And for the Sufferings of Christ, you read what follows; Who for the joy that was set before him, endured the Cross, despising the shame; for consider him (v. 3.) ⟨p. 441⟩that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, &c. So that thus then, we are to meditate on God upon this account; laying out, and spending our thoughts and meditations upon Christ the Son of God.
But Thirdly, Will you instance in the Word of God? Why, as we are to meditate on Christ, the Son of God, so we are to meditate on the Word of God: Psal. 119.15. I will meditate on thy Precepts, v. 23. Thy Servant did meditate on thy Statutes, v. 48. And I will meditate on thy Statutes, at the 93. v. O how I love thy Law, it is my meditation all the day. The Word of God we are to meditate on; to meditate on God, and the things of God upon this account. Now here are four things, that will lead you out to meditation.
The exactness of the Commandment.
The faithfulness of the Promise.
