3. Under a dark heart? this would comfort, revive thee.
4. Under a dead heart? this would quicken thee, and put the Spirit of Heaven into thee, whiles thou art on earth.
5. Under an hard heart? this would break thee. Nay this would melt thee, dissolve thee into waters.
I say, the more thou gets up (with Elijah) into this Chariot of love, the more would the mantle of sin and corruption depart from thee.
6. Under a worldly heart? This would dead thy heart for ever to the World, and set thee all on flame with the fire of heavenly affections.
