But this [shall be] the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people.
Ver. 33. I will put my law in their inward parts.] This the apostle calleth the "law in their minds," opposed to the "law of their members"; Rom 7:23 for the natural man is inversus decalogus, oposed to the law, "he is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be." But God putteth into the hearts of his people the counterpart of his holy law; he stamps, as it were, a decalogue upon their spirits; he puts into them an inward aptness, answering the law of God without, as the lead answereth the mould, wax the seal, as tally answereth tally: or as indenture indenture.
And I will be their God, and they shall be my people.] This promise is divini mellis alveare, as one calleth it, The hive of heavenly honey.
