AS before he said, that Gods judgements are good, so now he maketh his appeal to this judge: and it is in effect thus much. O Lord my Lord, do any doubt whether I desire thy commandments or not? I appeal unto that eye of thine that seeth all things, behold I desire. &c. I desire to know them, and I desire to obey them, yea with an earnest and ardent affection, I desire both to know and do thy will.
AS before he saide, that Gods iudgements are good, so now hee maketh his appeale to this iudge: and it is in effect thus much. O Lord my Lord, doe any doubt whether I desire thy commandements or not? I appeale vnto that eye of thine that seeth all things, behold I desire. &c. I desire to knowe them, and I desire to obey them, yea with an earnest and ardent affection, I desire both to knowe and doe thy will.
Behold, I find this word used these several ways, 1. As a note of prediction, Isay. 7. 2. Of attention, Psal. 133. 3. Of admiration, Matth. 2. 4. Of admonition, John: 5 14. 5. Of irrision, Joh: 18. 6. Of testification, as in this and other places in which they desire God to behold that, which they are most willing he should be witness of. If God say to man behold, it argues the thing is worth seeing, and that man of himself is unwilling to see it: if man say to God behold, it seems it is a thing not hypocritically counterfeit, and that he would have him to behold it.
