My
Sonne
,
giue
me
thy
Heart
.
LEast
in
this
time
of
giuing
and
receiuing
of
gifts
amongst
friends
,
and
acquaintances
,
you
should
be
vnmindefull
of
your
best
friend
,
euen
your
God
;
from
whom
whatsoeuer
good
and
perfect
gift
wee
haue
is
deriued
.
Iames

.
I
haue
made
choise
of
this
Scripture
for
the
subiect
of
my
speech
,
the
better
to
stirre
you
vp
to
present
vnto
God
(
by
way
of
gratefull
acknowledgement
of
his
loue
and
fauour
)
the
best
Iewell
,
or
(
to
vse
Dauids
words
)
the
best
member
that
you
haue
,
euen
your
hearts
;
and
the
rather
because
he
requests
them
at
your
hands
,
in
the
words
of
my
Text
;
My
sonne
,
giue
me
thy
heart
.
If
a
Sonne
would
gratifie
his
Father
,
or
a
friend
his
friend
,
that
loues
him
dearely
,
and
out
of
his
loue
hath
done
much
for
him
,
he
will
consider
with
himselfe
what
his
father
or
his
friend
best
likes
,
and
accordingly
endeuour
to
the
vttermost
of
his
power
to
prepare
it
for
him
.
Beloued
,
our
gracious
God
and
mercifull
redeemer
,
hath
so
dearely
loued
vs
,
and
done
so
much
for
vs
,
as
that
betweene
his
loue
and
created
affections
,
there
holds
no
proportion
.
For
,
suppose
some
great
Prince
should
set
his
affection
vpon
some
poore
man
,
so
farre
as
to
disrobe
himselfe
of
his
royall
apparell
,
cast
off
his
Crowne
,
and
cease
to
be
a
King
,
onely
to
inioy
more
freely
this
poore
mans
company
and
familiaritie
;
certainely
it
would
be
a
great
argument
of
loue
.
Nay
,
suppose
this
Prince
should
yet
goe
further
in
the
manifestation
of
his
loue
,
by
offering
himselfe
willingly
to
die
for
this
his
poore
friend
;
if
his
death
might
be
any
way
auaileable
vnto
him
,
as
Damon
,
it
may
be
,
would
haue
done
for
Pythias
,
or
Pylades
for
Orestes
;
a
greater
testification
of
loue
there
cannot
be
;
and
that
by
the
testimony
of
our
Sauiour
,
Ioh.
15.13
.
Where
he
saith
,
That
greater
loue
then
this
hath
no
man
,
when
any
man
bestoweth
his
life
for
his
friends
.
Yet
notwithstanding
,
all
this
loue
comes
far
short
of
Christs
loue
towards
vs
:
for
he
being
the
Prince
of
peace
from
all
eternitie
,
clad
with
the
royall
robes
of
glory
,
attended
on
with
myriads
of
blessed
Angels
,
swaying
the
scepter
of
the
whole
world
,
sitting
on
the
right
hand
of
his
fathers
maiestie
on
high
,
measuring
the
waters
in
his
fist
,
and
counting
heauen
with
a
spanne
,
and
comprehending
the
dust
of
the
earth
in
a
measure
,
and
weighing
the
mountaines
in
a
weight
,
and
the
hils
in
a
ballance
,
Es.
40.12
.
This
great
Prince
I
say
(
notwithstanding
all
these
prerogatiues
)
was
so
inflamed
with
the
loue
of
vs
poore
creatures
,
the
wretched
broode
of
sinfull
Adam
,
lumpes
of
vanitie
,
masses
of
misery
,
banquerupts
in
respect
of
grace
,
and
captiues
to
sinne
and
Sathan
;
that
he
left
the
brightnesse
of
his
fathers
glorie
,
and
tooke
vpon
him
the
vilenesse
of
our
nature
;
he
forbare
thundering
in
the
cloudes
,
to
crie
in
the
cradle
;
he
left
the
spacious
and
starre-beautified
chamber
of
heauen
,
to
be
lodg'd
in
a
stable
,
crowded
in
a
cratch
,
and
swadled
in
a
few
proore
cloutes
here
on
earth
:
in
a
word
,
The
Word
was
made
flesh
and
dwelt
amongst
vs
;
and
yet
this
is
not
all
:
he
did
not
onely
take
vpon
him
our
flesh
,
and
our
nature
,
but
our
nakednesse
,
our
misery
,
our
pouertie
,
our
shame
;
nay
,
(
that
which
is
yet
beyond
the
conceipt
and
apprehension
of
men
and
Angels
)
hee
tooke
vpon
him
our
mortalitie
;
he
made
himselfe
subiect
vnto
death
for
vs
,
euen
to
that
shamefull
,
painefull
,
racking
,
tormenting
,
lingering
death
of
the
crosse
;
he
was
crucified
for
vs
,
he
had
his
hands
and
his
feet
peirced
and
torne
with
nailes
for
vs
,
his
head
was
crowned
with
thorns
for
vs
,
his
side
and
heart
was
wounded
with
a
speare
for
vs
,
his
hands
,
his
feete
,
his
head
,
his
side
,
his
heart
gusht
out
with
streames
of
bloud
for
vs
,
and
that
,
cum
adhuc
inimici
essemus
,
when
as
yet
we
were
his
enemies
.
Rom.
5.7.8
.
Cum
non
solum
non
existentes
,
sed
etiam
resistentes
,
when
we
were
not
onely
not
existent
,
but
resistent
;
euen
his
professed
foes
,
and
mortall
enemies
:
When
our
hearts
were
as
yet
captiues
to
sinne
and
Sathan
,
fighting
vnder
