you_o or_o what_o word_n or_o argument_n may_v i_o take_v up_o to_o persuade_v you_o think_v but_o of_o these_o two_o or_o three_o particular_n for_o i_o shall_v spare_v to_o mention_v more_o 1._o how_o sad_a a_o thing_n it_o be_v for_o a_o man_n to_o carry_v a_o conscience_n within_o he_o that_o be_v altogether_o dumb_a and_o can_v say_v nothing_o or_o that_o when_o it_o speak_v tell_v he_o lie_n and_o nothing_o else_o you_o grieve_v for_o this_o in_o your_o child_n be_v affect_v with_o this_o in_o your_o own_o soul_n 2._o your_o heart_n by_o disusance_n of_o confer_v with_o they_o may_v even_o be_v utter_o lose_v to_o you_o as_o if_o you_o have_v no_o heart_n at_o all_o i_o have_v read_v of_o some_o that_o have_v come_v to_o such_o a_o pass_n as_o namely_o those_o in_o hos._n 7._o 11._o ephraim_n be_v like_o a_o silly_a dove_n without_o a_o heart_n 3._o time_n will_v come_v when_o your_o heart_n will_v speak_v and_o shall_v speak_v the_o truth_n to_o you_o though_o you_o will_v not_o put_v they_o to_o it_o to_o do_v so_o now_o as_o hab._n 2._o 3._o at_o a_o appoint_a time_n it_o shall_v speak_v and_o it_o shall_v not_o lie_v it_o may_v be_v in_o this_o life_n by_o terror_n certain_o after_o death_n by_o a_o gnaw_a worm_n the_o dumbe_v stupid_a and_o most_o senseless_a conscience_n that_o be_v now_o upon_o earth_n shall_v be_v put_v to_o it_o to_o speak_v and_o to_o speak_v out_o to_o he_o that_o have_v the_o least_o care_n or_o thought_n to_o put_v it_o to_o speak_v as_o the_o text_n enjoin_v thou_o will_v not_o strain_v thy_o heart_n to_o speak_v to_o thou_o and_o to_o tell_v thou_o the_o truth_n now_o but_o god_n will_v wrack_v it_o and_o shall_v make_v it_o speak_v and_o not_o be_v silent_a and_o how_o will_v thy_o heart_n endure_v then_o when_o the_o lord_n shall_v come_v to_o deal_v thus_o with_o thou_o as_o ezek._n 22._o 14._o man_n will_v not_o make_v their_o heart_n to_o hear_v nor_o to_o give_v they_o a_o faithful_a answer_n but_o as_o isaiah_n 26._o 11._o they_o will_v not_o see_v but_o they_o shall_v see_v they_o will_v not_o hear_v but_o they_o shall_v hear_v they_o will_v not_o answer_v according_a to_o truth_n but_o a_o time_n shall_v come_v when_o they_o shall_v answer_v put_v they_o to_o it_o betimes_o yourselves_o by_o a_o conscienscious_a communication_n lest_o god_n put_v they_o to_o it_o by_o a_o wrack_a horror_n i_o shall_v not_o go_v about_o to_o give_v rule_n how_o a_o man_n and_o his_o heart_n shall_v come_v to_o talk_v and_o how_o they_o shall_v talk_v together_o i_o will_v i_o can_v learn_v the_o lesson_n myself_o only_o give_v i_o leave_v to_o mention_v some_o thing_n to_o you_o which_o can_v choose_v but_o be_v very_o conducible_a to_o such_o a_o purpose_n as_o 1._o use_n retiredness_n this_o thing_n this_o verse_n teach_v when_o it_o direct_v to_o commune_v with_o our_o own_o heart_n upon_o our_o bed_n and_o this_o isaac_n practise_v when_o for_o his_o meditation_n he_o go_v into_o the_o solitariness_n of_o the_o field_n gen._n 24._o 63._o as_o when_o moses_n be_v alone_o in_o the_o wilderness_n and_o there_o study_v on_o god_n god_n come_v to_o he_o and_o talk_v with_o he_o exod._n 3._o so_o when_o we_o get_v alone_o purposely_o to_o study_v our_o heart_n it_o be_v a_o great_a deal_n more_o probable_a that_o our_o heart_n will_v come_v to_o we_o that_o we_o may_v entertain_v discourse_n with_o they_o then_o in_o the_o crowd_n of_o company_n and_o employment_n set_a some_o time_n apart_o out_o of_o your_o public_a or_o particular_a occasion_n to_o deal_v with_o your_o heart_n and_o to_o talk_v with_o they_o as_o david_n after_o the_o public_a business_n be_v do_v turn_v home_n to_o visit_v and_o to_o bless_v his_o own_o house_n 2_o sam._n 6._o 20._o 2_o put_v on_o resoluteness_n to_o put_v your_o heart_n to_o it_o and_o to_o hear_v even_o the_o worst_a that_o they_o can_v speak_v to_o you_o as_o eli_n to_o hear_v the_o word_n