IN this Proverb two things.
1. The Proposition, and that by a Similitude; As in water, face answereth to face. 2. The Reddition, So doth the heart of the man to man. Or in the words these two Generals to be observed. 1. A Glass. 2. An Object to be seen in this Glass.
1. A Glass, a notable one: that's two-fold, a dead Glass, Water; a living Glass, the Heart of a Man.
2. The Object to be seen in these Glasses: in the dead Glass, the face of man is to be seen; in the living Glass, the heart of man; there's all the Species and Complexions of the Sons, nay, of the Souls of the Sons of Men, to be seen. That as by looking into the Water, you may discern your own, and other mens countenances, and that plainly and clearly; So, by looking into your own hearts, if you could have a Casement into the hearts of other men, there may you see of what Spiritual Complexion, Constitution, and Make you are, as clearly as a man may see his face in water. As in water, &c. From these words, this great Truth, that the Heart of every man in the world is a Looking-glass. 'Tis such a Looking-glass, wherein he may see himself, his Condition, Constitution, special Complexion, whether it be Morally, Spiritually, Scripturally, Good or Evil. For the right improvement of this Looking-glass, three things necessary, which are optic Principles, but clear to those that have either Physical, or Natural Light.
