1. The Scripture expressly calls for this, Prov. 3.5. Trust in the Lord with all thy heart, Act. 8.37. If thou believest with all thy heart thou shalt be saved, Joel, 3.13. Turn unto the Lord with all your hearts, Jer. 29.13. You shall find the Lord when you seek him with your whole hearts. As when we have a great gift to bestow, and we ask a ⟨p. 184⟩poor man to whom we intend to give it, whether he will accept of it or no? Yes, saith he, with all my heart; so tis here, the Lord asks those he intends to bestow his Son upon, and saith to them, You have lived thus long without him, and thus long abused him, will you now have him, and accept of him? Yes Lord, with all my heart; This is all the Lord requires. Doth the Lord require no more of me, but to come? Lord, this voice is most sweet to me, I come, with all my heart I come.

Yes, saith he, with all my heart; so tis here, the Lord askes those he intends to bestow his Son upon, and saith to them, You have lived thus long without him, and thus long abused him, will you now have him, and accept of him? Yes Lord, with all my heart; This is all the Lord requires. Doth the Lord require no more of me, but to come? Lord, this voice is most sweet to me, I come, with all my heart I come.
