7 If thou wilt diligently hear, there are two kinds of understanding, one in judgement, another in heart, the one is but little, the other bringeth practise. Deut. 29. for we are said to err in hart, though not in judgement. Psal. 95. so in judgement though not in •art, if we understand in heart, then it will be a small matter to bring practise. For when we allow in judgement, and love in heart, then are we carried willingly to that thing: so that if we know a thing which we cannot be brought to do, it is because we understand not in heart.
