Speak honourably of his words, Psal. 86.8. Among all the Gods, there is none like unto thee; neither are there any works like unto thy works, Psal. 145.10.
Speak honourably of his Word. The Commandments of the Lord are pure, Psal. 19.7. Thy word is very pure: The Statutes of the Lord are right, Psal. 19.10. The Law is holy, just, and good, Rom. 7.12. Though Paul's corruption took occasion by the Laws prohibitions, to become the more unruly (as the water at a Bridge roars the more for the stop) yet he dares not lay the least fault upon the Law, but layeth all upon himself: was the Law Sin? God forbid, v. 7. Far be it from me to have the least such thought: No, the Law is holy, but I am carnal, sold under sin, v. 14. So when he speaketh of the Gospel, how honourably doth he speak of it? sometimes he calls it the glorious Gospel, 2 Cor. 4.4. the mysteries of the Gospel, Eph. 6.19. the word of Truth, 1 Coloss. 5.
