The Heart is Gods peculiar; the thing he especially cares for: My son, give me thy heart: and good reason, for I gave my own Sons heart to death for it. Non minus tuum, quia meum; It is not less thine, for being mine: yea, it cannot be thine comfortably, unless it be mine perfectly. God requires it principally, but not only: give him that, and all the rest will follow. ⟨p. 75⟩He that gives me fire, needs not be requested for light and heat; for they are inseparable. Non corticis, 1sed cordis Deus. God doth not regard the rind of the lips, but the root of the heart. It was the Oracles answer, to him that would be instructed which was the best Sacrifice; Da medium Lunae, Solem simul, & canis iram: which three characters make Cor, the Heart. Mans Affection is Gods Hall: mans Memory, his Library: mans Intellect, his Privy Chamber; but his Closet, Sacrary, or Chapel, is the Heart. So Saint Augustine glosseth the Pater noster; Qui es in coelis, which art in heaven, that is, in a heavenly Heart.
