They considered not in their hearts] In the original it is, They say not to their hearts. 1This phrase in other Scriptures is used for saying in their hearts: Jer. 5.24. Neither say they IN their hearts, Let us fear God which giveth rain. And in Eccles. 1.16. Considering, is, communing with our own hearts; I spoke or consulted with my heart. From this phrase of speaking thus to our hearts, we may observe:

1It is a good thing to be often speaking to our own hearts, thus: Oh my soul, how is it with thee? what case art thou in? how stand things between God and thee? what terms standest thou in for eternity? canst thou look upon Gods face with comfort and not be afraid? what guilt is there in thy conscience? canst thou behold eternity and rejoice in the thoughts of it? Such meditations and questionings as these would be very profitable for the soul; Many people can talk abroad in company of these things, but where is the man that sets apart time to question with his soul about these?
