I iean, Gen. iii. 15. yW eare engaged now in expanding into particulars that counsel of theD ivine Master sfor the conduct of the spiritual life, which He wrapped up in the single word, Watch. We saw in our last Chapter that this counsel opens itself out in the inspired precept of theB ook of Proverbs, Keep thy heart above all keeping, and its context, that context teaching that each of the avenues is to be kept, by which the heart communicates with the outer world; the sally-port of the tongue (P ut away from thee a froward mouth ), the gate of the senses (L et thine eyes look right on ), and the sally-port of moral action (P onder the path of thy feet, and let all thy ways be established ). We are now to take up each of these points more in detail. Keep thy heart with all diligence. The heart is to be guarded against the sallying forth of evil thoughts, whether in the shape of word or action. %P rov. iv. 23 {mar .) VOL.
