THE INCENTIVE.
1. VVhen IESVS sits in the hart, as in a Throne & there com∣mands, the hart is a Paradise, our cogitations, affects, desires, are euen as Angels, Cherubins, yea Seraphins, so here doe al things burne with di∣uine loue.
2. God raignes nor rules not? Sinne therefore swayes and beares the rule, most tyrant-like; and stri∣kes and wounds the miserable hart, already stretched on the cruel rack and torture, with terrours, scruples, horrid spectres, bestial appetits: no hart, but euen a Hel.
3. Little King, great God, tame my rebellious hart, subdue it to thy heasts, and eternally commaund it: Surely I wil doe what I can to de∣dicate and consecrate it to thee: doe thou defend the place, wherein thou likest wel to be shut vp.
