Vers 98. By thy commandments thou hast made me wiser than mine enemies: for they are •uer with me.
Vers 98. By thy commaundements thou hast made mee wiser than mine enemies: for they are •uer with me.
The first of the particular effects, is contained in these words: By thy commandments thou hast made me wiser than mine enemies. We see how men now adays strain their wits to match their enemies in policies & devices, but few think on this sound means, whereby we shall surely prevail against them. Now if it be so that whatsoever is written, is written for our instruction and comfort, in making mention of the means, the Prophet of the Lord doth teach us, that it was no extraordinary work of the Lord proper to him, but a means appointed of God for us all to follow. Whereby he teacheth us, that God will bless us to attain to the like wisdom, if we will endeavour to use the like means.
