.

And put your truſt in the Lord] It is well obſerved, that God brings men home by a contrary way, to that they fell from him. We fell from him by diſtruſt, by having him in a jealouſie, as if he aimed more at himſelf than at our good. Wee return to him by having a good conceit of him, that he loves us better than we can love our ſelves, and therefore that we ought to put our truſt in him, both in life and death.
