¶ The eight verse.

¶ The eyght verse.

I will pay my vows unto the Lord in the sight of all his people in the courts of the Lords house / yea even in the midst of the / O Jerusalem.

I wyll pay my vowes vn to the Lorde in the syghte of all his people ī the courtes of the Lordes house / yea euen in the myddes of the / O Ierusalem.

David is ever one man. He had ¹rather sing one song a thousand times, than he would once at tempt any thing without the authority of Gods word. He is at this point, that he will do nothyng, ex cepte Gods word beareth him in it. He will not cleave to his own good intents, minds and zeals. He will worship God according to his word. He setteth before his eyes this commandment. That I command thee, do that only to the Lord, neither put thou any thing to it, nor yet pluck ought therefrom. Again, I command the to do y•, which is pleasant in the sight of the Lord thy God. Also in another place, Ye shall not do every one of you, that which ye yourself think ²right & good. He can make no shift to be divers in the worshipping of God. He can invent no new and strange honourings of god, as the ⟨image 92⟩old Pharisees did in times paste, ³and the Papists & Monks have done since y time, but all in vain, as the Scriptures testify. He keepeth him self within the bonds of Gods word, and as he said before that he would pay his vows, that is to say, do those things y he had promised to his LORD God, keep his Commandments, follow & accomplish his most godly will in all points unto the uttermost of his power, and do the office of a true king, seek God's glory, promote his holy word, tenderly