their
banners
against
him
;
he
spent
the
precious
bloud
of
his
heart
to
redeeme
vs
.
Oh
the
exceeding
loue
of
a
gracious
God
,
to
an
vngracious
people
!
infinite
degrees
beyond
the
affection
of
the
dearest
friend
to
his
friend
.
Well
then
what
remaines
to
be
done
on
our
part
,
but
that
(
by
way
of
gratefull
acknowledgement
of
this
his
vnproportionable
fauour
)
we
present
vnto
him
this
day
for
a
new-yeares
gift
,
the
best
member
that
we
haue
,
euen
our
hearts
;
and
the
rather
,
because
he
askes
them
at
our
hands
,
as
you
may
see
in
the
words
of
my
Text
,
My
Sonne
,
giue
me
thy
heart
.
It
may
be
called
,
Gods
,
demand
of
his
tribute
due
vnto
him
,
from
his
children
;
or
in
fewer
word
,
Gods
call
,
for
Mans
heart
.
In
the
which
(
for
my
better
proceeding
,
and
your
better
perceiuing
)
I
haue
thought
good
to
obserue
these
foure
circumstances
.
-
I.
What
it
is
that
God
would
haue
,
when
he
cals
for
our
Hearts
.
-
II.
The
Persons
,
whose
harts
God
cals
for
,
in
these
words
[
My
Sonne
.
]
-
III.
The
manner
how
he
would
haue
these
persons
Hearts
,
in
this
word
[
Giue
,
]
he
would
haue
them
by
gift
.
-
IIII.
The
Person
to
whom
hee
would
haue
them
giuen
,
in
this
word
[
Mee
,
]
he
would
haue
them
giuen
to
himself
:
My
Sonne
,
giue
mee
thy
heart
.
1.
That
which
God
cals
for
,
to
be
giuen
vnto
him
,
it
is
our
Hearts
,
My
Sonne
,
giue
mee
thy
Heart
.
That
you
may
the
better
vnderstand
what
he
meanes
when
he
cals
for
our
hearts
,
consider
I
pray
you
the
seuerall
acceptations
of
this
word
Heart
.
This
word
Heart
,
it
is
taken
either
properly
,
or
improperly
.
First
,
properly
,
so
it
signifies
that
dissimilar
part
,
that
internall
pyramidall
,
or
triangular
fleshly
substance
within
the
body
of
man
,
which
the
Philosophers
call
the
chaire
of
state
,
or
throne
of
the
soule
,
the
seate
of
the
affections
,
the
consistorie
of
mans
thoughts
and
meditations
,
conceits
and
imaginations
,
the
fountaine
of
the
vitall
spirits
,
the
first
member
of
man
that
liues
,
and
the
last
that
dies
.
Secondly
,
improperly
,
and
so
it
is
taken
either
Synecdochically
,
or
Metaphorically
,
or
Metonimically
.
First
,
in
a
Synecdochicall
acceptation
,
it
signifies
the
whole
man
,
as
well
his
body
as
his
soule
;
and
in
this
sence
our
Sauiour
vnderstood
it
,
when
in
Luke
21.34
.
he
bids
vs
,
Take
heede
lest
at
any
time
our
hearts
be
ouercome
with
surfetting
and
drunkennes
:
Here
the
heart
which
is
but
a
part
of
man
,
is
by
a
Synecdoche
taken
for
the
whole
man
,
for
drunkennesse
is
hurtfull
both
to
body
and
soule
.
Secondly
,
Metaphorically
,
so
it
signifies
either
the
pith
of
a
plant
or
tree
,
by
which
vegetatiue
life
and
motion
is
conueyed
from
the
roote
to
the
branches
,
or
else
the
courage
and
valour
of
a
man
,
so
that
a
stout
and
valiant
man
is
oftentimes
called
a
Heart
.
Thirdly
,
Metonymically
,
and
so
(
if
you
take
the
subiect
for
the
accidents
)
it
signifies
the
vnderstanding
and
the
sinceritie
of
the
affections
of
the
heart
.
Now
when
the
Lord
cals
for
our
hearts
,
he
cals
not
for
them
in
a
proper
acceptation
,
nor
in
an
improper
Synecdochycall
or
Metaphoricall
sence
;
but
(
as
I
conceiue
)
chiefely
,
and
principally
,
in
a
Metonymicall
meaning
:
so
that
when
the
Lord
cals
for
our
hearts
,
he
cals
for
our
vnderstanding
,
for
our
loue
,
for
our
feare
,
for
our
confidence
:
hee
cals
for
the
sinceritie
of
our
hearts
in
singing
of
Psalmes
,
in
Prayer
,
in
hearing
the
Word
,
in
receiuing
the
Sacraments
:
My
Sonne
,
giue
me
thy
heart
;
that
is
,
know
me
with
thy
heart
,
loue
me
with
thy
heart
,
feare
me
with
thy
heart
,
trust
in
me
with
thy
heart
,
sing
vnto
me
with
thy
heart
,
pray
vnto
me
with
thy
heart
,
heare
my
word
with
thy
heart
,
receiue
the
Sacraments
with
thy
heart
:
whatsoeuer
thou
doest
in
my
seruice
,
doe
it
with
thy
heart
,
and
it
shall
be
acceptable
vnto
me
.
So
that
when
the
Lord
requires
our
hearts
,
he
requires
the
sinceritie
of
them
in
the
performance
of
these
eight
duties
,
as
I
shall
indeauour
to
proue
by
seuerall
places
of
Scripture
.
1.
First
we
must
studie
to
know
and
vnderstand
what
God
is
,
we
must
set
the
meditations
of
our
hearts
aworke
about
it
.
[

