And he doth not this as a special convenience nor yet as a peculiar duty proper to him, but upon such grounds as belong to all, and therefore will call for it of all; vers. 97. Oh how I love thy Law, it is my meditation all the day. Thou wilt not deny but thou art bound to love the Law of God, and then certainly if that cause be there, this effect will of necessity follow. Nay its the guise of all the Saints Psal. 1. 1. 2 its as necessary as not to sit in the seat, walk in the counsels, and stand in the way of sinners, so necessary is it to meditate in the Law of God, and that to have thy set meals, thy appointed times and turns for meditation.
