Proverbs31:18

Verſ. 18. She perceiveth that her merchandize is good] She feels the ſweet of it: and is heartened to redouble her diligence: as a Draught-horſe feeling his load coming, draws the harder. The good ſoul doth the ſame. For having once taſted how ſweet the Lord is, it can never have enough of him: but is carried after him with ſtrength of deſire, as the Doves to their Columbaries, as the Eagles to the Carcaſes, Pſal. 84.1, 2, 3. No reaſon would ſatisfie Moſes: but when God had done much for him, he muſt ſtill have more, Exod. 33.12, 13, 14, 17, 18, 19. & 34.9.
