Tasting doth not imply habitual grace. A man may taste that which he never digesteth, nor concocteth. The Israelites tasted of the first fruits of the Land of Canaan, and yet did not enter into Canaan. Such is the joy of the hypocrite. It is outward and superficial: But the delight of a true ⟨p. 78⟩Saint is inward, solid, and substantial. Jeremiah saith, that the Word of God was the joy and rejoicing of his heart, and that he did eat it, Jer. 15. 16. he did not only taste it, but eat it. And Paul saith, Rom. 7. 22. I delight in the Law of God after the inward man; His delights had depth of earth, they were well digested, and concocted.
