desire is an act of the minde. The composition of the word importeth such a de∣sire, as ariseth from the heart and is earnest.
It is used to set out both an evill and a good desire, and that also earnest, When 〈◊〉〈◊〉 setteth forth an evil desire, it is ordinarily translated to lust, as Matth. 5. 28. 1 C•…•… 10. 6. Iames 4. 2. In the better sense it is applyed to the desire which right•…•… men had to see the day of Christ, Matth. 13. 17. Luk. 17. 22. And to the 〈◊〉〈◊〉 which the Angels had to look into the mysteries of the Gospell, 1 Pet. •…•…. 1•…•… And to which Christ had to eat the Passeover the last time with his Disci•…•…, Luk. 22. 15. All these were earnest desires. Yea, this word is used to set out 〈◊〉〈◊〉 de sire of such as are hungry to be filled, Luk. 15. 16. and 16. 21. and of such a•…•… 〈◊〉〈◊〉 in anguish, to dye, Rev. 9. 6. These desires use to be very great and earnest. S•…•… was the Apostles in this place.
This compound word then setteth out two points.
- 1. The Apostles milde and gntle disposition.
- 2. His hearty and earnest desire.
The former is intended under the generall force of the word, desire. He 〈◊〉〈◊〉 not authority to command duty, yet he rather intreated them thereto, as 〈◊〉〈◊〉 v. 8, 9.
People are with mildness to be induced to duty, 1 Pet. 2. 11. 2 Iohn v. 5.
Thus will Ministers teaching be like his that said, My Doctrine shall dr•…•…p 〈◊〉〈◊〉 raine: my speech shall distill as the dew: as the small rain upon the tender hearb, 〈◊〉〈◊〉 〈◊〉〈◊〉 the showers upon the grass, Deut. 32. 2. Such teaching will more mollifie hard 〈◊〉〈◊〉 and better soak into them. See more hereof Chap. 3. v. 1. §. 4.