Knowledge
.
Hence
is
it
that
the
Lord
promiseth
to
giue
his
people
A
heart
to
know
him
to
be
the
Lord
.
Ier.
24.7
.
Whence
I
obserue
,
that
vnlesse
our
hearts
be
inflamed
with
a
speciall
touch
of
grace
to
meditate
vpon
God
,
and
to
study
to
know
him
,
so
farre
forth
as
he
is
pleased
to
make
himselfe
knowne
in
his
word
,
we
can
neuer
giue
him
our
hearts
,
as
hee
requires
.
Let
vs
then
bend
our
hearts
to
that
end
,
for
which
he
gaue
them
vnto
vs
.
He
gaue
vs
our
hearts
to
studie
to
know
him
:
Oh
let
vs
render
to
him
our
hearts
againe
,
by
imploying
our
best
indeuours
in
this
businesse
.
Which
we
shall
doe
,
if
we
be
diligent
readers
,
hearers
,
and
meditatours
of
his
word
,
especially
that
part
of
his
word
,
by
which
he
is
pleased
to
make
himselfe
knowne
vnto
vs
in
his
Essence

,
Names
and

When

cals
for

he
cals
for
the

Now
he
that
loues
God
with

will
delight
to
be
in

,
lauding

He

he

because
God
hates

and
hate

,
because
they
hate
God
:
he
will
loue
righteousnesse
,
because
God
loues

and
he
will
loue

because
they
loue

:
hee
will
be
more
sensible
of

then
of

he
will
loue
the

in

in

,
(
though

in

more
deare
then

These

are
the
properties
of
that
man
that
loues
God
with
all
his

,
and
with
all
his

But
if
we
take
no
delight
to
be
in
the
house
of
God
,
if
it
be
tedious
vnto
vs
to

Feare
.
When
God
would
haue
our
hearts
,
he
would
haue
our
feare
;
My
Sonne
,
giue
me
thy
heart
;
that
is
,
giue
me
the
feare
of
thy
heart
,
or
feare
me
with
thy
heart
.
Hence
is
that
Samuel
exhorts
the
people
to
offer
vp
vnto
God
the
feare
of
their
hearts
,
1
Sam.
12.24
.
Feare
you
the
Lord
,
and
serue
him
in
the
truth
,
with
all
your
hearts
,
&c.
And
in
Deut.
10.12
.
Moses
tels
the
Israelites
,
that
the
Lord
requireth
nothing
else
at
their
hands
;
but
to
feare
him
,
and
walke
in
his
waies
,
to
loue
him
,
and
serue
him
with
all
their
hearts
,
and
with
all
their
soules
.
Questionlesse
there
is
none
of
you
that
heare
me
this
day
,
but
will
say
he
feares
God
with
all
his
heart
;
but
it
is
not
inough
to
say
so
,
vnlesse
it
appeare
so
by
tryall
.
Well
then
,
if
thou
feare
the
Lord
with
thy
heart
,
certainely
thy
feare
will
be
filiall
,
it
will
be
such
as
the
feare
of
a
sonne
in
respect
of
his
father
;
thou
wilt
be
more
fearefull
to
offend
him
,
then
to
beare
the
punishment
of
offence
:
thou
wilt
be
fearefull
to
commit
any
sinne
in
priuate
,
or
in
the
darke
,
because
thou
art
certaine
the
eye
of
God
is
vpon
thee
:
thou
wilt
be
more
troubled
at
the
threats
of
Gods
Word
,
then
at
the
checks
of
a

,

But
if
thy

;
if
thou

more
the

then
the

;
if
thou

so
contrary

fearing

thou

Confidence
.
When
God
cals
for
our
hearts
,
he
cals
for
our
trust
and
confidence
:
My
Sonne
,
giue
me
thy
heart
,
that
is
,
relie
vpon
mee
with
thy
heart
,
lay
thy
trust
and
confidence
on
mee
with
thy
heart
:
Thus
did
Dauid
giue
God
his
heart
,
Ps.
130.5
.
I
haue
waited
on
the
Lord
(
saith
he
)
My
soule
hath
waited
,
and
I
haue
trusted
in
his
word
.
And
againe
,
in
Ps.
28.7
he
saith
thus
,
The
Lord
is
my
strength
and
my
shield
,
mine
heart
trusted
in
him
,
and
I
was
helped
;
therefore
mine
heart
shall
reioyce
,
and
with
my
song
will
I
praise
him
.
And
as
Dauid
trusted
in
the
Lord
,
so
must
we
:
We
must
trust
in
the
Lord
with
all
our
hearts
,
and
not
leane
vnto
our
owne
wisedome
,
Pro.
3.5
.
We
must
haue
recourse
vnto
him
,
as
to
our
onely
shield
and
buckler
to
defend
vs
against
the
oppositions
of
our
spirituall
and
temporall
aduersaries
,
as
to
our
onely
helpe
to
saue
and
deliuer
vs
in
all
our
distresses
,
and
as
to
our
onely
preseruer
,
to
giue
vs
all
good
and
necessarie
blessings
,
both
for
body
and
soule
:
We
must
relie
vpon
him
,
wait
vpon
him
,
and
repose
our
trust
in
him
without
respect
either
to
reason
,
to
meanes
,
or
likelyhoods
.
This
if
we
doe
,
we
trust
in
the
Lord
with
our
hearts
:
But
if
when
we
see
no
outward
meanes
of
helpe
,
we
faile
in
our
hopes
,
as
the
Israelites
did
,
Ps.
78.20
.
If
when
we
are
sick
,
we
send
for
the
Physician
before
wee
seeke
to
God
,
as
Asa
did
,
2
Cro.
16.12
.
If
when
some
bone
of
sinnes
body
doth
as
it
were
sticke
in
the
throat
of
our
guiltie
consciences
,
we
hope
to
wash
it
downe
with
a
cuppe
of
Sacke
,
as
many
lewd
surfetters
on
pleasure
doe
.
If
when
we
be
in
any
strait
,
we
make
flesh
our
arme
,
Ier.
17.5
.
If
we
repose
our
trust
in
our
owne
or
others
with
and
policie
,
in
our
owne
or
others
strength
.
If
we
say
to
the
wedge
of
gold
,
thou
art
my
confidence
,
Iob
31.24
.
or
to
the
sword
thou
art
my
safegard
,
or
to
Physicke
,
thou
art
my
health
,
or
Flectere
sinequeo
superos
Acheronta

