Nothing is accepted till the Holy Ghost dwell in the heart; and until a man be Humbled, the 1Spirit of God dwells not in his heart: And therefore what he doth till then, savours not of the Spirit, but a carnal heart, and so is not acceptable: Till a man is humbled, he keeps the door shut upon the Lord and His Spirit. There is one within, his heart is full already; he dwells in his own heart himself; therefore it is said, Esa. 57. 15. That he dwells in a contrite heart, that is in it alone, for there 2is only room for him to do what he will in all the chambers of it.
