Quicken thou me in thy wye, as in the end he sayeth, quicken thou me in thy righteousness. This may be interpreted ⟨p. 42⟩two manner of ways: Quicken thou me in thy way, to wit, O Lord, make me to walk in thy word, that I may live. Or else: O Lord, give me strength, to the end I may follow thy word. We know that when we withdraw our selves from God, we can not but commit all iniquity, for which is the way of life but even that which God showeth us, and calleth us unto? All they then which forsake the word of God, go astray, and run headlong unto death, and into everlasting destruction. Even so, it is not without cause, that David desireth to be quickened in the way of the Lord: as if he should have said, that all they which forsake the Lord, and the way which he showeth them, are undone, and utterly overthrown. But according to the true meaning of the place, we are to note that David his meaning is rather to signify unto us, that all men of them selves, are as it were dead, that they have no power nor strength when there is any question of walking according to the will of God.
Quicken thou me in thy wye, as in the ende hee sayeth, quicken thou me in thy rightuousnesse. This may be interpreted ⟨p. 42⟩twoo maner of wayes: Quicken thou mee in thy waye, to witte, O Lorde, make me to walke in thy woorde, that I may lyue. Or els: O Lorde, giue mee strength, to the ende I may followe thy woorde. We knowe that when we withdrawe our selues from God, we can not but committe all iniquitie, for which is the waye of life but euen that which God sheweth vs, and calleth vs vnto? All they then which forsake the worde of God, goe astraye, and runne headlong vnto death, and into euerlasting destruction. Euen so, it is not without cause, that Dauid desireth to bee quickened in the waye of the Lorde: as if he shoulde haue sayde, that all they which forsake the Lorde, and the waye which hee sheweth them, are vndone, and vtterly ouerthrowne. But according to the true meaning of the place, wee are to note that Dauid his meaning is rather to signifie vnto vs, that all men of them selues, are as it were dead, that they haue no power nor strength when there is any question of walking according to the will of God.
