to_o their_o heart_n so_o god_n minister_n when_o they_o come_v to_o speak_v in_o god_n name_n shall_v labour_v to_o speak_v so_o as_o to_o do_v what_o they_o can_v to_o speak_v to_o heart_n it_o be_v true_a indeed_o it_o be_v impossible_a that_o any_o man_n of_o himself_o can_v speak_v to_o the_o heart_n of_o another_o but_o yet_o he_o may_v endeavour_v and_o aim_v that_o way_n there_o be_v a_o kind_n of_o speak_v that_o god_n do_v assist_v so_o as_o to_o bring_v it_o to_o the_o heart_n of_o his_o people_n what_o speak_v be_v that_o you_o will_v say_v that_o that_o come_v from_o the_o heart_n will_v most_o likely_a go_v to_o the_o heart_n though_o i_o know_v god_n can_v take_v that_o which_o come_v but_o from_o the_o lip_n and_o carry_v it_o to_o the_o heart_n when_o he_o please_v yet_o ordinary_o that_o that_o come_v from_o the_o heart_n go_v to_o the_o heart_n therefore_o minister_n when_o they_o come_v to_o speak_v the_o great_a thing_n of_o the_o gospel_n they_o shall_v not_o seek_v so_o much_o for_o brave_a word_n and_o entice_a way_n of_o man_n wisdom_n but_o let_v they_o get_v their_o own_o heart_n warm_v with_o that_o grace_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o then_o they_o be_v most_o like_a to_o speak_v to_o the_o heart_n of_o their_o auditor_n it_o be_v a_o good_a note_n that_o i_o have_v meet_v with_o from_o ribera_n let_v minister_n remit_v say_v he_o of_o their_o care_n of_o fine_a curious_a word_n ribera_n of_o brave_a neat_a phrase_n and_o cadency_n of_o their_o sentence_n but_o let_v they_o bend_v their_o study_n to_o manifest_a humility_n and_o

sound_a brass_n and_o the_o tinkle_a cymbal_n this_o be_v a_o expression_n even_o of_o a_o jesuit_n it_o be_v then_o a_o great_a shame_n that_o god_n minister_n shall_v not_o labour_v to_o speak_v so_o as_o that_o they_o may_v speak_v to_o the_o heart_n of_o people_n you_o must_v be_v desirous_a of_o such_o kind_n of_o preach_v as_o you_o find_v speak_v to_o your_o heart_n not_o that_o that_o
