Here are three steps, by which his estimation of the word of God is to be taken. David saith of a godly man (Psal. 1.2.) His delight is in the law of the Lord. The word there used signifies both will, and delight. Some render it (voluntas) will, and others (voluptas) delight. We may take in both, his will, and his delight is in the law of the Lord, or he delightfully wills it. Would you know where the delight and joy of a Godly man is; it is in the law of the Lord, there 'tis fixed, and no where else comparatively, but in the Lord of the Law. These two are inseparable, he that delights in the Law hath first delighted in the Lord, and he that delights in the Lord, cannot but delight in the Law. There are two metaphors used in Scripture, which show the estimation and delight which Saints have in the law of God, or in the word of his mouth.
