Thirdly, note.
A man without understanding is a heartless man.
A man without understanding is a heartlesse man.
Headless men are heartless men. It is said (Hos. 7.11.) Ephraim is like a silly dove without a heart. All the people of God are or should be innocent doves, like doves for innocency and gracious simplicity; but how unbecoming is it that any of them should be doves for silliness or silly doves without a heart; that is without any spirit or courage for God, and the things or ways of God. To be without a heart is to be without a due apprehension of the mind of God, or any true conformity thereunto; 'tis to have no knowledge either to do good, or to be good; all such are silly doves without a heart, without understanding, and all such are yet unfit and unprepared hearers. Hearken to me ye men of understanding, Far be it from God that he should do wickedly.