.
if
God
forsake
me
,
if
nature
forsake
me
,
i
le
goe
to
Egypt
for
helpe
,
Is.
31.1
.
nay
to
hell
for
helpe
:
i
le
see
what
Crossing
can
doe
,
what
Holy
water
can
doe
,
what
Popes
pardons
can
doe
:
and
if
all
this
will
not
doe
,
i
le
haue
recourse
to
Charmes
and
Exorcismes
,
to
Spels
and
Incantations
,
&c.
If
with
the
Prince
of
Israel
wee
will
not
beleeue
Elisha
,
I
meane
Gods
Ministers
,
when
out
of
the
word
they
promise
vs
preseruation
and
support
,
against
the
miseries
and
crosses
of
this
world
,
against
famine
and
want
,
and
say
as
he
did
,
2
Ki.
7.2
.
Though
the
Lord
would
make
windowes
in
heauen
,
can
this
thing
come
to
passe
?
If
we
will
trust
God
no
further
then
we
see
him
,
either
actually
reaching
vnto
vs
his
benefits
,
or
laying
before
vs
the
meanes
probable
in
our
conceit
to
attaine
them
,
then
doe
we
not
trust
in
him
with
our
hearts
,
because
wee
relye
not
on
him
without
respect
to
reason
,
meanes
,
or
likelyhoods
.

Singing
of
Psalmes
When
the
Lord
calles
for
our
Hearts
,
hee
calles
for
our
hearts
in
singing
:
when
we
sing
Psalmes
,
we
must
sing
with
our
hearts
.
To
this
the
holy
Ghost
exhorts
vs
by
the
pen
of
the
Apostle
,
Col.
3.16
.
when
hee
bids
vs
Sing
to
the
Lord
with
a
grace
in
our
hearts
,
Wee
must
exercise
the
graces
of
our
hearts
in
singing
;
Wee
must
sing
to
the
Lord
,
that
is
,
with
an
eye
to
his
glory
,
with
sence
of
his
presence
,
with
commemoration
of
his
blessings
;
and
wee
must
sing
with
our
hearts
,
not
with
our
tongues
onely
,
outwardly
for
ostentation
,
but
with
vnderstanding
,
Psa.
47.7
with
sence
and
feeling
:
Hence
is
it
that
our
hearts
are
to
be
prepared
before
wee
sing
,
Psal.
57.7
.
and
hence
is
it
that
Dauid
bids
his
tongue
awake
,
Psal.
57.8
.
noting
that
he
obserued
in
men
a
lethargie
;
not
a
hoarsenesse
in
voyce
,
but
a
slumber
in
heart
,
when
they
vsed
the
voyce
.
We
must
therefore
sing
to
the
Lord
with
our
hearts
,
yea
with
the
graces
of
our
hearts
,
that
is
,
with
a
holy
ioy
,
Psal.
9.2
.
with
trust
in
Gods
mercyes
,
Psal.
13.5
.
with
a
holy
commemoration
of
his
benefits
,
Ps.
47.6
.
yea
,
with
the
prayer
and
desires
of
our
hearts
,
that
our
words
in
singing
may
be
acceptable
,
Psal.
104.33.34
.
Perswading
our selues
that
it
is
not
the
sweet
voyce
,
but
the
zealous
vow
,
not
the
harmonious
sound
,
but
the
hearts
soundnesse
that
makes
melodie
in
the
eares
of
God
;
exprest
by
the
Poet
thus
:
Non
vox
sed
votum
,
non
musica
chordula
sed
cor
,
Non
clamans
sed
amans
clangit
in
aure
Dei
.
But
if
we
sing
Psalmes
as
we
doe
common
Songs
and
Ballads
,
more
to
delight
our
owne
&
others
eares
,
then
to
testifie
our
gratefull
acknowledgement
of
Gods
mercyes
:
If
we
sing
more
for
ordinary
recreation
,
then
for
zealous
deuotion
:
If
we
respect
more
the
musick
then
the
matter
:
If
wee
care
not
how
harsh
the
intention
of
our
hearts
be
,
so
our
voyces
be
tunable
;
wee
sing
not
to
the
Lord
with
such
a
grace
in
our
hearts
as
hee
requires
,
wee
giue
him
not
our
hearts
in
singing
of
Psalmes
.

