Modern spelling is a reading aid: the words are the author’s, only the spelling is modernized. Original shows the page as printed, with the transcription marks.
Use 2. Let us make it appear that we are Saints in deed, and in truth, not only Saints in Mans, but in Gods Calendar, by following the example of holy David, set down in the Text. Let us make the Law of God our joys, and our delights. Let me speak to you in the words of the Apostle, Col. 3. 16. Let the Word of God dwell richly in you, &c. not only with you, but in you. And in the Words of Christ, Joh. 5. 39. Search the Scriptures, for therein you hope to find eternal life. The Greek word signifieth to search, as men do under ground for treasures, or to search as men who dive under water for something that is at the bottom. Let us with Job 23. 12. Esteem the ward of God above our necessary food. Let us love it above gold, yea above fine gold; Let it be dearer to us than thousands of gold and silver, sweeter than the honey ⟨p. 73⟩and the honey-comb.
