David saith, Mine eyes gush out with rivers 1of water, because they keep not thy Law, And again, My zeal hath even consumed me because mine enemies have forgotten thy words. Again, I saw the transgressors, and was grieved, because they kept not thy word. And when he saw the whole nation of Israel, wasted by the enemies, how mournful a complaint made he to god: O god the heathen axe 2come into thine inheritance: thine holy temple have they defiled & made Jerusalem heaps of stones. The dead bodies of thy servants, have they given to be meat unto the fowls of the heaven, & the flesh of thy saints ⟨image 70⟩unto the beasts of the earth. At this time wh• the tabernacle was lost, when Saul was unquiet and the Priests were s•ayne, and the Prophets despised, and the people lief without all comfort, he poureth out his hear in these words, Zelus domus tuae comedit me, O Lord, the zeal I bear unto thine house hath eaten me up. It inflameth my heart, drieth my blood, consumeth my marrow. Such a care had be for the house of God: it was death unto him to see it so destroyed and laid wast.
Dauid saith, Mine eyes gush out with riuers 1of water, because they keepe not thy Lawe, And agayne, My zeale hath euen consumed me because mine enimies haue forgottē thy words. Againe, I saw the transgressours, and was greued, because thei kept not thy word. And when hee saw the whole nation of Israel, wasted by the enimies, how mournfull a complaint made he to god: O god the heathen ax 2come into thine inheritance: thine holye temple haue they defiled & made Hierusalē heaps of stones. The dead bodies of thy seruants, haue they giuen to be meat vnto the foules of the heauen, & the flesh of thy saints ⟨image 70⟩vnto the beasts of the earth. At this time wh the tabernacle was lost, whē Saul was vnquiet and the Priestes were sayne, and the Prophets despised, and the people lef without al comfort, hee powreth out his heare in these wordes, Zelus domus tuae comedit me, O Lorde, the zeale I beare vnto thine house hath eaten me vp. It inflameth my heart, drieth my blood, consumeth my marowe. Such a care had bee for the house of God: it was death vnto him to see it so destroyed and layde wast.
