Heart.
1 The heart is Gods own part, and that which must go to the Lord. Now as nothing might be employed to common uses, which was sacrificed by the priests under the Law: So the heart which is the Lords, must not be applied to any other use, than to his service.

Haste, how it argueth unbelief: and of Watching and waiting.
Haste, how it argueth vnbeliefe: and of Watching and waiting.
1 Nothing more bewrays unbelief, then not to stay the Lords leisure: as contrariwise, Watching and waiting on the Lord shows Faith: for those hasty and unquiet spirits, when they see not speedy redress according to their expectation, they either murmur in impatience, or they will ease their grief by seeking undirect means. And sure as nothing in prosperity is a greater token of Gods favour then to fear our selves: so in adversity, this is a pleasant pledge of our patience, when we can wait and attend on the Lord, for the time, and the manner, and the measure of our deliverance.
