They i. e. the national Israel brake the covenant although God was an husband unto them. But as concerning the elect Israel under the better covenant I will put my law in their inward parts and write it in their hearts, I will be their God, and they shall be my people, saith the LORD. which is in effect the same with Isay 54 13, John 6.45. And they shall be all taught of GOD i.e. They shall not be only taught of man, as others in external covenant only are. These words [They shall be all taught of GOD] are not to be interpreted exclusively so as to exclude the teaching of man: but extensively, so as to include the teaching also of God: witness the cloud of Scripture-instances of all those under the Gospel-dispensation, who were taught of God: but how? by not without the teaching of man. Further the promise undertakes for such a writing of the Law in their hearts such a teaching of God, as that they shall not finally apostate from the Covenant: Jer: 32.40. But I will put my Fear in their hearts, that they shall not depart from me.
