3. A godly man loves the consolatory part of the* Word, the Promises; he goes feeding upon these, as Sampson went on his way eating the honey-comb, Judg. 14. 8. The Promises; are [Greek or Hebrew], all marrow and sweetness; they are our Bezoar-stone when we are fainting; they are the conduits of the Water of Life, Psal. 94. 19. In the multitude of my thoughts within me, thy comforts ⟨p. 79⟩delight my Soul. The Promises were Davids Harp to drive away sad thoughts; they were the breast which milked out Divine Consolation to him.
