1. An inward desire joined with love, Psal. 119. O that my ways were so directed, that I might keep thy statutes. But then afterward, thy Law is my delight.

2. An habitual inclination, not a pang of the soul, not a mood, not a fit of an ague, not a flash of lightning, not as the morning dew: But my soul breaketh for the longing that it hath unto thy judgements at all times, Psalm 119. 20.

Thirdly, an active purpose; Herein I do exercise or endeavour my self (said Paul) Acts 24. 16. though the purpose in an upright man doth exceed his actions, yet there is some active and working ability with his purpose, he will be doing service to all, to God. It is with evil men in their purposes, as with Pilate, he was purposed to let Christ go, but yet he gave sentence: so they pretend a purpose to please God, but still live in their sins, and do not stir up themselves at all, to all the means by which they may get grace and strength.
