First, In David's time, God required sacrifices and §1burnt offerings, and •ook delight therein; for God answered1 David from heaven by fire, upon the Altar of ⟨p. 88⟩burnt-offering; and David himself advised Saul to offer a burnt offering, that God might accept of it.
Secondly, David was not able, so t• do the will of God, §2as by doing it, to make all sacrifices void; therefore, this must be taken as a Prophecy of Christ.
Thirdly, In the verse before (namely, Psal. 40. 5.) §3such an admiration of God's goodness is premised, as cannot fitly be applied to any other evidence, than of his goodness in giving Christ; in reference to whom, it may be truly said, That eye hath not seen, nor ear heard. neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.
