Receive the Law.
Again, We may profitably consider a double derivation of that word which we translate,1 Law. Some say it is from a root that signifies to behold or Contemplate, to Consider, to look about; and the Law is well expressed by a word of that sense, because the whole Law is diligently to be observed and considered, looked into, and meditated upon, we are always to behold it, and that in every part. For the whole Law is copulative, and he that offends in one part offends in all. David speaking of the righteous man, (Psal. 1.2.) saith, he meditates in the law of the Lord day and night. What's meditation? but the Inward view of a thing, or the beholding it with an Intellectual eye; meditation is the continual turning of things over in the mind, to behold the excellencies and perfections that are in them.
