VERS. XXIX.
〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, &c.
Let me speak freely, &c.
IT is doubted whether 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 should be rendred I may, or let me: If that which R. Isaac saith, obtained at that time, viz. Those words, my flesh shall rest in hope, teach us 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 That neither worm nor Insect had any power over David u 1.1, then was it agreeable enough that St. Peter should, by way of Preface, crave the leave of his Auditory in speaking of David's being putrified in the Grace; and so the word 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 is well rendred, let me. But I may, pleaseth me best, and by this Paraphrase the words may be illustrated.
That this passage, Thou shalt not leave my soul in Hell, &c. is not to be applied to David himself appears, in that I may confidently averr concern∣ing him, that he was dead and buried, and never rose again, but his Soul was left 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, in the state of the dead, and he saw corruption; for his Sepulchre is with us unto this day, under that very notion that it is the Sepulchre of David who dyed and was there buried; nor is their one syllable any where mentioned of the Resurrection of his body, or the return of his soul 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, from the state of the dead.
I cannot slip over that passage w 1.2 R Jose ben R. ben saith 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 David dyed at Pentecost, and all Israel bewailed him, and offered their Sacrifices the day following.
