'Tis a Law among the Persees in India, To use premeditation in what they are to do, that if it be bad, to reject it, if good, to act it. The Application is easy. The more any man is in the contemplation of truth, the ⟨image 6⟩more fairer and firmer Impression is made upon his heart by truth. Christians must be like the clean Beasts, that parted the hose, and chewed the cud: They must by heavenly meditation chew truths, and concoct truths, or else they will never taste the sweetness that is in Divine truths.
