The relation here given so much corresponds to what was before related, 2Kings, that I think it necessary only to direct the Reader to look back, and consult what was there said, in our humble commentary upon it. I would only in addition remark, that if the discovery of the book of the law produced such effects upon the minds of the king and the people, what ought the perpetual use of the book of the gospel to have upon the minds of men in the present day, Surely we shall be of all men most inexcusable if we neglect so great salvation. Reader! how stands the word of God in your estimation, and what are the effects wrought in your heart from the perusal of it! Is it your meditation all the day; and can you say as one of old did, Mine eyes prevent the night watches, that I might meditate on thy word. Psalms 119:148. How delightful a view have we of the prophet in his love of God's word, when he said, thy words were found and I did eat them; and thy word was unto me the joy and rejoicing of mine heart. Jeremiah 15:16.
