This word, days, is used 1. To put them in mind of their short continuance on earth. For our continuance is but of days, soon gone. When Jacob would set out the brevity of his life, he thus expresseth it, The days of the years of my pilgrimage. And Job, thus, Are not mans days as the days of an hireling? And David, thus, Thou hast made my days 1as an hand breadth.2
This word, daies, is used 1. To put them in mind of their short continuance on earth. For our continuance is but of daies, soone gone. When Iaakob would set out the brevity of his life, he thus expresseth it, The daies of the yeares of my pilgrimage. And Iob, thus, Are not mans daies as the daies of an hireling? And David, thus, Thou hast made my daies 1as an hand breadth.2
David here mentioned, was a King: and the best King ⟨p. 132⟩that ever swayed Sceptre. His name according to the notation 1of it, importeth a lovely or friendly one. He was amiable and lovely before God and man: and friendly to all Gods people. He was a man after Gods own heart. And all Israel and Judah loved him. In the Saints was all his delight.
