4 He that delights truly in the Law, will sincerely labour to obey it, and be m•ch grieved when it is disobeyed. ⟨p. 71⟩1 He will sincerely labour to obey it, he will make the Word of God the man of his counsel, vers. •4. Thy testimonies are my delight, but how doth he prove that? in the following words, and my counsellors: He will make the Word a Lamp to his feet, and a light to his paths, vers. 105. In all his undertakings, he will inquire what God would have him to do, and he will make Gods Word his Compass to sail by, and pray with David, vers. 35. Make me to go in the path of thy Commandments, for therein do I delight. 2 He will be much grieved when others transgress the Law of God. Thus David, vers. 53. Horror hath taken hold upon me, because of the wicked that forsake thy Law, and vers. 136. Rivers of waters run down mine eyes because they keep not thy Law.
