Psalms55:12

Verſ. 12. [non-Latin text not transcribed] For it was not mine enemy that reproached mee] Achitophels perfidy and villany troubled David more than all the reſt; there not being any wound worſe, as Sophocles ſaith, than the treachery of a friend; he being ſuch a kind of enemy, quem ne que fugere, ne que fugare poſſumus, as Bernard hath it; whom we cannot eaſily prevent. See Pſal. 41.9.

Then I could have born it] Though as a burden; but nothing ſo grievous; I ſhould not have much mattered it.
