Psalms6:7
Verſ. 7. Mine eye is conſumed] Heb. gnawn, moth eat[illegible: 1 letter]n. That eye of his that had looked, and luſted after his Neighbours Wife, is now dimmed, and darkned with grief and indignation, he had wept himſelf almoſt blinde;Prideaux his Introduct. to Hiſt. p. 289. as it is ſtoried of Fauſtus the Son of King Vortiger by his own Daughter, that he wept himſelf ſtark blinde for the abominable inceſt of his Parents.
