SERMON VIII.
PSAL. CXIX. 7. I will praise thee with uprightness of heart, when I shall have learned thy righteous judgments.
IN this Verse David expresseth his esteem of the Word, by telling what he would give for the knowledge and practice of it. As we use to tell a man how thankful we would be if he would do thus and thus for us: So, Lord, if thou wilt give me to learn thy righteous judgments, then I will praise thee, &c.

His promise of praise manifesteth his esteem, which should affect our stupid hearts. The Canon is now larger, and the mysteries of the Word are more clearly unfolded. If the Saints of God were so taken with it before, when there were so scanty and dark representations in comparison of what is now; O what honour and praise do we now owe to God!
