Modern spelling is a reading aid: the words are the author’s, only the spelling is modernized. Original shows the page as printed, with the transcription marks.
Thirdly, observe, They that teach others should teach their own hearts to speak.
It is best speaking to others with the heart. The heart will teach better then the tongue, yea better then the understanding, •he word which comes from the heart of the teacher, goes soonest to the heart of the hearer.
Fourthly, observe, The heart is the true repository or treasury of holy truths.
You may see where the fathers, the holy men in ancient time laid up truth: they utter words out of their heart, then, truth was laid ⟨p. 71⟩up there. Truth is (as it were) the heart of God, and therefore we must put it into our hearts. David hid the Commandments of God in his heart: Mary laid up the words of Christ there. To have the word only swimming in our brains, is to as little purpose, as to have it only in our Note-books. To have truth only in our brains or in our books, will do us as little good as water in our shoes. It is a sad thing to consider how many thousand Sermons are written almost word for word in books, and scarce a letter of them written in the heart. The promise of the new Covenant is, that God will write his law in our hearts: Let not any rest satisfied in having the word written in their books.
