And I have written to him the great things of my Law.
From this manner of Phrase, first we are to note this,
That we should look upon the Scripture as concerning our selves. 1Here's a letter written to you, and you, and you, every man and woman, therefore it is in the singular number, every man & woman must look upon the Scripture as written to him, or her particularly; God writes to thee, he hath written a letter to thee that thou shouldest not commit Adultery, nor swear, nor steal, and that thou shouldest keep the Sabbath, and that thou shouldest not lye, and that thou shouldest reverence him, and love him, and fear him, and all such kind of rules that God from Heaven hath written to thee, and it is a marvellous help to obedience ⟨p. 93⟩and to awaken mens consciences when they apprehend them written to them.
