Ver. 23. That with purpose of heart] As it is recorded of Caleb, that he "fulfilled after God," Num_14:24. Caleb implevit post me. It stands men upon to see that their work, though it be but mean, yet it may be clean; though not fine, yet not foul, soiled and slubbered with the slur of a rotten heart. Let them consent to take whole Christ in all his offices and efficacies, and that pro termino interminabili, never to part more.
