“Where Christ is, he rules; for he takes the keys of the house and governs all. Where he is in the heart and affections - there he rules; and where he takes not his lodging in the affections and in the heart, in the joy, desire, and delight, he is not at all. To have him in the brain to talk, and in the tongue to discourse, and yet to keep the heart filled with worldly lusts, shows that Christ does not reside there. By the heart, I mean, especially, the will and the affections. He draws the will to cleave to him, to choose him for the best good.”
