Thirdly, that of David may be yet objected, Psal. 4.3. The Lord hath set apart for himself the man that is godly. And is so, then it seems he intends to make some profit of him; it is an allusion unto those that vend wares: A Merchant looks upon this and that commodity, and then saith this is for my turn, this I like, set it apart for me. Seeing then the Lo•d sets the godly apart for himself, it sounds as if he meant to make some gain or advantage by him.
