Moses did set bounds about the mount that neither man nor beast might break in, whatsoever touched the mountain must dye: 1so must we set bounds about our heart, that neither humane, nor brutish distractions may break in. There is death or life in it, and therefore of all keepings, keep thy heart, 2for out of it are the issues of life.
