Job22:22
22. Receive, I pray thee, the law from his mouth , and lay up his words in thine heart .
Take the Law and Rule whereby thou governest thy thoughts and words, and whole life, not from profane Heathens, whose Opinion concerning God's Providence thou hast embraced, nor from thy own vain imaginations or violent passions, which have led thee into thy present errours and miscarriages, but from God, and from his Word, and from his Law which is written in thy own mind, and from the Doctrines and Instructions of the holy men of God; who are all of our mind in this matter.
i. e. Do not only hear them with thine ears, but let them sink into thy heart, being received there by hearty affection, and fixed by serious and frequent, and practical consideration of them, Psalm 119. 11. Matth. 13. 19, &c. Luke 2. 19, 51.
