Psalms66:14
Verſ. 14. Which my lips have uttered] Heb. Have opened, that is, which I have uttered diductis labiis, with lips wide open. Videmus qualiter vota nuncupari ſoleant, ſaith Vatablus, Here we ſee after what ſort vows uſe to be made; when we are under any preſſing affliction: but when once delivered, how heavily many come off in point of paiment.
And my mouth hath ſpoken when I was in trouble] Then, men will promiſe any thing for eaſe and releaſe; But what ſaith the Italian Proverb? Sciapato il morbo, frandato il Santo, when the Diſeaſe is cured, the Saint is defrauded. Horace calleth upon Macaenas (who in his Sickneſs had vowed to build a Temple) — Reddero victimasLib. 2. Od. 17 Aedem que votivam memento: Nos humilem feriemus agnam.
