heart-silence

As tongue-service abstracted from heart-service is no service in the account of God (Is. 29:13, Matt. 15:8,9); so tongue-silence abstracted from heart-silence is no silence in the esteem of God.

From A mute Christian under the smarting rod; With Sovereign antidotes for every case. A Christian with an olive leaf in his mouth, when under the greatest afflictions, trials, troubles, and darkest providences; with answers to questions and objections, calculated to promote submission and silence under all the changes that may be experienced in this world, by Thomas Brooks.
