This David felt, when he said, Innumerable troubles have compassed me, 1my sins have taken such hold of me, that I am not able to look up: they are more in number then the hairs of mine head, therefore mine heart faileth 2me. So in another Psalm, we may see the like. This do mens sins bring them to, when God citeth them, and seeth it expedient to awake them, though he do not this often, especially to the reprobate, and yet with slender, or rather no use nor benefit to them, when he doth it; they have so many shifts to wash it away, and so harden their hearts, that they cannot profit thereby, but with great use and comfort to his own children, in the end especially, how terrible and fearful soever the beginnings and proceedings also sometime are, or seem to be unto them.
This Dauid felt, when he said, Innumerable troubles haue compassed me, 1my sinnes haue taken such hold of me, that I am not able to looke vp: they are more in number then the haires of mine head, therefore mine heart faileth 2me. So in another Psalme, we may see the like. This doe mens sinnes bring them to, when God citeth them, and seeth it expedient to awake them, though he doe not this often, especially to the reprobate, and yet with slender, or rather no vse nor benefit to them, when he doth it; they haue so many shifts to wash it away, and so harden their hearts, that they cannot profit thereby, but with great vse and comfort to his owne children, in the end especially, how terrible and feareful soeuer the beginnings and proceedings also sometime are, or seeme to be vnto them.