Prayer
.
The
Lord
calles
for
our
hearts
in
Prayer
.
When
we
pray
we
must
pray
with
our
hearts
.
This
Dauid
knew
well
,
when
in
Psal.
51.17
.
hee
saith
,
that
God
will
not
despise
a
broken
and
contrite
heart
.
Whence
I
obserue
,
that
(
because
the
prayers
which
proceede
from
a
broken
and
contrite
heart
are
neuer
slighted
by
the
Lord
)
when
wee
pray
,
if
we
hope
to
speede
,
we
must
pray
with
a
broken
heart
,
with
a
wounded
spirit
:
When
wee
offer
vp
any
petition
to
the
Lord
(
if
we
expect
an
answere
)
wee
must
offer
vp
our
hearts
:
For
if
we
offer
our
lips
insteade
of
our
hearts
,
it
is
no
meruaile
if
God
giue
vs
stones
instead
of
bread
,
that
is
,
a
shadow
of
comfort
,
instead
of
reall
comfort
.
Non
labia
vitulorum
,
sed
vituli
labiorum
:
It
is
not
the
calues
lippes
,
but
the
calues
of
our
lippes

are
acceptable
to

Hearing
of
the
Word
.
The
Lord
requires
our
hearts
in
the
hearing
of
his
Word
,
and
therefore
in
Luk.
8.15
.
he
makes
the
hearing
of
the
Word
with
a
good
heart
,
a
note
of
the
best
hearers
,
comparing
them
to
the
best
ground
that
brings
forth
the
best
fruit
.
Hence
it
is
also
that
Dauid
inclined
his
heart
vnto
Gods
Testimonies
,
Ps.
119.36
.
and
hid
his
word
in
his
heart
,
that
he
might
not
sinne
.
Ps.
119.11
.
When
then
we
come
to
Church
,
we
should
settle
our
harts
;
that
is
,
our
●ffections
,
our
zeales
,
our
attentions
,
to
heare
the
Word
either
redde
or
preached
.
When
Christ
puts
his
hand
to
the
hole
of
the
dore
,
our
hearts
should
(
with
the
spouse
in
the
Canticles
)
be
affectioned
towards
him
.
When
he
talkes
with
vs
by
the
way
of
this
our
pilgrimage
,
our
hearts
,
with
the
two
Disciples
that
went
to
Emaus
,
should
burne
within
vs
.
When
the
Minister
of
Gods
word
is
deliuering
his
message
,
which
the
Lord
hath
put
into
his
mouth
,
we
should

the
noble
Emperour

Receiuing
the
Sacraments
.
Lastly
,
the
Lord
would
haue
vs
offer
vp
our
hearts
vnto
him
,
when
we
receiue
the
Sacrament
.
It
is
not
then
but
vpon
good
ground
,
that
the
Minister
(
before
the
administration
of
the
Lords
Supper
)
exhorts
the
people
to
lift
vp
their
hearts
,
wee
lift
them
vp
vnto
the
Lord
:
or
to
vse
the
words
of
the
Prophet
,
Ps.
25.1
.
Vnto
thee
O
Lord
,
lift
we
vp
our
soules
.
Well
is
it
then
which
the
Church
of
Scotland
saith
,
that
the
onely
way
to
receiue
the
Lords
Supper
worthily
,
is
to
lift
vp
our
minds
by
faith
aboue
all
things
worldly
and
sensible
,
and
thereby
to
enter
into
heauen
,
that
we
may
finde
and
receiue
Christ
where
he
dwelleth
.
We
must
not
thinke
(
as
the
Papists
vainely
imagine
)
that
we
hold
Christ
bodily
in
our
hands
,
and
masticate
him
in
our
mouthes
,
when
we
receiue
and
eat
the
Bread
;
but
receiuing
the
Bread
and
Wine
,
as
the
symboles
of
his
body
and
bloud
,
we
should
lift
vp
our
hearts
to
heauen
,
where
he
sitteth
at
the
right
hand
of
his
father
,
and
where
he
must
continue
till
the
time
that
all
things
are
restored
,
Act.
3.21
.
And
thus
much
be
spoken
of
the
matter
of
Gods
demand
;
namely
,
of
that
which
he
requires
at
our
hands
,
when
he
cals
for
our
hearts
,
My
Sonne
,
giue
mee
thy
heart
;
that
is
,
apply
thy
heart
vnto
me
in
receiuing
the
Sacraments
,
in
hearing
the
Word
,
in
Prayer
,
in
singing
of
Psalmes
,
settle
thy
heart
to
depend
on
me
,
to
feare
me
,
to
loue
me
,
to
know
me
:
Me
I
say
,
that
haue
done
for
thee
then
any
created
vnderstanding
can
conceiue
.
II.
And
so
I
passe
from
the
matter
what
must
be
giuen
,
to
the
person
that
must
giue
,
exprest
in
these
words
[
My
Sonne
.
]
The
Lord
cals
for
the
hearts
of
his
children
:
My
Sonne
,
giue
me
thy
heart
.
Whence
I
obserue
,
that
a
childe
of
God
owes
no
lesse
to
his
heauenly
father
,
then
his
heart
.
For
if
a
seruant
owe
his
industry
to
his
maister
,
that
paies
him
his
hire
;
if
a
Sonne
owe
his
obedience
to
his
Parents
that
prouides
him
maintenance
:
if
a
subiect
owne
his
allegiance
to
his
Prince
,
that
defends
him
from
theeues
,
in
respect
of
his
goods
,
and
from
murtherers
,
in
respect
of
his
life
;
I
see
no
reason
,
why
we
that
stand
in
the
relation
of
Seruants
,
of
Sonnes
,
of
Subiects
,
of
things
of
nothing
,
of
things
worse
then
nothing
vnto
God
,
as
our
Creator
,
our
Redeemer
or
Master
,
our
Father
,
our
King
,
our
Protector
or
defender
:
should
not
be
so
much
indebted
vnto
him
as
our
hearts
comes
too
,
as
our
soules
comes
too
,
as
all
that
is
within
vs
comes
too
.
We
owe
then
to
God
,
no
lesse
then
our
hearts
;
if
they
were
not
his
due
,
he
would
neuer
demand
them
.
[

