4 Our love to Gods word is a trial of our love to God; he that trembleth at Gods word, and is obedient unto his voice, doth better than he that offereth sacrifice, and he that loves Gods word, doth love God, and else not.
4 Our loue to Gods word is a triall of our loue to God; he that trembleth at Gods word, and is obedient vnto his voyce, doth better than he that offereth sacrifice, and he that loues Gods word, doth loue God, and else not.
Where the love of a man is, the practise will be there; Matth 6. where the treasure is, there will be the heart. As the covetous are bent upon their riches, as the adulterer is bent upon his lust, and the gamester on his pastime, is not weary in sitting up whole nights and days: so the godly on Gods law, they study in it night and day, they study not by fits and starts, as some do, but continually. David proveth his love to Gods word, because he placed his whole delight and felicity in it, as appeareth by the grief he had in the want of it.
