<p>Observe here, 1. That there are <i>wondrous things</i> in Gods <i>law</i>, which we are all concerned, and should covet, to <i>behold</i>, not only strange things, which are very surprising and unexpected, but excellent things, which are to be highly esteemed and valued, and things which were long <i>hidden from the wise and prudent</i>, but are now <i>revealed unto babes</i>. If there were wonders in the law, much more in the gospel, where Christ is all in all, whose name is <i>Wonderful</i>. Well may we, who are so nearly interested, desire to behold these wondrous things, when the angels themselves reach <i>to look into them</i>, <a class="bibleref" title="1Pet.1.12" href="/passage/?search=1Pet.1.12">1 Pet. 1:12</a>. Those that would see the wondrous things of Gods law and gospel must beg of him to <i>open their eyes</i> and to give them an understanding. We are by nature blind to the things of God, till his grace cause the scales to fall from our eyes; and even those in whose hearts God has said, <i>Let there be light</i>, have yet need to be further enlightened, and must still pray to God to open their eyes yet more and more, that those who at first <i>saw men as trees walking</i> may come to see all things clearly; and the more God opens our eyes the more wonders we see in the word of God, which we saw not before.</p>