III.
My
Sonne
,
giue
me
thy
heart
;
that
is
,
giue
it
mee
.
-
1.
Instantly
,
without
delay
.
-
2.
Wholy
,
with
out
reseruation
.
-
3.
And
freely
,
without
repining
.
1.
First
,
we
must
giue
our
hearts
vnto
God
instantly
,
without
delay
:
for
so
much
the
words
Cedò
,
or
Prebe
import
:
giue
me
thy
heart
presently
,
or
out
of
hand
,
euen
before
thou
goe
out
of
the
Church
.
The
Lord
is
impatient
of
delaies
,
we
must
therfore
be
as
quick
in
answering
his
call
,
as
an
Eccho
in
redoubling
our
voyce
.
This
quicknesse
was
in
Dauid
,
when
the
Lord
bad
him
seeke
his
face
,
hee
answers
like
an
eccho
,
Thy
face
Lord
will
I
seeke
,
Psal.
27.9
.
Euen
so
beloued
,
now
that
the
Lord
bids
vs
giue
vnto
him
our
hearts
,
let
vs
instantly
answer
him
,
O
Lord
we
giue
thee
our
hearts
.
Many
would
take
a
day
with
the
Lord
for
giuing
vp
their
hearts
;
they
are
loath
to
part
with
them
vpon
the
sodaine
.
The
poore
man
would
be
borne
withall
till
he
be
rich
;
the
rich
man
,
till
he
be
sicke
;
the
sicke
man
,
till
he
haue
recouered
his
health
;
the
healthy
and
strong
man
,
till
he
be
weake
;
the
weake
and
feeble
man
,
till
he
be
strong
againe
;
the
young
man
,
till
he
be
old
;
the
old
man
,
till
he
feele
the
signes
of
death
;
the
lasciuious
man
,
till
his
lust
be
satisfied
;
the
enuious
man
,
till
he
be
reuenged
on
his
enemie
;
the
Merchant
,
till
his
trade
be
good
;
the
Parent
,
till
his
children
be
prouided
for
;
the
childe
,
till
he
haue
his
patrimony
in
his
owne
dispose
;
the
seruant
,
till
he
be
a
master
;
and
the
master
,
till
he
haue
seruants
to
his
owne
likeing
,
and
then
certainely
God
shall
haue
their
hearts
:
But
,
Qui
non
est
hodie
,
cras
minus
aptus
erit
.
Hee
that
is
not
willing
to
part
with
his
heart
to
day
,
will
be
lesse
willing
to
morrow
:
For
the
longer
hee
suffers
his
heart
to
be
in
the
possession
of
his
ease
,
or
his
profit
,
or
his
pleasure
;
hee
shall
with
the
more
difficulty
get
it
out
of
their
fingers
,
to
bestow
it
on
God
.
Indeed
if
it
were
in
our
owne
powers
to
take
our
hearts
from
pleasure
and
vanitie
,
&
giue
them
to
God
at
our
list
,
there
might
be
some
colourable
reason
for
delay
;
or
if
wee
had
each
of
vs
two
hearts
,
wee
might
aduenture
one
,
to
see
what
would
come
of
it
:
But
seeing
God
hath
giuen
to
each
of
vs
one
onely
heart
,
and
that
heart
not
in
our
own
power
neither
to
be
stow
on
God
when
we
wil
;
we
shuld
be
afraid
to
keepeit
from
him
when
hee
calles
for
it
.
Oh
then
my
deare
christian
Brethren
,
let
vs
for
euer
take
heed
,
lest
if
with
Argus
,
we
listen
too
long
to
the
Mercury
pipe
of
Gods
long-suffering
,
we
be
cast
into
a
dead
sleepe
of
securitie
,
to
the
vtter
seperation
of
our
hearts
from
God
.
Delayes
(
as
for
the
most
part
in
our
ciuill
negotiation
with
men
,
so
euermore
,
and
especially
,
in
our
spirituall
commerce
with
God
)
are
very
dangerous
.
If
God
would
not
haue
vs
say
vnto
our
neighbour
,
goe
and
come
againe
,
and
to
morrow
I
will
giue
thee
,
if
we
now
haue
that
which
hee
desires
,
and
wee
can
well
spare
,
Pro.
3.28
.
much
lesse
when
he
himselfe
askes
our
hearts
for
himselfe
,
will
hee
be
patient
of
a
repulse
till
to
morrow
,
much
lesse
till
a
weeke
be
ouer
,
much
lesse
till
a
month
be
ouer
,
much
lesse
till
a
yeere
be
ouer
,
much
lesse
till
old
age
,
and
dotage
,
and
weakenesse
,
and
sicknesse
,
and
death
seaze
vpon
vs
.
Let
vs
consider
Gods
case
by
our
owne
.
If
we
be
delayd
in
our
suites
,
if
our
expectation
be
put
off
from
day
to
day
,
are
not
our
hearts
in
a
manner
alienated
from
them
on
whom
our
hope
depends
?
Are
not
our
hearts
possest
with
faintnesse
?
Pro.
13.12
.
How
much
more
should
we
thinke
will
God
be
auerse
from
vs
,
if
wee
repell
his
suite
for
our
hearts
with
delayes
?
Oh
then
let
vs
sacrifice
our
hearts
vnto
him
,
whilest
it
is
called
to
day
,
lest
if
wee
stay
till
to
morrow
,
hee
will
not
receiue
them
,
though
we
present
them
with
tears
.
2
Againe
,
God
requires
that
we
giue
him
our
hearts
,
not
onely
instantly
without
delay
,
but
wholy
without
reseruation
:
My
sonne
,
giue
me
thy
heart
,
that
is
,
thy
whole
heart
:
not
one
peece
to
day
,
and
another
to
morrow
,
but
all
at
once
:
not
halfe
thy
heart
,
but
all
thy
heart
;
Deut.

