The heart and tongue should go together.
The heart and tongue should goe together.
The tongue should always be the hearts Interpreter, and the heart should always be the tongues suggester; what is spoken with the tongue should be first stamped upon the heart, and wrought off from it. Thus it should be in all our Communications and exhortations, especially when we speak or exhort about the things of God, and dispense the mysteries of heaven. David spake from his heart while he spake from his faith (Psal: 116.10.) I believed, therefore have I spoken. Believing is an act of the heart, with the heart man believeth; so that to say, I believed, therefore have I spoken; Is as if he had said, I would never have spoken these things, if my heart had not been clear and upright in them. The Apostle takes up that very protestation from David (2 Cor: 4.13.) According as it is written, I believed, therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak; that is, we moved others to believe nothing but what we believed, yea, were fully assured of, our selves, as the next words of the Apostle import, Knowing, that he which raised up the Lord Jesus, shall raise up us also by Jesus, and shall present us with you. To speak what we in our hearts believe, is to speak in the uprightness of our hearts.
