Where David saith of God, aAccording to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me, he useth *this word: and where he prayeth to God for vengeance on the wicked, thus bRender to them their desert. This word is also used, where the brethren of Joseph say of him, cHe will certainly requite us all the evil which we have done unto him: and where the King of Israel giveth this charge for the Shunemite, dRestore all that was hers. Here it is attributed to man in relation to God, but not as importing any possibility of satisfaction, but only a forwardness to do any thing that might be acceptable to God.