Many
of
vs
I
feare
are
like
a
woman
that
hath
many
sutors
,
who
(
willing
to
giue
them
all
content
)
speakes
louingly
to
one
,
smiles
vpon
another
,
winkes
vpon
a
third
,
and
entertaines
the
fourth
,
and
the
fift
,
and
so
the
rest
,
with
some
such
other
glaunce
or
gesture
of
affection
,
and
yet
notwithstanding
shee
would
make
her
husband
beleeue
that
he
hath
her
heart
:
Euen
so
beloued
,
although
wee
haue
in
Baptisme
solempnely
betrothed
our
hearts
and
soules
vnto
our
Lord
and
Sauiour
Iesus
Christ
,
and
haue
promised
to
forsake
the
Diuell
,
the
World
,
&
the
Flesh
,
and
to
reserue
our
soules
as
chaste
Brides
for
his
bed
;
yet
when
the
world
shal
haunt
our
company
,
and
present
vs
with
a
mappe
of
his
vanityes
,
when
the
Flesh
shall
assaile
vs
,
when
any
kind
of
sinne
shall
offer
vs
either
profit
or
pleasure
,
to
pollute
our
hearts
with
impure
spawne
;
wee
will
speake
one
faire
,
wincke
vpon
another
,
and
entertaine
the
rest
with
some
secret
smile
or
glance
of
fauour
;
thinking
neuerthelesse
to
make
our
Sauiour
beleeue
that
he
onely
hath
our
hearts
:
Indeede
if
his
knowledge
were
like
mans
,
he
might
be
deceiued
with
shewes
and
protestations
:
but
seeing
he
alone
is
the
almighty
heart-searcher
,
hee
alone
knowes
the
deceit
and
hypocrisie
of
these
protestations
;
he
sees
that
we
loue
him
scarce
with
halfe
an
heart
,
and
therefore
diuorces
himselfe
from
vs
,
and
turnes
vs
ouer
to
our
owne
lewdnesse
:
he
must
haue
all
our
hearts
,
or
none
at
all
.
Suppose
a
man
should
offer
his
Creditor
halfe
the
money
which
he
owes
him
,
is
it
likely
that
it
would
be
accepted
,
especially
when
he
knowes
his
Debtor
to
be
of
abilitie
to
pay
all
?
How
much
lesse
then
should
we
imagine
that
God
will
accept
of
halfe
our
hearts
,
when
we
owe
him
all
,
and
especially
,
when
he
giues
abilitie
to
pay
all
?
The
vnnaturall
Mother
would
haue
the
childe
deuided
,
but
the
naturall
Mother
,
rather
then
shee
would
yeelde
to
that
,
offered
to
resigne
her
interest
to
the
other
,
1
Kin.
3.28
.
So
the
Diuell
tels
vs
he
would
haue
but
halfe
our
hearts
,
and
that
God
should
haue
the
other
:
but
God
will
accept
of
no
such
conditions
;
he
scornes
to
part
stakes
with
the
Diuell
:
if
the
Diuell
haue
one
halfe
,
let
him
take
the
other
too
:
God
can
indure
no
Copesmate
;
he
must
haue
all
,
or
none
at
all
.
3.
And
that
f●eely
too
,
without
grudging
,
without
repining
.
We
must
not
answere
God
when
he
cals
for
our
hearts
as
Nabal
answered
Dauids
messengers
,
when
they
intreated
prouision
of
meat
for
their
Master
and
themselues
,
1
Sam.
25.
But
we
must
giue
our
hearts
as
freely
as
we
would
giue
any
thing
to
our
friend
,
that
is
in
our
owne
possession
.
But
soft
,
it
were
not
amisse
if
I
propounded
a
question
:
Haue
all
of
vs
that
are
here
present
hearts
to
giue
or
no
?
or
rather
are
not
some
of
vs
here
without
hearts
?
yes
certainely
:
If
there
be
amongst
vs
any
Worldling
,
or
voluptuous
person
,
or
Epicure
,
or
Drunkard
,
or
Cheator
,
or
busie-bodie
,
or
enuious
person
,
or
the
like
,
they
are
here
without
their
hearts
.
The
Couetous
mans
heart
is
where
his
treasure
is
;
Where
your
treasure
is
,
there
will
your
hearts
be
also
:
The
Voluptuous
mans
heart
is
where
his
wenches
are
:
the
Epicures
heart
is
where
his
dainties
are
:
the
Drunkards
heart
is
where
good
liquor
is
:
the
Cheaters
heart
is
where
gamesters
are
;
the
busie-bodies
heart
is
where
contentions
are
;
and
the
enuious
mans
heart
is
where
the
person
is
whom
he
hates
.
If
there
be
any
such
here
(
as
it
may
be
there
are
,
)
Oh
call
home
your
