Another example we have in David, who also was exercised with this temptation and trouble of mind, as the first words of the 6 ⟨p. 96⟩Psalm, and the whole tenor thereof do evidently1 show; For first, he desires the Lord, not to rebuke him in his wrath, and afterward complaineth, that his grief was so great, that his very flesh consumed, his bones were vexed, and his body brought to such a state, as no sickness could have brought him unto. And it is not unlike, that the same Prophet did often fall into the like kind of distress of mind, as may be gathered out of Psalm, 77▪ and sundry other places.
