Psalms84:6

Verſ. 6. Who paſſing thorough the valley of Baca] That is, of tears, ſay ſome, [non-Latin text not transcribed], Sept. of Mulberry-trees ſay others; the one are moiſt, the other uſe to grow in more dry places. Betwixt them both, they may ſerve, ſaith One, to make up a more compleat emblem of this miſerable World, made up of woes and wants. In hoc exilio ſaith Bernard, in hoc ergaſtulo, in hac peregrinatione, in hac valle lachrymarum, &c.

Make it a Well] They are as chearfull in their travel to Gods houſe, as if they had plenty of water all the way. Finis edulcat media, the joy of the Lord is their ſtrength, whereby they are carried on an end, as they ſay, to their journeys end the joyfull preconceit of appearing before God in Zion; allaying their great thirſt.