hearts
while
it
is
called
to
day
,
and
to
day
present
them
as
an
acceptable
sacrifice
to
him
that
hath
long
since
bought
them
with
the
precious
bloud
of
his
deare
Sonne
.
IIII.
And
so
I
come
to
the
fourth
and
last
circumstance
of
my
Text
,
which
is
the
Person
to
whom
we
are
to
giue
our
hearts
,
set
downe
in
this
word
[
Mee
,
]
My
Sonne
,
giue
Mee
thy
heart
.
Whence
I
obserue
,
that
God
onely
is
the
primary
,
and
chiefe
obiect
of
our
hearts
,
and
so
(
by
a
consequence
)
of
our
vnderstandings
,
wills
,
and
affections
.
Of
our
vnderstandings
,
becaúse
the
chiefest
truth
:
of
our
wills
and
affections
,
because
the
chiefest
good
.
Other
things
there
are
,
about
which
those
faculties
may
lawfully
be
imployed
:
as
for
example
,
the
Vnderstanding
may
bee
exercised
about
the
knowledge
of
the
vniuersall
and
generall
,
singular
and
indiuiduall
natures
of
substances
and
accidents
;
as
also
about
the
images
,
representations
,
and
priuations
of
those
reall
beings
.
And
as
the
Vnderstanding
,
so
the
Will
and
Affections
may
(
in
a
degree
)
be
taken
vp
about
other
Obiects
,
as
about
Vertue
,
lawfull
profit
,
and
lawfull
pleasure
;
but
not
so
as
to
seeke
for
perfect
happinesse
in
the
one
or
in
the
other
:
For
God
onely
(
as
being
onely
infinite
)
is
the
onely
satisfactorie
Obiect
,
in
whom
alone
,
and
in
nothing
else
true
felicitie
is
to
be
found
.
The
consideration
of
this
Doctrine
should
be
a
strong
motiue
vnto
vs
to
direct
our
hearts
(
together
with
all
their
powers
,
motions
,
and
affections
)
chiefely
and
primarily
vnto
God
.
Other
things
wee
may
meditate
on
,
and
desire
,
so
far
foorth
as
they
hould
a
candle
vnto
vs
,
and
pricke
vs
forward
to
the
primary
and
onely
true
Obiect
:
But
God
alone
must
be
the
white
,
to
which
wee
all
must
ayme
;
the
Ocean
wherevnto
the
riuers
of
our
affections
must
all
flow
;
and
the
Center
wherein
the
lines
of
our
best
indeauours
must
all
meete
.
That
man
that
loues
his
daughter
will
be
carefull
to
bestow
her
in
marriage
vpon
such
a
one
as
desires
her
for
loue
,
and
out
of
his
loue
will
assure
her
a
good
ioynture
:
But
if
hee
hate
his
daughter
,
hee
will
not
care
what
becomes
of
her
;
hee
will
giue
his
consent
to
any
that
shall
make
loue
vnto
her
.
Oh
then
my
dearely
beloued
Brethren
,
if
you
loue
your
hearts
bestow
them
on
God
,
that
askes
them
for
loue
,
that
askes
them
not
for
any
benefit
to
himselfe
but
for
aduantage
vnto
them
;
that
askes
them
to
inrich
and
beautifie
them
with
the
iewels
&
ornaments
of
sauing
graces
here
in
this
world
,
and
to
indow
them
with
the
crown
of
euerlasting
blessednesse
in
the
world
to
come
.
But
if
you
hate
your
hearts
,
let
either
the
world
haue
them
,
that
they
may
become
stages
for
Folly
,
theaters
for
Vanitie
,
beds
for
Securitie
,
consistories
for
Deceipt
,
and
chaires
for
Pride
:
or
let
the
flesh
haue
them
,
that
they
may
be
seates
for
Idlenesse
,
anvills
for
Lewdnesse
,
tables
for
Epicurisme
,
furnaces
for
Lust
;
or
let
all
manner
of
sinne
and
impietie
haue
them
,
that
there
may
be
liberty
giuen
to
Sathan
to
make
Schoole-houses
of
them
,
wherein
to
read
lectures
of
Atheisme
,
of
Idolatrie
,
of
Superstition
,
of
Blasphemy
,
of
Prophanation
,
of
Disobedience
,
of
Vncleannesse
,
of
Cousenage
,
of
Oppression
,
of
Drunkennesse
,
of
Luxury
,
of
Riot
,
and
the
like
,
till
they
become
meere
Chaoses
of
confusion
,
and
vassals
of
damnation
,
to
burne
for
euer
as
neuer-perishing
Salamanders
,
in
the
red
vengeance
of
endlesse
tortures
:
from
which
the
Lord
of
his
infinite
mercye
deliuer
vs
all
,
Amen
.
