The fourth thing is purity of heart; pure hearts and hands in Heb 10 22. Rev. 5. 8. having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odours which are the prayers of Saints; mark, the prayers of Saints are odours in golden vials; the golden vials I may compare to the heart; the hearts of the Saints must be as golden vials, and then their prayers will be as odours; in 1 Tim. 2. 8. the holy Ghost giving directions how we should pray, it is with this qualification, I will therefore that men pray every where lifting up holy hands without wrath and doubting, the outward conversation must be pure, and the heart pure; in Job, 22. 26. mark what's said concerning that holy man; there's a promise made to him for the lifting up of his face to God, putting away iniquity from his Tabernacle, that by putting away evil from our Tabernacles, and from our hearts, we may be able to lift up our hearts with joy to go; and that's the fourth thing, purity of heart and hands.
