These are so many, beautiful repetitions of the same important precepts; and all leading to the same point, to intimate the jealousy of the LORD over his people. Reader! only pause and consider what evidences of divine love the life of every truly regenerated disciple of the blessed JESUS is marked with, in the original, free, and unpurchased mercy of the FATHER; the tender and expensive testimonies of the SON, and the gracious tokens of the HOLY GHOST; and then ask yourself whether such unequalled love hath not a just cause for jealousy; and especially, when you and I sometimes, and not unfrequently, allow even the slightest and most trifling things to carry away our mind and affection from the LORD GOD of all our happiness.
