Psalms — Chapter 15
These annotations are from the original 1609 Douay Old Testament, the first complete English Catholic Bible translation, produced by English scholars in exile at the English College of Douai. The archaic spelling is preserved.
This content was digitized from the original 1609 Douay (Old Testament) and 1582 Rheims (New Testament) print editions by OCR. The OCR process sometimes confused print page numbers with verse numbers, and may have assigned annotations to the wrong chapter. Chapter and verse labels on this page reflect the OCR output from the original print pagination and may not correspond to canonical Scripture chapter/verse numbers. For canonical reference, consult a standard Douay-Rheims edition. The annotation texts themselves are authentic 1609/1582 Douay-Rheims content.
Verse 1
Stylographia signifieth a thing most worthie to be noted, to wit, Christ crucified: and most worthie of the Prophets consideration. Christ as man did often pray, as appeareth in the Ghospel.
Verse 5
Our Lord the portion of mine inheritance. Christ, whom the Iewes expected as an earthly conquerour, was indeed King of Israel. Though he answered that his Kingdom was not of this world (that is, the possession and vse thereof), yet Pilate by Gods prouidence wrote the title. Christs chiefe inheritance and reward of his merits is God himself: which is also the onely true and perfect inheritance of all Christs seruants, wherefore Clergymen more particularly professe the same.
Verse 10
Thou wilt not leaue my soule in hell: in Limbo Patrum. Christ his body corrupted not in the graue. Death and resurrection is the way to life. Perfect glorie consisteth in seeing God.
