ISai. 48.17. Thus ſaith the LORD thy Redeemer the Holy One of Iſrael, I am the LORD thy God which teacheth thee to profit, which leadeth you by the way that thou ſhouldeſt go.

Deus. 6. 5. Thou ſhall love the LORD thy GOD with all thy Heart, with all thy Soul, and with all thy Might. 6. Theſe Words, which I command thee this day, ſhall be in thy Heart. 7. And thou ſhall tell them diligently unto thy Children, and ſhall talk to them, when thou ſitteſt in thy houſe, when thy walkeſt by the way, and when thou lieſt down, (illegible text) when thou riſeſt up.

To Meditate on the Law of GOD, is to our beſtow care and thoughts in ſearching out its true ſenſe and meaning: and when we have found it, to lay our minds upon it, till we have ſunk it deep here, and to have written it, as it were in our hearts, and not only but to think ſtill upon it, till it have its due effect and operation, and according to the nature of things revealed, till each part have contributed to the correcting of the temper of our minds, and to the reforming of our Lives, to the repairing of the Image of God in us.
