Proverbs6:21-22
Verſ. 21. Binde them continually] Obſerve them with as much care and conſcience, as thou art bound to do the Law of God given by Moſes, Deut. 6.8. See the Note there.
Ducet & perducet.Verſ. 22. When thou goeſt, it ſhall lead thee] No ſuch guide to God as the Word, which while a man holds to, hee may ſafely ſay, Lord, if I bee deceived, thou haſt deceived mee; If I bee out of the way, thy word hath miſled mee.
When thou ſleepeſt, it ſhall keep thee] If thou ſleep with ſome good meditation in thy mind, it ſhall keep thee from fooliſh and ſinful dreams and fancies, and ſet thy heart in a holy frame, when thou awakeſt. Hee that raketh up his fire at night, ſhall finde fire in the morning. How precious are thy thoughts (that is thoughts of thee) unto mee, O God? Pſal. 139.17. what follows? When I awake, I am still with thee, verſ. 18.
