Yet must we not take this meerly for the exuberance of a Poetical style, much less can we imagine David to be guilty of that Battology, and those vain repetitions in his Devotions which our Saviour condemns in the Heathens, Matth. 6.7. It was their practice to worship Vanity with Vanity, heaping in their Prayers a multitude of empty insignificant names upon their vain and more insignificant Deities. |
