Or rather thus; they take delight ⟨p. 160⟩in them, severally and jointly.
If they look upon any one Saint of God, they have delight in him▪ but they have more to look on all the Saints together jointly; so they can say their souls delight in them, there is a sweet complacency taken in them jointly. And that is that which I shall speak to at this time; The delight that is to be taken in the Saints jointly together. There is delight in the Saints in regard of the sweetness of their society and communion with them. For so this delight of David is to be taken in a large sense; not only in one particular, because of the good that he saw in their persons: but in regard of all the good he saw in them, and by them in joining with them take them altogether jointly. All the good that came from them; so he delighted in them. There is a great deal of delight and contentment to be had in the Saints of God, especially jointly.
