O how sweet are thy words unto my throat: yea sweeter then honey unto my moth.
O how sweete are thy woords vnto my throte: yea sweeter then hony vnto my moath.
This sentence hath been already handled, and therefore we will no longer stand upon it. There are two things in the word of God which we ought rightly too keep. The one is, the majesty which God showeth unto us therein, to the end we should be brought to a reverence, whereby every one should humble himself, and say, It is meet O Lord, that we tremble and fall down before thee. As also it is said by the Prophet Isaiah that the spirit of God shall rest upon those which tremble at the word of God. The first duty then that we owe unto the word of God, is this reverence and fear. Because, I say, that God showeth there his majesty unto us, that we might be thereby abased and humbled: to be short that we should have it in great admiration. The second is, that it is sweet and amiable unto us. For we might in some sort very well fear the word of God: and yet for all that we should not be touched therewith as was meet.
This sentence hath beene already handled, and therefore we will no longer stand vpon it. There are two things in the woorde of God which we ought rightly too keepe. The one is, the maiestie which God sheweth vnto vs therein, to the ende we should be brought to a reuerence, whereby euery one should humble himselfe, and say, It is meete O Lord, that we tremble and fall downe before thee. As also it is said by the Prophet Isaiah that the spirite of God shall rest vpon those which tremble at the woorde of God. The firste duetie then that wee owe vntoo the woorde of God, is this reuerence and feare. Because, I say, that God sheweth there his maiestie vnto vs, that we might be thereby abased and humbled: to be short that we should haue it in great admiration. The seconde is, that it is sweete and amiable vnto vs. For we might in some sorte very well feare the worde of God: and yet for all that wee should not bee touched therewith as was meete.
