THis boke of [^]Pſalmes is ſet forthe vnto vs by the holie Goſt to be eſtemed as a moſte precious treaſure, wherein all things are conteined that apperteine to true felicitie: aſwel in this life preſent as in the life to come. For the riches of true knowledge, and heauenlie wiſdome are here ſet open for vs, to take thereof moſte abundantly. If we wolde knowe the great, and hie maieſtie of God, here we may ſe the brightnes thereof ſhine moſte clearely. If we wolde ſeke his incomprehenſible wiſdome, here is the ſchole of the ſame profeſsion. If we wolde comprehend his ineſtimable boũtie, and approche nere thereunto, and fil your hands with that treaſure, here we may haue a moſte liuely, and comfortable taſte thereof. If we wolde knowe wherein ſtandeth our ſaluation, and how to atteine to life euerlaſting, here is Chriſt our onely redemer, and mediator moſte euidently deſcribed. The riche man may learne the true vſe of his riches. The poore man may finde ful contentation. He that wil reioyce, ſhal knowe the true ioye, and how to kepe meaſure therein. They that are afflicted and oppreſſed, ſhal ſe wherein ſtandeth their comforte, and how they ought to praiſe God when he ſendeth them deliuerance. The wicked and the perſecuters of the children of God ſhal ſe how the hand of God is euer againſt them: and thogh he ſuffer them to proſper for a while, yet he brideleth them, in ſomuche as they can not touche an heere of ones head, except he permit them, and how in the end their deſtruction is moſte miſerable. Briefly, here we haue moſte preſent remedies againſt all tentations, and troubles of minde and conſcience, ſo that being wel practiſed herein, we may be aſſured againſt all dangers in this life, liue in the true feare, and loue of God, and at length atteine to that incorruptible crowne of glorie, which is laid vp for all them that loue the comming of our Lord Ieſus Chriſt.
