All other faculties of man apprehend their objects, when they are brought home to them, only the Will, the Heart goes home to the object. Colour must come to the eye, before it can see it: sound to the ear, before it can hear it: the object to be apprehended is brought home to the understanding, and past things are recollected to the memory; before either can do her office. But the heart goes home to the object. Ubi the saurus, ibi cor. Not where the heart is, there will be the treasure: but where the treasure is, there will be the heart.

1Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God. Of all, the pure heart is beholding to God, and shall one day behold God. Therefore Dadid prays,2 Cor mundum crea in me, Deus: Create in me a clean heart, O God. The Lord rested from the works of his Creation the seventh day; but so dearly he loves clean hearts, that he rests from creating them no day. As ⟨p. 77⟩Jehu said to •e••nadab, 3Est t•bi cor rectum, Is thy heart right? Then give me thy hand,come up into my chariot. So this is Gods question, Is thy heart upright? Then give me thy hand, ascend my triumphant Chariot, the everlasting glory of heaven.
