On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

When it not only fills the head with notions, but enters into the heart and has a commanding power and influence upon that,--when it is upon the throne there, and gives law to the affections and passions,--when it enters into the heart as the leaven into the dough, to diffuse its relish there, and to change it into its own image--then it is likely to do us good.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan
