1The Psalm of David. As the appropriating of the general name of Psalm unto some, doth not prejudice, but that the rest are also Psalms, though they be called Prayers, Canticles, Testimonies, and the like: so the application of David's name to certain Psalms, proveth not other authors of the rest. But the name of Psalm sheweth a spiritual song, apt for musical instrument; and the name of David by interpretation signifieth, that it particularly pertaineth to the beloved.The Psalme of Dauid. As the appropriating of the general name of Psalme vnto some, doth not preiudice, but that the rest are also Psalmes, though they be called Prayers, Canticles, Testimonies, and the like: so the application of Dauids name to certaine Psalmes, proueth not other authores of the rest. But the name of Psalme sheweth a spiritual songue, apt for musical instrument; and the name of Dauid by interpretation signifieth, that it particularly perteyneth to the beloued.
5He that doeth these things. Whereas this, or any other place of holy Scripture, attributeth salvation to certain good works, neither faith, nor other works are thereby excluded, but presupposed as no less necessary, then those which are mentioned. Especially faith is always requisite, without which it is impossible to please God, and other virtues either in practice, or in purpose, and preparation of mind, when and where occasion requireth.He that doeth these thinges.

5Shall not be moved for ever. All states of this world are mutable, and only eternal felicity in heaven shall continue for ever. Therefore this Psalm can not be understood of the Tabernacle, nor Temple of the old Testament, which were but figures of eternal glory. But if so much purity was then required, much more all sincerity, and great sanctity are necessary for entrance into heaven.Shal not be moued for euer. Al states of this world are mutable, and only eternal felicitie in heauen shal continew for euer. Therfore this Psalme can not be vnderstood of the Tabernacle, nor Temple of the old Testament, which were but figures of eternal glorie. But if so much puritie was then required, much more al sinceritie, and great sanctitie are necessarie for entrance into heauen.
