to_o hunger_n after_o and_o take_v true_a pleasure_n in_o the_o word_n and_o as_o it_o be_v impossible_a for_o a_o new_a bear_v child_n not_o to_o delight_v in_o milk_n so_o it_o be_v as_o

the_o word_n dwell_v in_o every_o true_a saint_n it_o be_v certain_a that_o all_o scripture_n be_v of_o divine_a inspiration_n and_o that_o the_o holy_a man_n of_o god_n speak_v as_o they_o be_v

the_o spirit_n they_o be_v sweet_o and_o powerful_o draw_v to_o make_v the_o law_n of_o god_n their_o chief_a delight_n 5_o because_o it_o be_v god_n indictment_n and_o invention_n this_o reason_n

saint_n see_v the_o name_n authority_n power_n wisdom_n and_o goodness_n of_o god_n in_o every_o letter_n of_o it_o and_o therefore_o can_v but_o take_v pleasure_n in_o it_o it_o be_v a_o epistle_n send_v down_o to_o he_o from_o the_o god_n of_o heaven_n it_o be_v one_o of_o the_o great_a love-token_n that_o ever_o god_n give_v to_o his_o church_n there_o be_v two_o great_a gift_n that_o god_n have_v give_v to_o his_o people_n the_o word_n christ_n and_o the_o word_n of_o christ_n both_o be_v unspeakable_o great_a but_o the_o first_o will_v do_v we_o no_o good_a without_o the_o second_o 6_o a_o true_a saint_n can_v but_o delight_v in_o the_o word_n of_o god_n because_o it_o be_v his_o inheritance_n vers_fw-la 111._o thy_o testimony_n have_v i_o take_v as_o a_o heritage_n for_o ever_o for_o they_o be_v the_o rejoice_v of_o my_o heart_n therefore_o they_o be_v the_o rejoice_v of_o his_o heart_n because_o they_o be_v his_o everlasting_a inheritance_n 7_o because_o he_o find_v a_o sweetness_n in_o it_o delight_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o a_o passion_n of_o the_o soul_n arise_v from_o the_o sweetness_n of_o the_o object_n that_o we_o enjoy_v thing_n that_o be_v good_a present_a suitable_a and_o sweet_a be_v the_o object_n of_o our_o delight_n such_o be_v the_o word_n of_o god_n to_o every_o true_a saint_n it_o be_v sweet_a than_o the_o honey_n and_o the_o hony-comb_n psal_n 19_o 10._o so_o also_o psal_n 119.103_o how_o sweet_a be_v thy_o word_n unto_o my_o taste_n yea_o sweet_a than_o honey_n to_o my_o mouth_n a_o saint_n must_v needs_o delight_v in_o it_o it_o be_v so_o suitable_a and_o so_o sweet_a 8_o because_o he_o love_v the_o law_n now_o that_o which_o we_o love_v we_o can_v but_o delight_v in_o when_o we_o come_v to_o enjoy_v it_o a_o true_a

say_v with_o david_n psal_n 119.97_o oh_o how_o do_v i_o love_v thy_o law_n and_o vers_n 127._o i_o love_v they_o commandment_n above_o gold_n yea_o above_o fine_a gold_n and_z vers_n 72._o the_o law_n of_o thy_o mouth_n be_v better_a to_o i_o than_o thousand_o of_o gold_n and_o silver_n now_o because_o the_o saint_n of_o god_n be_v so_o enamour_a with_o the_o law_n of_o god_n therefore_o it_o be_v that_o they_o can_v but_o delight_v in_o it_o as_o david_n say_v psal_n 119.47_o i_o will_v delight_v myself_o in_o thy_o commandment_n which_o i_o have_v love_v he_o that_o love_v the_o
