h^MaLion} And the Majforites Bible doth follow both readitig^^hey
didhite ^s a Lm7,~\ I agree with M. Ainfyvorth and
M. Brtughton, thai both readings are alike the work ot the holy
Ghoil, becaufc fomtimcs the holy Ghofl doth annex both readings
together- as in Lffkj^. ai^ from that example Tranllators may
wcli j:>yn both readings together, cfpecially where no uncouthneS
Gi'pl^.ra'e is put inta the Traafiation, as in this Text they may fiitc
well together; an J tl.eret'cre I joyn them Logecher thus, They
have Lie fi. lilif pierced. This piercing is borrowed from Gen. 5
V where God fore-told that the feet or foot-fbaLs of the feed of
1
ths! Woman fhould be pierced;, but David in this PQlm doth foretd,
that Iiis hands (hould be pitrced as well as his feet ; and the
manner alfo is here exprt iTcd, namely, that it fliould be done with
Lion-like cruelty ;
David did not think one word furiScient to fee
and therefore he doth
out the rage of the Scribes and Pharifces,
ouple two words together to expreft it j
fte with what violence
and cagerncfs of rpiric the Scribes and Pharifcs did perfecute our
