2. We ought to hide Gods Word in our heart, 1we may not carelessly let it slip. So will all the fruit and benefit of our reading and hearing be lost,2 as meat, or physic that is vomited up so soon as it is taken.3 But by retaining Gods Word in mind and memory, we shall be provoked the more to do Gods will, and kept from transgressing it: to which purpose ⟨p. 93⟩the Psalmist saith,4 Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee. 5Wherefore let the word of Christ dwell in you richly.
