I have seen an end of all perfection: but thy commandment is exceeding broad, or large.
I haue seene an ende of all perfection: but thy commaundement is exceeding broade, or large.
The word then which David useth, signifieth sometimes perfection, and sometimes accomplishment because that the things which are come to a perfection, have an end. Now he saith in sum, that when he hath throughly considered of all things, that there is nothing in this world which hath not an end, and that is not consumed by continuance: but that the word of God is plentiful: that is, it extendeth it self unto all the creatures of God, and over all whatsoever we are able to see. See here a sentence very like unto that which we have seen in the first verse. David then by this conclusion confirmeth the saying which before he held to wit, that the word of God is everlasting. Although that we here see marvellous alterations, that we see the world tossed with so tempestuous whirlwinds, as that there is neither end nor measure of them yet shall we have in the midst of all those troubles an everlasting abode in the word of God, which will assure us of all together.

See here a sentence very like vnto that which we haue seene in the first verse. Dauid then by this conclusion confirmeth the saying which before hee held to wit, that the word of God is euerlasting. Although that we here see maruelous alteratiōs, that we se the world tossed with so tempestuous whirlewindes, as that there is nother end nor measure of thē yet shal we haue in the midst of al those troubles an euerlasting aboade in the worde of God, which will assure vs of all together.
