will_v not_o dispute_v sure_o i_o be_o now_o the_o heart_n of_o man_n be_v the_o sink_n of_o sin_n as_o our_o saviour_n say_v out_o of_o the_o heart_n proceed_v evil_a thought_n adultery_n

their_o heart_n be_v full_a of_o all_o raven_a and_o wickedness_n therefore_o wisdom_n will_v we_o to_o consecrate_v our_o heart_n unto_o god_n not_o that_o god_n will_v not_o have_v the_o hand_n as_o

unto_o his_o service_n as_o st._n paul_n exhort_v to_o give_v our_o body_n a_o lively_a sacrifice_n unto_o god_n but_o because_o the_o heart_n be_v the_o chief_a part_n and_o the_o fountain_n from_o whence_o all_o our_o thought_n word_n and_o work_n do_v arise_v therefore_o the_o heart_n must_v first_o be_v wash_v and_o cleanse_v purify_v by_o faith_n in_o a_o good_a conscience_n to_o serve_v
