Utter words out of their heart.
Ʋtter words out of their heart.
The meaning of that is, either: First in general, they will give thee the real conceptions of their minds about these points, they will speak sincerely, they will not speak to thee from the teeth outward, but from the heart inward. Secondly, they will speak wisely and judiciously to thee about these things; they will utter, not so much words as oracles to thee out of their heart.

The heart is the seat of knowledge and understanding, and a wise man is (homo cordatus) a hearty man,1 a man with a heart; and a fool in Scripture is said to be a heartless man, a man without a heart; he cannot utter words from his heart, who wants a heart, he utters them from his mouth, or from his tongue. A fools heart is in his mouth, and a wise mans mouth is in his heart; he speaks that which lies in the ⟨p. 69⟩in-most recesses and closets of his spirit: he speaks from meditation, he brings what he speaks to his heart,2 and from his heart utters what he speaks. Christ assures us, That a good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good things, and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart brings forth evil things. Every heart is a treasury. When a good man speaks evil, he speaks not from his heart (though he hath a stock of sinfulness in him) but from his lips; and when an evil man speaks good, he speaks it not from his heart, but from his lips: for he hath no stock or treasury of good within. An hypocrite speaks good with a heart and a heart, with a double heart. A fool speaks without a heart, yet of the two, it is better to have no heart then two.
