WAx,* 1.1 when it is laid in cold places becomes so hard and stiffe, that it will break rather then bow; but being laid in the Sun becomes soft and plya••le,* 1.2 fit for any impression: So when we neglect the duty of Meditation on good things, our hearts being changed from God, wax hard and obdurate; but when by Meditation, we draw nigh unto him, the beams of his favour shining
upon our hearts do make them soft and flexible, and fit for any holy impression that he shall be pleased to stamp upon them.
