Matthew23:26
Verse 26. Cleanse first that which is within] God loveth truth in the inwards, Psal. 51. 6. O Jerusalem wash thy heart, Jer. 4. 14. (not thy hands only, as Pilate did:) this breeds constancy and evennesse in all our outward behaviours, Iam. 4. 8. Grace and nature both begin at the heart, at the center, and from thence goes to the circumference. Art and hypocrisie, begin with the face and outward lineaments.
