But, My heart is turned within me.
The meaning is this; As when a mans heart is much 1affected in love and compassion, there's the working of the Spirits and blood round about the heart, and mighty motions and stirrings in the heart. So saith God, ⟨p. 139⟩Me thinks I find all the blood as it were, and my spirits so working and stirred, that I find my heart even turning up and down within me when I come to the execution of wrath. And then, My repentings are kindled together.
