The Law did not only command the outward duty, but required the worship of the heart. more grosly and carnally, which the people for the most part understood carnally; yet the duties then commanded were as spirituall as now: There is onely a graduall difference in the manifestation of the duties, no specificall difference of the duties themselves. And that this may appeare the more to the dignity and excellency of the Law, I will instance in particulars:First, The Law of God required the heart-worship and service. That this may be understood, take this for a generall rule, which is not denied by any: That when there are any Morall duties pressed in the Old-Testament, the Prophets do it, as explainers of the Law; they do but unfold and draw out that Arras which was folded together before. This being premised, then consider those places in the Old-Testament that call for the heart: Thus Pro. 3. 1 Let thine heart keep my commandements; So Pro. 23. 26. My sonne, give me thine heart: So that all the duties then performed, which were without the heart and inward man, were not regard∣ed: God required then heart-prayer, and heart humiliation.

Thus David was very sensible of his heart-neglect, when he prayed, Unite my heart to feare thy Name: and are not the people of God still under the same temptations? They would pray, they would humble themselves; but oh how they want an heart! That is so divided and distracted, that if after any duty we should put that question to it, as God did to Satan, From whence commest thou? it would returne Satans answer, From compassing the earth.2.

This you shall see frequently pressed and inculcated by the Prophets.
