Salmos 119:130

Psa 119:130 The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple.

Ver. 130. The entrance of thy words giveth light ] So soon as men are over the threshold of thy house, sese lux quaedam inenarrabilis conspiciendam offert, a marvellous light shineth about them; so little cause is there that any should accuse God’s word of darkness and hardness; or give way to negligence and carelessness of the Scriptures, because they are wonderful. Lex, lux, the law is a light, Proverbs 6:23 , and the gospel a great light, Matthew 4:16 2 Peter 1:19 .

It giveth understanding to the simple ] And maketh them subtle, Proverbs 1:4 , so they be but docible. The very first rudiments of religion make wise the rude, so they be not refractory.
