Among all the Books of Scripture the Psalms of David are famous for Variety: Other Books are either Historical, Doctrinal or Prophetical; the Book of Psalms is all.1 It describeth some histories of the Church, foretelleth the passion and resurrection of Christ, and declareth the duty of a Christian. The Psalms, 2saith Gerhard, are a jewel made up of the gold of doctrine, of the pearl of comfort, and of the gems of Prayer. Basil saith, It is a common shop of remedies, 3a compendium of all Divinity, a storehouse of excellent Doctrine for all persons, and in all conditions.