of_o the_o lord_n from_o samuel_n be_v it_o what_o it_o will_v be_v it_o never_o so_o bitter_a man_n be_v natural_o and_o general_o unwilling_a that_o their_o heart_n shall_v tell_v they_o all_o it_o know_v and_o what_o it_o ought_v and_o as_o it_o be_v a_o very_a strange_a and_o a_o very_a sad_a prayer_n that_o be_v make_v by_o the_o prophet_n hosea_n for_o the_o woman_n of_o ephraim_n hos._n 9_o 14._o give_v they_o o_o lord_n what_o will_v thou_o give_v give_v they_o a_o miscarry_a womb_n and_o dry_a breast_n a_o miserable_a thing_n to_o woman_n as_o may_v be_v yet_o such_o a_o petition_n for_o they_o as_o there_o can_v not_o be_v a_o fit_a in_o their_o present_a posture_n for_o the_o child_n bear_v be_v but_o bear_v to_o the_o slaughter_n so_o it_o be_v a_o very_a sad_a and_o doleful_a condition_n to_o a_o man_n as_o possible_o can_v be_v to_o have_v his_o conscience_n dull_a and_o dumb_a or_o to_o be_v tell_v he_o nothing_o but_o what_o be_v false_a and_o yet_o there_o be_v thousand_o that_o account_n this_o the_o best_a posture_n and_o condition_n that_o their_o conscience_n can_v be_v in_o and_o they_o can_v find_v in_o their_o heart_n and_o they_o will_v not_o take_v the_o pain_n to_o have_v it_o in_o any_o other_o temper_n nor_o will_v they_o have_v it_o speak_v any_o other_o way_n to_o they_o ah_o but_o let_v a_o righteous_a and_o a_o wakeful_a conscience_n smite_v i_o and_o not_o suffer_v i_o to_o sin_n but_o tell_v i_o of_o it_o this_o balm_n in_o the_o end_n will_v not_o break_v my_o head_n and_o i_o shall_v rejoice_v at_o last_o in_o such_o stroke_n 3._o take_v opportunity_n by_o any_o waken_n of_o conscience_n that_o put_v it_o to_o speak_v to_o keep_v it_o wake_v and_o speak_v if_o any_o pierce_a sermon_n or_o fright_v or_o cross_n or_o some_o such_o thing_n do_v rouse_v your_o heart_n at_o any_o time_n and_o set_v it_o a_o talk_n and_o tell_v you_o the_o truth_n do_v like_o benhadad_n servant_n by_o ahab_n catch_v at_o the_o opportunity_n ply_v it_o and_o keep_v it_o speak_v and_o let_v it_o not_o grow_v dumb_a again_o if_o you_o let_v it_o alone_o never_o so_o little_a like_o the_o disciple_n in_o matth._n 6._o 40_o 4●_z it_o will_v be_v asleep_a and_o speechless_a in_o a_o trice_n again_o i_o have_v know_v he_o that_o have_v have_v sometime_o very_o fair_a and_o familiar_a society_n and_o communication_n with_o his_o own_o heart_n and_o they_o have_v discourse_v serious_o and_o true_o one_o to_o another_o have_v ask_v question_n and_o give_v answer_n without_o deceive_v when_o something_o or_o other_o have_v come_v between_o and_o interrupt_v a_o while_n this_o friendly_a converse_n and_o my_o belove_a be_v go_v my_o heart_n get_v out_o of_o the_o way_n and_o neither_o it_o nor_o a_o word_n from_o it_o to_o be_v find_v again_o 4._o when_o your_o heart_n and_o you_o be_v talk_v together_o do_v it_o as_o if_o you_o be_v talk_v together_o at_o god_n dreadful_a tribunal_n as_o if_o you_o be_v and_o as_o you_o must_v once_o be_v debate_v the_o case_n there_o charge_v it_o as_o paul_n do_v timothy_n 2_o tim._n 4._o 1._o as_o before_o god_n and_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n that_o it_o speak_v the_o truth_n and_o that_o there_o be_v no_o dissemble_n betwixt_o you_o before_o they_o must_v you_o once_o debate_v the_o matter_n to_o the_o very_a bottom_n do_v it_o as_o before_o they_o continual_o and_o now_o for_o conclusion_n of_o all_o and_o for_o our_o three_o application_n i_o shall_v crave_v leave_n to_o leave_v some_o few_o proposal_n and_o interrogatory_n 3._o with_o you_o for_o your_o own_o heart_n that_o as_o elijah_n before_o his_o departure_n out_o of_o the_o world_n leave_v a_o letter_n behind_o he_o for_o joram_n the_o king_n of_o judah_n to_o ruminate_v upon_o when_o elijah_n be_v go_v 2_o chron._n 21._o 12_o so_o before_o we_o part_v i_o beseech_v you_o take_v from_o i_o something_o along_o with_o you_o to_o