Now this division of heart is intolerable in a Magistrate; when he plies his own cause under the pretence of another's; and cares not who lose, so he be a gainer. Saint Jerome calls this C•r malè locatum; for many have hearts, but not in their right places. C•r habet in ventre gulosus, l•scivus in libidine, cupidus in lucris. Naturally, if the heart be removed from the proper seat, it instantly dyes. The eye unnested from the head, cannot see: the foot sundered from the body, cannot go: so spiritually, let the heart be uncentred from Christ, it is dead. Thus the Coward is said to have his heart at his heel, the timorous hath his heart at his mouth, the envious hath his heart in his eyes, the Prodigal hath his heart in his hand, the fool hath his heart in his tongue, the covetous locks it up in his chest. He that knows the hearts of all men, will not choose a divided or misplaced heart.
Now this diuision of heart is intolerable in a Magistrate; when hee plyes his owne cause vnder the pretence of anothers; and cares not who lose, so hee bee a gayner. Saint Ierome calles this C•r malè locatum; for many haue hearts, but not in their right places. C•r habet in ventre gulosus, l•sciuus in libidine, cupidus in lucris. Naturally, if the heart bee remooued from the proper seate, it instantly dyes. The eye vnnested from the head, cannot see: the foote sundered from the body, cannot goe: so spiritually, let the heart bee vncentred from Christ, it is dead. Thus the Coward is sayd to haue his heart at his heele, the timorous hath his heart at his mouth, the enuious hath his heart in his eyes, the Prodigall hath his heart in his hand, the foole hath his heart in his tongue, the couetous locks it vp in his chest. He that knowes the hearts of all men, will not chuse a diuided or misplaced heart.
