THE PARAPHRASIS. Octo. XIII.

97 O How do I loue thy doctrine! surelie I con∣sume whole daies in meditating of the same.

98 And I doe find by experience that I haue not done this in vaine: for I haue prooued to be much wiser by thy precepts than al mine aduersaries, of how great dignitie or authoritie soeuer: for I haue obteined a wisedome that wil neuer forsake me.

99 Yea, thou hast made me better learned than my verie teachers and maisters, euen because I haue giuen my selfe wholie, not to mans inuentions, but to meditate those things onlie, which thou hast gi∣uen vnto vs for sound learning.

100 Finalie, I was more skilful than anie of the an∣cient, euen because I was bent, not onlie to knowe thy cōmandements, but also to keepe them indeed.

101 For I held backe my feete, that I should not go the way that leadeth vnto euil, but that I should alwaies rather hold the waie, which thou hast taught vs by thy mouth.

102 Neither did I turne from thy lawes, but rested vpon thee, my teacher and admonisher.

103 And surelie I felt thy words more pleasant and sweet to my mouth, than if I had tasted honie.

104 Finallie, thy precepts haue taught me true wisedome, and therefore I abhor the other rules of the order of life, as wicked and false.
