Malachi 2:16.

By JOS. CLARKE

“TAKE heed to your spirit.” This passage is also found in verse 15. It is a solemn warning against allowing the thoughts to range at large, without control. Take heed to the heart, the thoughts, the motives, the desires, the affections. Be very jealous of yourself. Watch closely this fountain of thought. Recollect the heart will instruct the tongue.
Keep this heart, regulate the affections, purify the motives. Then there will be no temptation to hypocrisy, no desire to do wrong. Take heed to thy spirit. Do this, and your tongue and hand will move in harmony with your well-kept heart; and all will be harmony, peace, love, and obedience. JOS. CLARKE.
