Now there be sundry ways of Communing with our own hearts. Sometimes by way of Consolation. Return to thy Rest O my Soul, &c. Psal. 116. 7. Sometimes by way of expostulation. Why art thou cast down O my soul, &c. Ps. 42. Sometimes by way of Exhortation, to quicken and excite our hearts. Psal. 62. 5. My soul wait thou only upon God. Here he stirs up his heart in believing in God. So awake, up my Glory. that is, my heart or soul. The soul of man, that is his honour, Gen. 49. 6. And see how David doth exhort his soul: up my heart, my Glory. He found his heart, it may be, somewhat dead and dull, and therefore he stirs it up, sometimes by way of Instruction, Psal. 16. 2. 7.
