A little, or a very little: The Hebrew word signifies either a little while, as in Psal. 37. 10. Yet a little while and the wicked shal not be: this is meant of a little time, or the word is used for a little deale, as in Psal. 37. 16.

A little that the righteous man hath, is better then the riches of many wicked: that is, in respect of quantitie, but in Psal. 8. 6. it signifieth a little, or ashort time. It mat∣ters not much, whether wee take it for time, or distance of place.

I passed from them, to wit, from those watchmen, spoken of in the former verse; she stayed not with them, because her beloved was not among them, but continued seeking other where: for it is neither the societie of Brethren, or Church, or Ministers, can com∣fort an affiicted conscience, unlesse Christ be there displaying the beames of his love and favour to the soule.
