Psalms 49:4 - Wesley's Explanatory Notes

I will — I will hearken what God by his Spirit speaks to me, and that will I now speak to you. A parable — Which properly is an allegorical speech, but is often taken for an important, and withal, dark doctrine or sentence. Open — I will not smother it in my own breast, but publish it to the world. Dark — So he calls the following discourse, because the thing in question ever hath been thought hard to be understood.
