If David then loved the commandment of God and his testimonies, wherefore desireth he not to be quickened according to his merits? And if it be so that he hath deserved, why hath he recourse to the mercy of God? Now he very well showeth, that he meant not too boast of his virtues neither yet of any such, I know not what perfection, to have fulfilled the law of God: but he had a special regard, as I have already said, to the content of God his promises. He allegeth not here that he had deserved to be holpen: but he desired to be defended according to the mercy of God. In this point he setteth before us his example, to the end we might follow him, as this is also the meaning of the holy Ghost, when as he spake by the mouth of David. Now he goeth on for a conclusion and sayeth,
If Dauid then loued the commaundement of God and his testimonies, wherefore desireth he not to be quicke••ed according to his merites? And if it be so that he hath deserued, why hath he recourse to the mercie of God? Nowe he very well sheweth, that he meant not too boaste of his vertues neither yet of any such, I know not what perfection, to haue fulfilled the lawe of God: but he had a speciall regard, as I haue already saide, to the content of God his promises. He alledgeth not here that he had deserued to bee holpen: but he desired to bee defended according to the mercie of God. In this point he setteth before vs his example, to the ende wee might followe him, as this is also the meaning of the holy Ghost, when as he spake by the mouth of Dauid. Now he goeth on for a conclusion and saieth,
Thy word is true from everlasting and all the judgements of thy righteousness endure for evermore.
Thy word is true from euerlasting and all the iudgementes of thy righteousnes endure for euermore.
