Another reads, Is it any pleasure to the Almighty that thy way is undefiled, Or clean, that thou doest sweep and wash thy way, so that there is no spot to be seen upon it. (Psal. 119.1.) Blessed are the undefiled or perfect in the way. The several ⟨p. 21⟩parts of this Psalm begin with a new Letter,¹ according to the order of the Hebrew Alphabet, intimating that it ought to be learned even of Children, as one of the Ancients infers from it. The undefiled in the way are such (properly) as have been holy or pure from their youth, such as did never corrupt their ways. Timothy is said from a Child to learn the Scriptures. Suppose thy way thus perfect, that none could tax thee with any gross sin, even from thy Child-hood, could this be any gain to the Almighty?
