in_o man_n as_o our_o prophet_n say_v elsewhere_o to_o direct_v his_o own_o way_n 10.23_o jer._n 10.23_o so_o be_v it_o not_o in_o man_n to_o wash_v or_o cleanse_v his_o own_o heart_n from_o

2.22_o jer._n 2.22_o i_o answer_v by_o a_o distinction_n that_o man_n must_v be_v consider_v either_o as_o he_o be_v regenerate_v or_o not_o regenerate_v as_o he_o be_v unregenerate_a he_o can_v do_v

the_o like_a but_o active_a also_o and_o work_v together_o with_o god_n grace_n who_o have_v renew_v our_o will_n do_v will_n we_o and_o command_v we_o to_o repent_v to_o convert_v to_o turn_v to_o work_v out_o our_o salvation_n to_o wash_v our_o heart_n from_o wickedness_n and_o the_o like_a and_o yet_o this_o doctrine_n be_v so_o far_o from_o popery_n as_o popery_n be_v from_o purity_n or_o

our_o regeneration_n therefore_o let_v prayer_n and_o repentance_n ever_o go_v together_o by_o true_a repentance_n we_o must_v turn_v to_o the_o lord_n by_o prayer_n we_o must_v crave_v grace_n to_o
