7.m That we list up pure hearts in Prayer. For heaven, where God is on his Throne of Grace, and whither our souls in Prayer ascend, is a pure, and holy place:n into it no unclean thing can enter. Besides, from heaven can God espy with what minds and hearts we come before him.o His throne being in heaven, his eyes behold, his eye-lids try the children of men. Now he can endure to iniquity, no hypocrisy.p If we regard wickedness, God will not hear our Prayers. qThey are abomination to him.
