1. This hath many times been the case of Gods own people, that they have wanted expressions, they could not find a vent for their affections. Thus it was with Hannah, she spake in her heart, but she was not able to express her self. So it was with holy David, Psal. 77. 4. I am 1so troubled that I cannot speak, and yet in the first verse of that Psalm, he tells us he cried unto the Lord with his voice. Here was an heart full of prayer, though he wanted utterance.

2. It is better to have affections without expressions, then expressions without affections. God looks more to the desires of the heart then the words of the mouth. It may be what thou wantest of expression, is made up in affection.
