THE PARAPHRASIS. Octo. XVI.

121 LEt them shameleslie imagine what they lust, I haue so behaued my selfe, that no man can worthilie complaine of me, that I haue committed anie thing against him contrarie to right and equi∣tie: doe not deliuer me therefore, I beseech thee, to the lust of the slanderers:

122 But rather laieng a pawne for my sake, regard that I be not oppressed by these proud men.

123 For my verie eies do faile me, waiting for the deliuerance alreadie promised vnto me, and for the perfourmance of thy most iust word.

124 Neither when I desire this, doe I desire anie thing that I haue deserued: but this one thing ra∣ther, that thou wouldest haue mercie vpon me thy poore seruant, and teach me thy statutes.

125 Go to, I beseech thee, seeing I am thy bond-seruant, grant this vnto me, that I may vnderstand and embrace those things that thou hast testified vnto vs, so as it is conuenient.

126 For the time it selfe requireth, ô Lord, that thou laie thy hand to the worke, seeing that these men haue vtterlie ouerthrowne thy doctrine.

127 But contrariwise, thy precepts are more pre∣tious vnto me than anie gold, how much soeuer.

128 For I doe affirme, that al thy commandements are a most certaine rule of equitie, and I abhor as a thing appointed to deceiue vs, whatsoeuer leadeth vs from them.