commune_v and_o confer_v with_o your_o heart_n about_o when_o you_o and_o i_o see_v not_o each_o other_o and_o when_o you_o be_v alone_o i_o shall_v do_v herein_o by_o you_o as_o a_o israelite_n do_v by_o the_o priest_n when_o he_o will_v have_v he_o to_o inquire_v something_o for_o he_o of_o the_o lord_n by_o urim_n and_o thummim_fw-la i_o shall_v put_v my_o question_n into_o your_o hand_n and_o shall_v leave_v you_o to_o go_v to_o the_o oracle_n of_o your_o own_o heart_n and_o to_o take_v their_o answer_n some_o general_a thing_n i_o will_v propose_v to_o all_o of_o you_o in_o general_a and_o some_o particular_n to_o some_o particular_n i_o may_v to_o all_o in_o general_a desire_n you_o to_o question_n with_o your_o own_o heart_n you_o that_o have_v

be_v preserve_v in_o these_o sad_a time_n and_o you_o that_o have_v be_v spectator_n of_o the_o sad_a judgement_n that_o have_v be_v upon_o we_o what_o better_n you_o have_v have_v by_o all_o these_o judgement_n and_o what_o thankfulness_n you_o have_v show_v for_o your_o preservation_n but_o the_o first_o question_n that_o i_o will_v desire_v every_o one_o that_o hear_v i_o this_o day_n to_o propose_v to_o his_o own_o heart_n be_v but_o this_o heart_n how_o do_v thou_o a_o few_o word_n but_o a_o very_a serious_a question_n you_o know_v this_o be_v the_o first_o question_n and_o the_o first-salute_n that_o we_o use_v one_o to_o another_o sir_n how_o do_v you_o i_o will_v you_o will_v as_o constant_o practise_v it_o with_o your_o own_o heart_n heart_n how_o do_v thou_o do_v how_o be_v it_o with_o thou_o for_o thy_o spiritual_a estate_n get_v but_o a_o true_a answer_n from_o your_o heart_n upon_o this_o quaere_fw-la and_o then_o you_o will_v see_v that_o i_o have_v some_o cause_n and_o reason_n why_o i_o propose_v this_o question_n i_o know_v what_o the_o answer_n of_o most_o heart_n will_v be_v before_o the_o quaere_fw-la be_v propose_v namely_o that_o it_o will_v be_v either_o like_o elisha_n about_o benhadad_n no_o danger_n of_o death_n though_o he_o die_v present_o or_o like_o the_o pharisee_n in_o the_o gospel_n lord_n i_o thank_v he_o i_o be_o not_o as_o other_o man_n heart_n be_v tell_v that_o heart_n i_o believe_v it_o not_o tell_v it_o you_o believe_v it_o not_o examine_v it_o further_o press_v it_o like_o ahab_n to_o mioaiah_n again_o leave_v it_o not_o like_o dalilah_n till_o you_o have_v its_o utmost_a get_v a_o right_a and_o direct_v and_o real_a answer_n to_o this_o question_n and_o then_o answer_v i_o whether_o it_o be_v not_o worth_a the_o ask_n this_o be_v but_o the_o very_a same_o quaere_fw-la in_o substance_n that_o the_o apostle_n propose_v 2_o cor._n 13._o 5._o examine_v yourselves_o whether_o you_o be_v in_o the_o faith_n second_o propose_v this_o question_n to_o every_o one_o of_o your_o heart_n heart_n what_o will_v thou_o do_v or_o heart_n what_o do_v think_v will_v become_v of_o thou_o and_o i_o as_o that_o die_a

latter_a end_n and_o oh_o that_o you_o will_v propose_v it_o constant_o to_o your_o heart_n to_o consider_v and_o debate_v upon_o will_v you_o but_o dispute_v these_o two_o question_n every_o one_o with_o his_o own_o heart_n and_o put_v his_o conscience_n to_o it_o to_o give_v its_o clear_a opinion_n in_o these_o matter_n or_o to_o speak_v the_o very_a truth_n what_o it_o think_v concerning_o your_o present_a and_o future_a estate_n i_o shall_v think_v i_o have_v gain_v exceed_v much_o by_o this_o discourse_n that_o i_o have_v make_v and_o that_o i_o have_v spend_v this_o hour_n exceed_v

all_o that_o i_o will_v say_v close_v up_o in_o your_o bosom_n i_o will_v fain_o commend_v something_o to_o the_o serious_a conference_n of_o yourselves_o and_o your_o own_o heart_n when_o they_o and_o you_o be_v together_o alone_o and_o they_o be_v but_o these_o three_o thing_n what_o have_v be_v do_v for_o you_o what_o have_v be_v do_v before_o you_o and_o what_o you_o have_v to_o do_v i_o
