Proved — Or, searched or tried it, by many temptations and afflictions. Night — When mens minds being freed from the distraction of business, and from the society of men, they act more vigorously and freely, according to their several inclinations. Tried — As gold — smiths do metals. Nothing — Nothing of unrighteousness. Purposed — I have resolved, upon deliberation, as the word implies. Mouth — I am so far from practising against Saul's life, as they charge me, that I will not wrong him so much as in a word.
