Psalms90:7
Verſ. 7. For we are conſumed by thine anger] Juſtly conceived for our ſins, ver. 8. this is a cauſe of death that Philoſophy diſcovereth not, as being blinde, and not able to ſee farre off, and therefore cannot preſcribe any ſufficient remedy againſt the fear of death, ſuch as is here ſet down, verſ. 12. but ſuch as made Tully complain, that the Diſeaſe was too hard for the Medicine, and ſuch as left men either doubtful (Socrates, for inſtance) or deſperate, and devoyd of ſenſe, as Petronius in Tacitus, Qui in ipſis atriis mortis delicias quaeſivit, ſolaced himſelf with ſinging ſuch light Sonnets as this; Vovamus mea Lesbia at que omemus, Rumoreſ que ſenum ſeveriorum Omnes unius aestimemus aſſis.
And by thy wrath are we troubled] Conſternati ſumus, Symmachus & Aquila tranſtulerant acceleravimus. Death ſtings us and ſticks us; the motion and mention of it is terrible to us, through ſenſe of ſin, and fear of wrath, Heb. 2.15.
